The Absurd Story of Her Foundering Was
Riddled Some Time Ago by the "News."

Recently. a local paper concocted and
published silly story of the probable
fate Of the schooner Nellie May. which
sailed for Brava, Cape De Verde Islands,
from this port with an assorted cargo
and several passengers from the Portu-
gese colony.
The NEWS examined the story the next
day and discredited 1t. pointing out the
improbability OF the vessel having found
cred and the feeling of assurance among
shipping men in this city that the schoon-
er had already reached her destination or
would reach IL within few days. All
pronounced the conjectures INDUCED in
by the sensationalist as absolutely use
less and shameful.
The Nellie May is safe at Bravo where
she arrived several days ago, eighty DAYS
out from PROVIDENCE. All are report ed
well A dispatch received at New Bed
ford, Mass, confirms this statement.
