PIrTsBuRaH, April 2z-John Lucock,
electrician OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, OF this city, made u
statement to-day that may throw some
light on the loss Of hesIeamer Naronic.
lie said his brother Robert was en-
ployed on the Naronic in the capacity
OF seeon engineer, and that just alter
the vessel arrived at Liverpool on its
last "trip he wrote letter to his brother
Tom, who is located in Chicago, stating
that the boilers and the engine were in
very bad shape, and that they had a
hard time in going over from New York
to Liverpool, The writer stated that
unless repairs were made while the
vessel was lying at Liverpool the return
trip would very likely be dangerous,
LucoCk was averse to talking, but
said that, while OF course he had not
the remotest idea what caused the yes
sol to sink, from the tone OF his
brothers letter he was inclined to think
that the boilers had blown up. Robert,
ne said, was very conservative man
and would not write anything about
tho boilers that would be inaccurate or
unreliable, As he is among the miss
ing 1t would be difficult matter to
prove that the vessels destruction was
caused in this way. The letter also
stated that he was about TO mako his
last trip, and did not intend to follow
the ocean any longer. Mr.. Lucock had
another brother lost in about tho same
way oil the shores Of Australia.
