Steamer La Gascogne Eight
Days Overdue.
csranged Machinery Believed to Be
the Cause Of Delay.
Hope Has Not Been Abandoned That
the Vessel is Safe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The French line
steamer La Gascogne is eight days over
due today, and steamers that reached
port this morning all report
having seen nothing of the missing
vessel. La Normandie, a sister ship of
LaGascogn anchored outside Sandy Hook
light ship at lao this morning, and, in
response to signals, announced that she
had not sighted La Gascogne during
her voyage. La Normandie passed in at
Sandy Hook at 7:4s this morning and
reached quarantine about an hour later.
The Maasdam, from Rotterdam, and the
Dania, from Hamburg, both have the
same story to tell" Nothing of La Cas-
cogne."
The non-arrival here OF La Gascogne,
and the fact that she has not been sighted
in the regular track OF steamers, both
westward aud eastward bound, seems
to be conclusive proof that her
passage Is hampered by deranged machin-
cry and that she has drifted or has been
blown far out of her course. As the
winds which have prevailed recently
have been mostly from the northwest the
probability is that her course would be
toward the Azores, although there is a
possibility that she may be heard from at
Bermuda
Notwithstanding that she is long over
due, the hope has not been abandoned
that La Gascogne will soon be heard
from.
Agent Forget now hopes that one OF the
steamers now due from Gibraltar may
bring news Of La Gascogne. These steam
ers are the Alsatia, Valencia, st. Oswald,
Bolivia and Letiniso.
Mr.. Forget is building great hopes on
the Normannia, which is due to arrive at
this port some time during the night.
She may have seen La Gascogne or
heard from her at the Azores.
The cable between the islands
and Lisbon is now in working condition
and word may come from there at any
time. 1t is believed by Mr.. Forget that
La Gascogne must have broken down on
the third day out, for il she had been
disabled later she would have been
so far advanced on her journey
that she would have been seen by some of
the many steamships which have arrived
at this port today and yesterday as well as
during last week. On or about
January 20 she would have been at
about the point where the Gulf
Stream divides, and would at the
same time have met the northwesterly
gales which would have sent her to the
southwark and into the southern half of
the Gulf Stream which would have caused
her to drift to the Azores. She would then
be out of the track Of all of the steam
ships except those from the Mediterra-
mean, and might be heard from almost
any day now. The ship is well provis-
ioned, and could remain out for at least
two months without danger to her pas
sengers.
To Search for La Gascogne.
ST. JOINS N. f., Feb. 1.-THE regular
mail steamer Grand Lake will leave here
tomorrow for Halifax. She has been in
structed TO go as far south as Sable Island
to ascertain If the missing French steamer
La Gascogne is or has been in that VIZ
cinity.

A SHIPWRECKED CREW
Give An Account of Their Thrilling Ex-
perience and Rescue.

The mate, cook and crew Of tht
wrecked schooner B. H. Jones came
through from Boston yesterday, where
they were brought from Provincetown,
Mass, after the vessel was wrecked on
Monday last.
Mate Dunbar thus told the thrilling
experiences of his party:
"We sailed from New York Friday,
with a cargo of 763 tons of coal for Port
land. The Jones was a good schooner.
She had been owned in New York, but
was bought by 1homaston people and
had $4,000 spent on her short time ago,
so that she ought to have been in good
condition. We ran into Vineyard Haven
Saturday night, and Sunday put out
again. Fearing it might blow from the
We could run into Provincetown for
shelter if it came up blow. About
midnight went below, leaving the cap.
tain on deck. Coming across the Shoals
we had to reef our mainsail, it had come
up SO fresh. Wien l went below it was
blowing so that we had taken in every
thing except our mainsail and jib.
When had been below about an hour
and half, heard the captain tell one
of the men that side light had gone
him call out: Take care that you do not
roll off to leeward.' Then the vessel
made plunge, andaI heard the captain
yell. I was afraid that man mad gone
overheard, and / rushed on deck The
masts went over the side and the main
mast grazed the shoulder of Tine, while
the rigging, shot by him on the other
side. Purse was most caught and the
captain had narrow escape. I do not
see how I got out alive. The jibboom
had gone and that let down the stays SO
that the masts went by the board. /
ran forward and found that the bowsprit
was all gone except for foot orsso. We
cannot see how the accident happened
unless it is that the Jones put her nose
into the water and when she lifted it
took out her bowsprit.
"That was about 2 O'Clock Monday
morning, twenty-five miles ssouth OF
Thatcher's Island. AT O'Clock the
Gypsum Prince came up and her crew
got US off. Within fifteen minutes no boat
could have lived in the sea. do not see
yet how we were saved. 1t began to
snow and blow soon after SO that not one
of US would have been taken off alive il
the big schooner had not come up just in
the nick of time"
"Yes, said tall Frank Tine, there are
not many captains that would have put
boat out in such asssea. tell you, Mr..
Bezauon, the mate who took US off and
his crew are brave men. The sea was
awful then. just a little while, not
fifteen minutes after we were taken off,
the sea was breaking over the Jones. I
do not think she could have lived long
after we left her.n
These are the names of the crsw:
William Dunbar, Thomaston, mate;
Horace Simmons, South WaIdoboro,
cook; Frank W. Tine, a German resident
in New York; Charles H. Purse of Phila-
delpha, and Lewis Wart of Thomaston,
able seamen. Capt. Whittemore was left
in Provincetown, where he had taken a
tug and gone to try and find the Jones.
