PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ia telegram
received to-day by the Clyde Line Steamship
Company from the captain of the steamship
Algonquin, which has just arrived from
Jacksonville, has created quite an excite
ment in shipping circles. The captain re-
ports passing the topmasts of two three
masted schooners sunk near the five-fathom
bank light ship, which is just outside the
Delaware capes. One of these vessels is
supposed to be the James Ives, which foun-
dered off that place two weeks ago, but the
identity Of the second craft is mystery.
Judging from the fact that both vessels
were under sail when they went down, the
locality has no doubt been the scene of
recent shpwreck and loss of life. The cap
tain is positive both vessels had three
masts, and neither appeared to have been
long in that condition. There were no signs
of life about them. Neither were there any
lifeboats adrft.
Agent Mcdonald, of the Pennsylvania pi
lots, to-day received a telegram from pilot

GREAT REJOICING.
How the News of La Gascogne's Safe
ty Was Received


NEW YORK, Feb 1.--Not since the I'm
bria was reported two years ago after a
perilous voyage across the Atlantic with a
broken shaft has there been such excitement
in this city as this evening" When the
news was flashed across the wires that a
steamer resembling the long-missing Gas
cogne had been sighted off Fire island the
inference that the French liner was safe
did not for some time reassure the gener-
ally incredulous public. 1t was too good to
be true, and it was only when the bulletin
was announced that La Gascogne was slow
ly making her way to her port of destina-
ton that the long-pent-up feelings of those
who had anxiously watched day by day for
tidings of the missing craft broke out In
every hotel, in every club, in almost every
home in the city the sole topic of conversa-
ton was the arrival of the ship, the hope
of whose rescue from the terrific storms
which have caused such terrible disasters
in the maritime world had almost deserted
the hearts of the most sanguine
In the offices of the French line the scene
when the telegram was received announc-
ing the safety of the big liner was a strik-
ing one. The news spread quickly
through the city. Hundreds of persons be-
sieged the pier of the company, as though
they expected that La Gascogne would in
an hour or two, be moored at her dock.
This crowd was reinforced every moment

feeling was that of joy at what was consin-
cred by all as nothing less than miracle
At the Hotel Martin, the well-known French
resort, the guests in the dining rooms and
the corridors spoke of nothing else. Some

Agent Forget, of the French lire. was at
his office when the news came. For mo-
ment he was rendered speechless, which
evidenced how anxious he had been for
the safety of the steamer. Then he re-
gained himself and became wildly hilarious
He shouted, ran here and there, grasping
the hand of this one and that one and

far as La Gascogne was concerned. 1t was
the Vosburgs business, however, TO speak
every ship that might bear a message from
or Of La Gascogne. Captain Cutler threw
her three points to the southwark, and she
bore down on the eastward light Gradual
ly out of the darkness grew other lights
mere srarks at first, but quickly developing
into defined order. 1t was evident that
big steamer was making for the Hook.
Half an hour after the first glimpse of
light the World men on the Vosburg made
out three red lights at the masthead of the
in-comer. There was joy the Nosburg
then. Then these three red lights spelled al
most La Gascogne." They told story of
a disabled ship and that must mean La
Gascogne. few minutes more and two
masts and two tunnels of La Gascogne were
made out. There was a. hurrah from the
deck of the Vosburg. The lost found.
Surely La Gascegne was at last in sight.

Log of the Disabled vesseI-Great RE-
French Company-Forgct Happy.

A QUARANTINE, S. T., Feb. 12-La Cas-
cogne, the long overdue French steamship,
limped into port last night with three red
lights hanging from her foremast as a
signal that she was disabled. Her passerl-
gers were on deck, some of them singing
and most of them cheering as persons are
wont to do when their minds are suddenly
relieved of a heavy strain. For thirteen
days of a voyage lasting sixteen days the
ship had been disabled, one of her main
piston rods having broken on her third day
out from Havre. For sixteen hours on that
fateful third day the vessel was hove to
while the break was being repaired. 1t was
comparatively good weather when the break
fated to run into some of the nastiest
weather of her voyage. When the break
had been repaired the steamer proceeded
on her way, but under greatly reduced
land. La Gascogne ran into gale that in
creased to hurricane force. While off Sable
island, Feb. 5. the machinery broke down
again and the steamer was hove to again,
this time for forty-one hours. During all
that period the engines did not make
single revolution. When the second repairs
had been made the steamer started ahead
cnce more under still further reduced power
and headed towards the Lond Island coast
1t is remarkable fact that during
the entire voyage across the Atlantic La
Gascogne did not sight steamer until
she passed one bound for Philadelphia
late on Sunday. Late yesterday afternoon
the French steamer signaled Fire island
and then proceeded towards Sandy Hook
light ship. While the passengers were con-
siderably worried on account of the delay
there was never a panic among them.
They knew their ship was stanch one
and they had every confidence in their
captain. And, besides, they knew that the
ship was not totally disabled. But they
were nervous and apprehensve at times
and they hailed the conclusion of their
voyage with joy. They cheered the cap
tain and they cheered the crew. and they
cheered the World tug.

Four Sailor. Probably Lost.

NEW YORK, Feb. n.-After having been
suspended for several days by reason Of the
storm and ice, communication with SWINE
burn island was resumed to-day. Nothing
has been seen or heard on the island of
the four fishermen belonging to the schoon-
er Emma, which drifted ashore in the Ice
the west bank on the night of Feb. z.
The boats crew left the vessel in a vain
attempt to reach Staten island and their
ing members of the schooner's crew, after
a terrible experience, managed to reach the
lighthouse keepers dwelling at Fort Tomp-
kins in an exhausted condition. The Emma
lies on the west bank of Swineburn
island She is completely covered with ice.
