Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-02-12

ous announs ament was posted on tho cut side of the Cumpahy pier that she would not leave quarantine until this morning that the anxious watchers slowly went to their homes
 The re oic;ng was naturally greatest in the French 1uafter, Tho heroism of a Gascognos S captain was lauded, the suffer ings of her passengers, the probabilities of numerous accidents. were all enumerat q over md over again. but the one great feeling was tEat of joy at what was con sidered by all as nothing less than mira cle.
 Joy In the French Quarter.
 At the Hotel Martin, the well known French resort, the guests in the dining rooms and tho corridors spoke of nothing else Some of La Gascogne's passengers were known to many of them. Two of them-M Xavier end M. Ribon-were guests of the hotel two years ago and are we'll remembered by its staff and its frs- quenters
 The unvarying statement from the lips of all was: ''Wo know La Gascogne would arrive sa:e. We never gave up hope"
 At the French club the news enlivened 0 moody lot of clubmen who had given the steamer up for lost and were expressing their belief that no word would ever be received of her. when their gloom was dis pelled by the welcome dispatch announce ing that ere morn she would be in harhor.
 What happened at the Hotel Martin and in the French quarter was repeated throughout the city. As no word had reached either the French line or the news papers as to what had caused the delay in La Gascogne's making port, conjecture was rife to tho nature of the accident | which befell her
 Several hundred telegrams were sent by the officials of the line to friends and rela- tives of the passengers, and they were kept busy until very near midnight in re- plying to the questions showcred upon | them from all over the world as to whether | the good news was true or not. The steamship Bolivia from Rotterdam, was seen in company with Ia Gascogne | when she passed Fire island. She quickly | left the disabled liner astern and crossed | the bar at 10 o'clock.
 On reaching quarantine she was boarded | by Health Officer Doty. Her captain re- ported that he had profTered La Gascogne | assistano O. but his o:fcr was refused. She appeared when the Bolivia passed her to be at anchor and seemed to have some | thing wrong With her steering gear. Close by her was the Washington. Q tank vessel. which also offered to render assistance The offer was declined. as had been that of tho Bolivia. and the Washing l ton reluctantly resumed her course for l New York
 | Three tug, were sent to La Gascognc's s 1 help She arrived at quarantine before midnight. Health Officer Doty said that he would not make his inspection of Ia l GascOgne until today
 Agent Fora ct and Superintendent West left the city at a lato hour last night for quarantine and returned on board the steamer.
