Special to the REcoRD-UN1ox.

ASTORIA or, Jan. 9-The bark Sea-
forth arrived yesterday from Acapulco.
She had been knocking about the mouth
OF the Columbia River since December
18th. Her tattered condition and the
story told by the Captain and crew bear
evidence to the terrible gales that have
been prevalent on the coast for the past
three weeks. She lost half her sails, three
OF her boats were shattered and both
anchors gone, and at one time all hope
was given up.
New Years morning at o'clock the
ship, after passing through four days of
terrible storm, found herself in a COM
paratively easy position. The Captain
called every man on board aft, and, after
ordering the cook to tap two barrels of
beer, wished all a "Happy New ear"
In another hour she was drifting into
the breakers of Shoalwater Bay in dense
fog. The boats were lashed and ready to
lower in the surf, and the Captain, ad-
dressing the men, told them that all
hope was gone. The sudden change was
brought about by a terrible southwest
gale that blew away the topsails and put
the ship OH her beam ends three times.
While her ballast was shifted and all
knowledge of her position lost, the sound
OF surf was heard. Firing rockets and
redlights for lifeboat, she passed out
through the breakers, her bottom touch
ing every moment, into safety and the
open ocean, dropping both anchors as
she went. Since then she has been drift
ing about experiencing heavy gales from
the southwest, and the worst weather
that the Captain. an old sea-goer, has
ever met with.

WAS IT MURDER?

WAS IL MONDEN
A young white woman, named
Marie Celina Guidroz, aged about
20 years, was brought to town We'd
nesday by Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Mouton and placed in the parish
prison, charged with the murder of
Willie Melancon, boy about
2 years old. 1t appears that the
accused was living with the foster
parents of Willie, Mr.. and Mrs.
Vilmond Melancon, near Carencro
bayou. On Friday, Dec. 8, Marie
Guidroz went to the bayou.to wash
some potatoes, and took along with
her the little boy, who was subse-
quently found drowned. We give
below the testimony given before
the coroner's jury and the verdict
of the jury:
Marie Celina Guidroz, after being duly
sworn said: ssFriday last, Dec. 8. 1893,
was washing potatoes on raft in the ba-
YOU L had the child Willie Melancon on
my left arm; when the raft Started drifting
I let the child drop in the bayou. Water at
that place was about waist deep think.
When the child fell started away. At the
moment could not hallow, was too much
afraid. 1t was half an hour after that could
call for assistance. When I reached home I
did not tell anyone that the child was
drowned
Edouard Sicily said: s'Last Friday, Dec.
8, 1898, was working at sugar mill abo, t
four arpents distant from home. When
heard Marie Guidroz hallowing after Willie
who was drowned. Marie Guidroz said to
Mrs. Euclide Sicily: sit is use to call
for Willie; where he is, he will not answer"
The child had natural dread of water and
was not in the habit of going to the bayou.
The water where I found the child was about
two feet and half deep. The child was
about five steps going up stream from the
raft''
Mrs.'Vilmond Melancon, the foster-mother
of the child, said: ssFriday last, Dec. 8,
Marie Guidroz was coming in the house with
a dish of potatoes that she had washed in the
the bayou. I asked her, Where is Willie P
She answered sHe is there I asked Mrs.
Euclide Sicily to call him when Mary Gui-
droz answed: 1T is to call him; he
will not answer where he is.'''
Vilu,ond Melancon, the foster-father of
the child, said: .sFriday last, Dec. 8, was
working at the sugar mill when heard Ma
rie Guidroz hallowing. started running
following Edwouard Sicily straight to the
bayou and found the child, Willie Melancon,
drowned. Marie Guidroz, when called for
assistance was running in direction opPo-
where the child who was drowned.''
The jury of inquest, composed of Messrs.
Edgard Martin, J. Y. Villere, Lucien Cay
ret, Ernest Crouchet, c. L. Where, and
Coroner Gladu, rendered the following YER
dict:
said Willie Melancon came to
his death by drowning while being in charge
of Marie Celina Guidroz, and, we, the jul
rors, find Marie Celina Guiolroz guilty OF
gross negligence, if not more, and we sug-
gest investigation by the grand jury"
