What the New York Agent OF the White
Star Line Thinks.

What the New York Agent OF the White
Star Line Thinks.
New YORK, March 20.-Mr. H. Maitland Ker-
to which the Naronic belongs, still has hopes
that the n aronic has not gone down and says
'1he finding Of the boats reported by the
steamship Coventry does not in any way prove
that the Naronic is lost. big sea NAV have
Naronic, perhaps with her machinery disabled,
was laboring against the Storm
This opinion, however. is hardly borne out
by the facts as cabled today from Bremen,
which show that the boats had been occupied
and pavigated. 1t is quite possible that some
vessels picked up the occupants o: these boats
and they will eventually be heard from, and the
fate Of the Naronc known.
BREMEN. March 20.-Capt Wilson. the COM
mander Of the Coventry, states that he was not
able to plainly decipher the name on the first
lifeboat passed by the steamer. though there is
no doubt in his mind that it was .'Naronic ~
The boat being capsized rendered the reading
OF the name almost impossible, az the letters
reversed could only be seen when the ends of
the boat were clear Of the sea. The Coventry,
stated above. sailed from Fernandina on
February 10, calling at Brunswick. Ga. and
Norfolk. Va. which latter port she left Febru-
ary 81, Just about the time the Naronic was due
TO arrive at New York.
Capt. Wilson was therefore not aware that
anything had befallen the Naronic or
that she had not arrived at New York.
When the Coventry came up with the
second lifeboat the name painted on it
half filled with water. Its appearance led Capt
Wilson to believe that its occupants had been
taken on board some vessel, after which the
boat was cast adrift.

BREMEN. March 20.-After long-continued
anxiety as to the fate Of the White Star line
freight steamer Naronlc, which sailed from
Liverpool February IL for New York and which
had not since been heard Of, intelligence has
the vessel is lost.
The British steamer Coventry, Capt Wilson.
from Fernandina February 10. arrived at this
port today. She reports that at 2 o'clock in
the morning OF March 4, when in latitude AZ
north, longitude 46 west. she passed a lifeboat
painted white bearing the name ''Naronic. ="
The boat was floating keel upward.
At 2 O'Clock in the afternoon Of the same day
another ifeboat from the NaronIc was passed.
This boat gave evidence Of having encountered
heavy weather. The mast and oars Of the life
boat had been dashed together and attached to
the painter and then thrown overheard as a
sea anchor to keep the boats head up to the
wind and sea. Judging from appearances
neither Of the boats had been long adrift.
The position of the drifting boats was south
by west of Sable Island, on the banks Of New
foundland. There is a chance that the occu-
pants of the boats were picked up by passing
vessel.
POSSIBLY SURVIVORS OF THE NARoNIc.
LIVERPOOL, March 20.-Oficials of the White
Star Line Company here have received the full
report Of the steamer Coventry, which arrived
at Bremen today. All doubt as to the fate of
the Naronic has been dispelied by
the sighting Of her lifeboats. That
she is now at the bottom of the ocean cannot be
disputed. but the cause of the destruction Is o.
course still a matter Of conjecture. 1t may be,
judging from the latitude and longitude in
which the boats were seen. that the steamer
struck either derelict or an iceberg. though il
is still rather early in the season for ice to be
adrift SO far south as the banks.
1t his hoped that the mystery Of the loss OF
the steamer will soon be cleared up by the land
ing at some port of members of her crew.
A vessel which passed Deal today signaled
that she had on board eleven shipwrecked
people, and the White Star officials say there
is a strong probability that they are part OF the
crew of the Naronc.
The arrival Of this vessel is eagerly awaited,
as should the shipwrecked people on board be
from the Naronic all conjecture as to the causes
that led to the laundering Of the steamer will
be removed

vailed at the stock exchange at the opening OF
business this morning. American sugar sold ND
to l04 and New England to s7ss. = gain Of per
cent and II per cent respectively.
Soon after 10 o'clock the market developed
weakness, owing to an advance in the posted
rates Of sterling exchange to ass and ass which
led to talk about gold exports. The shipments
by the Lain tomorrow will amount TO only

ton is based on an old order.

1917 to 165 on hight offerings. The demand
was due to the belief that the company
will obtain important privileges for the
extension OF the system. The general list Was
feverish for 8 time, but became strong in sym-
pathy with the rise in Manhattan. Sugar and
Chicago gas were active. the former sold up to
