The Missing Ship Has Not Been Spoken,
However, Siuce She Passed Fastnet.
She Is Now Five Days Overdue at New York,
and it Is Almost Certain She has Been
Disabled-625 Souls on Board.

arder Umbrla is all that can be INDUCED in.
That she has met with an accident is agreed
in shipping circles. but just the nature. ex-
tent and seriousness of that mishap will
not be known until she is spoken
port. At midnight tonight the
Umbria was five days overdue. not o
word having been spoken with her since
she was sighted off Fastnet light. out
ward bound, eleven days ago. Two of the
most serious accidents that could befall
the Umbris would be running down one of
the many derelicts now drifting aimlessly
In the steamship lines. or collidihg with
another vessel. There is no fear of the
Umbria running out of coal, as she carries
an emergency supply which will keep her
furnaces going for eighteen days.
The Hamburg American line steamer
Moravia. Captain Winckle. which arrived
late tonight. reported that on Dec. 81. 10 A.
NJ. latitude 400. longitude $50 So, about
three miles distant. she sighted q three
masted and two-funneled steamer. bound
west, going at her usual speed and directly
in the Liverpool track. Tho weather was
fine at the time, but soon became boisterous.
1t was the opinion OF the officers that the
steamer was undoubtedly the Umbria. The
Moravia left Hamburg Dec. IL, and expe-
rlenced rough weather from about Dec. %
until she reached this port.
A representative of the line made the fol-
lowing statement: 1--WE have every reason
to believe that the Umbria Is safe. She is
one of the stanchest steamships on the At
lantic. and built to resist the heaviest gales
and the toughest seas. We believe that she
will be heard from tb-day. Among the pos
sibilities of the cause of her delay the most
likely are that she has suffered some
machinery has become disabled and
forced her to proceed under sail alone,
OF that she Is assisting some other steam
ship TO reach port. We are not even
anxious or worried over her delay" When
asked if the reinsuring of her cargo by the
London underwriters wac not significant
that the insurance men on the other side of
the water were uneasy about her Mr..
They merely wish to DIVIDE the amount Of
the risk 90 that they will not carry too
great an amount over into the new year."
