Strange Meeting of "a Long-Sepn raj ted
Uncle nnd Nephew.
The story Of a meeting in midocean
between an uncle and nephew who had
not seen each other for years was told
by Capt Coombs. Of the American bark
Essex, which arrived in this port the
other day, says the Philadelphia Press.
The Essex had on board the captain and
crew Of the British ship Aeronaut. from
Santa Fe, an Argentine Republic port,
about COO mikes up the Rio de In Plata.
The Aeronaut was lumber laden. and
shortly after leaving the mouth Of the
liver encountered astorm, during
she was dismasted. The helpless vessel
shortly afterward sprung leak. and
it was not long before she became wa.
ter logged. While in this condition the
ship Annie Burrill from Buenos Ayres
10 New Orleans, fell in with the help
less hulk, and took Off her crew. A few
days later the Essex was met and the
Aeronaut's people were transferred tc
her. When he stepped on the deck OF
the Essex Capt. Henry Fancy, of tho
Aeronaut, thought he recognized th,
skipper. a closer look convinced him
that he was not at fault, and, stepping
forward, he said:
How are you, uncle2"
Capt. Coombs was much surprised, IA
he had no recollection Of ever havinl
seen the speaker. He asked his naml
and when told that the man he WA
taking into port was Henry Fancy, hi
sisters son, he was overioyed. He has
not seen Capt. Fancy since the lattel
was a small how.

Washington, June 25-The officials OF
the French embassy here refuse to inn
part information concerning any con-
