ing had been heard of the expedition since
their steamer, the Ragnvald JarI,' left
Danes Island.
The Saide started on search for her
but found all the routes blocked by ice.
The yacht met an experienced walrus hunt
er, Capt. JohaneSen, coming from the north
west. 1t was his opinion that the Ragnvald
Jarl had been beSet by ice and crushed.
Other hunters were met but none of them
had seen the steamer east of Nerlegen Hook.

alarm was felt here Gen. Greedy remarAe |:
Alarming reports are common Coz, Germ

as to the safety of Wellman and his party"
But all doubt was set at rest on August
last. when news was received from from

the ice pack, had been crushed on the ice

Capt. Bottolfsen, Winship. HyerfaH,.

Wednesdays Observation-Disclosures Race
Awaited With Interest.

The New York Herald's European edition
publishes the following from its correspond
emit:
COWES, August H. 1S94-The exact date
of the dinner which is to be rendered by
the members of the Royal Yacht squadron
to the visiting American yachtsmen here
had. as late as this afternoon, not been
definitely settled. 1t will be either Tuesday
or Wednesday next, the exact night de-
pending somewhat on the other engage
ments of the Prince of Wales.
The news that terms for a match for
Lord Wolverton's cup, fifteen miles to wind
ward and return, have been finally settled
between the Prince of Wales and Mr..
Gould has been received with no little salts
faction on all sides. Some hasty remarks
have been passed by English yachtsmen
on what, owing to various false reports,
seemed something like a backdown on the
part of the Vigiants owner.
These, of course, must now be with
drawn. as Mr.. Gould not only cheerfully
signed the conditions, in the drawing up
of which he had little part, burt he never,
indeed, hesita ted to declare his Willingness
to race as soon as his boat was out of the
riggerS' hands, even guaranteeing that by
tonight the actual work would be finished.
1t would, according to Capt. Half, be
sheer folly to race before the new stay had
been tested under sail.
There is one well-known English yachts
man who shakes his head at the chorus of
approval of the forthcoming match. fbis
is Admiral Montagu, owner of the Carina,
winner of the queens cup last week, aud a
stanch admirer of the 'Vigilant.
Il think" he said to me, that II is use
less to sail these matches to which undue
Importance is attached by the outside pub
lic Between this date and the. 6ndrsOf the
season, If the Vigilant only sails in the
regular regatta races for which he entered
her, Mr.. Gould will have demonstrated, as
he can by no special match, with all its
Unforeseen chances. the virtues and the
failings of the Vigilant. --.-- .s-s -
This, after all, is what true yachtsmen
want to see decided, and I think the real
issue is only clouded by these special trials
under special conditions.
II should like to say, also, that. despite
the ill-natured comments which have seen
in some American papers. Mr.. Gould has
throughout his visit behaved like true
sportsman. He has been as plucky under
defeat as he has been modest in the time
of victory"

NEARLY HANGED BY GEN. BUTLER.
Death of Ex-Chief Engineer Wait Of
the Navy.

George w. Wait weil-known marine
engineer, died on Saturday at his home in
Brooklyn. He was sixty-eieht years old
and a native of Scotland. In the war he
was chief engineer of the United States
man-of-war Monticello, commanded by
Commander, now Rear Admiral, Braine.
He supervised the cutting of the chains
across the Mississippi river, which obstruct-
lombard New Orleans.
After the city was taken Gen. Butler or
dered Commander Braine to take the Mon
ticello down the river as a transport for
troops. The vessel had been disabled In the
fight, and word was sent back that she
could not go.
Gen. Butler ordered Commander Braine
and Engineer Wait to be strung up at the
yardGrm. While preparations were making
for this Gen. Butler went on board the ves-
sci and, going up to Wait, asked him why
he had not obeyed the order. Wait replied
that to do so would imperil the life of every
man on board, as the vessel had been badly
disabled.
Gen. Butler then asked bow lorg Il would
take to make repairs, and was told about
forty-eight hours. He then ordered repairs
to be made, and said that II the vessel was
not under way In the specified time the en-
gineer would swing from the yardarm. The
vessel was MADE ready and started on time.
In recent years Engineer Wait was chief
engineer of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. His funeral took place last
evening.

Medals of Honor Awarded.

The President has awarded a medal OF
honor to Edwin Leonard, late sergeant,
company /, thirty-seventh Massachusetts
volunteers, for distinguished gallantry in
action near Petersburgh, Va, June Is. 1864.
This officer was in a skirmish line, when.
through some misunderstanding, heavy
fire was opened upon 1t by a Union brigade
in the rear. Bravely responding to the call
for volunteer, Leonard made his way up
the slope across a plowed field, exposed all
the way to the bullets of both armies, and
averted the fire of the brigade.
medal of honor has also been awarded
to Joel Parsons, late private, company b,
fourth Virginia volunteer infantry, for most
distinguished gallantry in action at Vicks-
burg, Miss, May %, 1863.

STEAMER WAS IN DANGER.
The Champagne barely Escapes Rum
ming Down Norwegian Bark.

The steamer Champagne Of the French
line. bound to New York, narrowly escaped
collision with an unknown Norwegian
bark of the banks of Newfoundland last
thursday afternoon. BY quick and clever
naneuvering Capt. Laurent ayerted what
might have been serious accident
The Champagne, one of the best steamers
OF the French line, left Havre a week ago
last saturday. She had smooth weather
and off the banks of Newfoundland a thick
fog rolled up over her course. There was a
heavy curtain OF mist over the water on
Thursday afternoon, although the weather
was not disagreeable. Most of the pas
seEgers were out on deck. The Champagne
vas vas going at about twelve knots an hour, a
little more than half speed.
The siren of the liner was blowing con-
tihuously, ana two lookOuts were watching
intently for vessels in the fog. The vessel
was twelve miles from Cape Race
The practiced ear Of Capt. Laurent who
was on the bridge, caught the sound of a
Nessels foghorn. He knew that IL must be
a sailing vessel
The sound came from over the starboard
DOW ana was apparently not more than l.5O
yards away. The commander lost no time
he caused che helm TO be put hard abort
ana slgnaled for the engines to be reversed
AS the Champagne moved nearer the pas
sehgers could make out the outlines OF a
Dark heading eastward. The wind was from
the south, and the vessel on the starboard
tack was crossing the steamers bows NOV
ing at a three-knot rate
To the passengers on the Champaene's
deck II seemed that il was only a matter of
a Few seconds before. steamer and bark
would be in collision. The action was
crowded into space of about twenty
seconds, the steamer moving to the star
board astern of the bark missing her nv
twenty or thirty yards
The vessel was a Norwegian bark of about
LOU tons. The steamer had meanwhile al
most lost Roadway. The engines were
started again and a few minutes later the
Champagne was steanning a ttyelvesknot
rate for New York. Many of the passengers
We're thrown into state of frenzied ex-

which they had undergone :.
