THE ROBERT BELkNAP.
Terrible Experiences of Maine Ship in
the China Sea.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Steamer Moray
arrived from Yokohama today and
brought Capt. Horace Staples and his
son, w. Fl. Staples, of the American ship
Robert L.. BeH1nap wrecked off Natuna
Island in the China sea January 10th.
Capt. Staples resides at Stockton Springs,
Me-, and is the first of the crew of the
Belknap to reach this country.
Capt. Staples said: ''What we went
through is a chapter In my life want to
forget. The Belknap was as fine a ship
as ever left New York. She belonged to
Carleton Norwood 6 Co., Rockport, Me.
We took on a portion of cargo
at Hiogo, Japau, and the rest
at Kobe. We left the latter
port December 80, for New York. Natu-
ma island was sighted January 18th. The
weather was very thick, and as the coast
is dangerous hauled the Belknap to the
southwest to clear the island. About
a. M on the 10Th, land was again sighted
on the starboard bow. saw we had
kept the Belknap so much to the south
west that we had passed the islands dur
ing the night. I hauled off, but it was
too late, and at struck on a rock which
was not down on the charts. The ship
began to fill and we took to the boats.
The men behaved WELL The chief mates
wife, the only woman on board, never
faltered. There were 28 of us. The
chief mate, his wife and six of the crew
went in the first boat, and the others fol-
lowed. Myself, son and six men were
the last to leave. The Belknap had
drifted to within IA miles of Natuna.
The boats reached the islands safely.
We decided to leave separately the next
day for the nearest land, Singapore, 32O
miles away"
Captain Staples described the fearful
suffering of those in his boat during the
five days on the way to Singapore. They
had just enough food and water to keep
them alive, but suffered mostly from ex-s
posure to the burning sun and the cold
nights. They reached Singapore almost
exhausted. The American Consul sent
Captain Staples and his son home on the
Moray. The second mate and four of
the Grew are lately reported to have safe
ly arriveh at Singapore.

BOTH LOST.
Tho Caroline Gray and the Martha Innis
Are Missing. Y
Especial TO the Press.l

Especial TO the Press.]
RocKLAND, March 20.-The brig Caro-
line Gray, which sailed from this port
February 18th for New York, with lime
from Perry Bros, is now given up as
lost. Some slight hopes are entertained
that she may have been blown off her
course and is now at some distant point,
but the general belief in seafaring circles
is to the effect that she went down in the
terrible storm which ragged along the
coast on the 10Th and 10th.
She carried crew of eight all told, as
follows: Paul Locke of this city, cap
tain; G. Ell. Davis of Rockland, mate;
Chris. Anderson, a Norwegian, cook;
James M. Ward of South Thomaston.
Thomas Hood of Sweden; A. Simpson of
Rockland; John Stewart of Liverpool
and John o. Hall of South Thomaston,
The case of Captain Locke is particular
ly sad. He was remarkably fine young
man of about 80 years Of age and had
only been married about three months.
This was his first trip after his wedding
vacation.
The brig Caroline Gray was built in
this city in 1859 by I. L. Snow 6 Co.,
who with Joseph Farwell, are her princi-
pal owners. She cost about $4,000.
This winter she was thoroughly rebuilt,
and when she left here the 18th ult., was
as good in every timber as when first
launched. She registered as follows:
Gross tonnage 327.31, net tonnage 310 "a,
length 115.7, breadth 26.8, depth AL.
Schooner Martha Innis, another Rock
land vessel, is also given up for lost.
She was bound from New York for Bos-
ton and carried a considerably heavier
cargo of coal than usual l-375 tons.
February 10th she sailed from Vine
yard Haven, into which port she had put
Just before the big storm began. She
was last seen on that night off Cope Cod.
The gale increased constantly after that
time for more than "a hours, when it be-
came hurricane. AS has been previous
ly stated she was heavily laden, and
much doubt is expressed that she could
have withstood the storm.
Capt. j. B. Speed of South Thomaston,
who commanded her, was about 35 years
of age, unmarried, and one Of the best
known sea captains sailing out of this
port. It is not known who sailed with
him as a new crew was shipped at New
York.
Schooner Martha Innis was built in
1870 at Smyrna, Del, costing $23, 900.
Last fall she was rebuilt at cost OF
about $40 Her dimensions are as
follows: Gross tonnage 258.31. net tom
mage 245.40, length 1865, breadth 20,
depth 8.4. Her owners were A. G. Gay
& Co. 22.64, Joseph Farwell 1854, A. G..
Hunt 4-e4, Howard Haviland, New York,
