NARONIC HEARD FROM
A Bottled Letter Found on
 the Virginia Shore.
STRUCK BY AN ICEBERG AND SUNK.

The Wntchmnn on the Beach at Ocean
 tleman, Wrote it Feb. 19. Just Before
 the ship Went DOwn-In the Midst of q
 G"n0ineness of the Letter.
 NORFOLK, Va, March 30.-The report that news has been received from the lost Naronic has caused a great sensation here, and many doubt the genuineness of the source. While the word of the finder of of the evidence is not doubted still he may have been made the victim of a trick. If no trick is discovered all speculation re- garding the long overdue freights will end and she will soon be forgotten.
 William Johnson the winter watchman at Ocean View, Va, summer resort near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, has picked up on the beach at that place a bottle with several corks tied about it's neck and with letter enclosed, giving alleged information from one of the crew of the sinking of the White Star Line steamship Naronic. The letter reads:
 $50 a. m. Feb. 10, S. s. Naronic, White Star line. at sea.
 To who picks this up; Report when you dnd this to our agents if not heard before that our ship Is fast sinking beneath the waves, and it's such storm that we can never live in the small boats.
 One boat has already gone, with her hu- man cargo, below. God let all of us live through this
 We were struck by an iceberg in n blinding snowstorm and floated two hours,
 Now 1t is 3:3O a. m by my watch and the great ship is deck level with the sea.
 Report to the agents at Broadway, Now lorh, VI. kerssy X Co. Good bye all
 JOHN OLSEN. Cattleman.
 Whether or not the bottle could have drifted from the neighborhood cf the Grand Banks, or the Labrador current, which skirts the west edge of the Gulf stream, flowing southwest, is a matter for the students of the ecCentricities ofcurrents to find out From the date of the bottle message, Feb. 19, to yesterday, thirty eight days elapsed
 The Naronic was, if she were not crib pied, within about five or six days of this port. This conjecture allows her several days more than her usual time for the tur- oulent weather encountered by nearly all steamships throughout February.
 The question is, could the Labrador cur rent bring the bottle down from the north of the Grand Banks, about HOO miles, ill thirty eight days,
 lcebergs have been sighted several times in February in the track of freighters from northern Europe; but none of the steamships of the regular lines, that take safe tracks, observed any bergs, although some field ice was passed
