.SCUTTLED THE SHIP
Some Light Thrown on the
Loss of the President
in IS4f.
WAS CAPTURED BY PIRATES
Passengers All Walked the
Plank and the Ship Was
Sunk.

NEW York, Feb 28.-A special to
The World from London says: While
La Goscogne was still unreported ON her
recent memorable Voyages the Duke of
Newcastle wrote letter to a London
newspaper to the effect that when he
was In America in 1883, gentleman in
formed him that two or three years pre-
viously an old sailor ON his death bed
had confessed to having formed one OF
the crew of pirate vessel which cap
tured the Atlantic liner, the President,
which sailed from New York in 1S4l,
and was never heard from again.
The Duke of Newcastle said that the
gentleman had quoted the sailor as con
Tossing that the pirate overhauled and
captured the President; that every soul
on board was made to walk the plank,
and that the liner was afterwards scut.
tied.
The duke has been absent from Lon
don since the publication of this letter,
but when he returned and received the
correspondent at his town residence, he
showed the utmost desire to clear the
matter mp. "...
Could Add Little.
II am very sorry" I" he said, 'that
can add little to my published letter.
Unfortunately cannot even remember
the name of my informant. except that
he had been consul or minister tc
Persia. met him at lunch in Chicago
in 1888. He told me the story in the
general conversation about the table,
and it made lasting impression ON my
mind. OF course / cannot vouch for
the story in any way, but the gentle,
man who mentioned it, seemed to be
convinced as to its truth. AS remem.
ber, the port at which the confession
was made was New Orleans, which,
perhaps, may furnish some clue.
'"Now that the matter VIII be referred
to, perhaps my informant viii come
forward with full statement of the
facts if he is still alive
"Of course an act of piracy of that
kind was quite possible in those days
and especially in the case of the Presi
dent, which was under renamed. y
