MESSENGER MIX'S STATEMENT.
At the request of World reporter Mr..
Mix, representative of the Thomson
Houston Electrical company, one OF the
cabin passengers, hastily wrote out
the following statement which he threw
aboard the World tug:
ITO the Editor of the World All
went well until Jan. 20, three days after
sailing from Havre, when the ship was
stopped, and the passengers on in
quiry as to the cause, were informed
that a part Of the machinery had
broken down. The information was a
surprise to the passengers who were
unaware at the time that an accident
had occurred. There had been no
shock or noise sufficient to cause alarm
The passengers had noticed a commo-
ton among the crew and officers con-
seouent upon the breakdown, and
when inquiries were made by the pas
sengers the officers made no attempt
to conceal the true facts.
1--WE learned that the piston of one of
the intermediate cylinders had broken,
thus incapacitaTing the entire machin-
cry. The engine had been stopped as
soon as possible and the steamer fell
off into the trough Of the sea, which
was not heavy at the time. The pas
sengers were quite cool, and had no
apprehension of danger. In fact, We
were not at first distressed by the
knowledge of the accident. None of
us realized that the breakdown was
more than an ordinary affair." and
many of US began speculating howlong
a time would eIapse before the engi-
neers got the break patched up and
we would be again ON our course. We
LAY TO FOR SIXTEEN HOURS
while the full corps of engineers
worked on the fractured cylinder A
brass sleeve was slipped over the
fracture and bolted over in position,
and in this way the engineers were en-
abled to again start up the engines
'The broken cylinder and it's COM
panion could not be used, however,
and as steam was cut off from the
boiler of the engines the speed was re-
dTced one-half. Even at this rate we
were further handicapped by being
compelled to stop every twelve hours

strangers in Denver. His features
became distorted, his face grew
black, and his anger was some
thing terrible. He said to me, If
you ever again say that word
hang 1 will kill YOU
During this recital the prisoner
turned deathly pale. He leaned for
and rapid. The perspiration oozed
from his white skin, and his eyes
rolled like maniac'S. If at this
moment the insanity experts had di-
rected their attention to him they
might have found the symptoms
which they appeared to be looking
for in vain in the elder brother.
Mrs. Hayward was visibly affected,
and did not lift her eyes from the
floor while Adry was speaking.
Adry then told of his fears for
Harrys reason if he kept on gam
bling, and said that he acted like an
insane man while standing over him
in a threatening manner.
"Well, now, Adry," said Mr. Erwin,
don't you think this whole story is
a dream. Are you sure that it ever
occurred at all. Is it not something
which has come up in your mind of
itself? Think of the scene you de-
scribed in your fathers office when
you say Harry told you all of these
terrible things. Is it not all q dream +?
Can you be certain that it really
transpired? What would you say if
I should prove to you that no such
thing ever occurred?'
The witness was greatly aston
ished at. this, and answered almost
pathetically: Mr. Erwin, l wish 1
could say it was a dream. I would
like to think so. But [ cannot. 1t
is terrible reality, and if 1 live
thirty years more, it will be as clear
to me as it is at this hour

Of the safe arrival of La Gascogne was
received in this city with sincere ex-
pressions of joy and gratefulness. Sew
eral Washingtonians were believed to
be aboard, but the interest in her fate
was by no means confined to their
friends and acquaintances. Hun
dreds of people who had no connection
of their own in the matter have seemed
to take a true personal interest In
her destiny. For the past three days,
numberless indquiries have been made
of the Associated Press for news on
the subject and many prominent peo-
pile have specially requested that they
De notified as soon as La Gascogne was
beard from. The bulletin stating that
she had been sighted was circulated
with great rapidity throughout the city
and everywhere was the topic of con-
wersation and congratulations.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Not since the
Umbria was reported two years ago
after a periious voyage across the At
lantic 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 steam
er resembling the long missing La
Gascogne had been sighted off Fira
island, the inference that the French
liner was safe did not for some tins
reassure the generally incredulouS
public It was too good to be true, and
it was only when the bulletin was an
nounced that La Gascogne was slowly
making her way to her port OF destina-
ton that the long pent-up feelings OF
those who had anxiously waited day
by day for the tidings of the missing
craft broke out. In every hotel, in
every club, in almost every home in
the city the sole topic Of conversation
was the arrival of the ship, the hope
of whose rescue from the terrific
