DERELIcTs IN The ATLANTIC.
One Wreck That Has Been Floating
Around for NearIy Three Years.

One Wreck That Has Been Floating
Around for Nearly Three Years.
The report that the famous derelict,
the Fannie F. Wolston, has been
sighted again, this time about ESQ
miles east of Norfolk. awakens fresh
interest in the champion and record
breaker among existing wanderers on
the sea. This schooner Of Bath, Ne,
was wrecked more than two years
and eight months ago, and has ever
since drifted in the Atlantic, making
a total course of many thousands of
miles. About two months ago she
was sighted not very far apparen tly
from her present position, but the in
dications are said to be that, as she is
now on the eastern edge of the gulf
stream, she may float with it up to
the transatlantic steamer line, and
so be a still greater peril TO naviga-
ton.
The history of that vessel alone
would form sufficient argument for
carrying out promptly the proposed
system of international police for the
destruction of dangerous derelicts.
It was shown by the commissioner of
navigation in his last report that in a
period of five years there had been
1872 known derelicts on the Atlantic
coast of North America. besides 625
wrecks whose tracks were not marked.
On the pilot chart for one month
alone forty-five derclicts still afoat
were marked, of which more than
half appeared to be IN the path Of the
transatlantic steamers Of course
many have a short career, as they
speedily break up or sink, but the ex-
perience of the Wo1ston shows how
persistent is the peril in some cases,
for She is only one of a large number
known to keep awash for years.
