lately and il is now the best hotel
for the price that can be found any

this fact. Another new feature is
the addition of the European plan.
A very popular departure has al
so been recently made in providing
a private dining room on the sec

narrowing scenes were witnessed to-day
at the London office of the Atlantic Trans
port Company, to which the wrecked
steamer Mohegan belonged. A number of
women tainted there when the extent of
eue calamity bcame known, and there was
d constant stream of telegraph boys run
nlng TO and from the office seeking for
Information or taking messages to anx-
ious inquirers.
me Mohegan, 1t Is now said, has been
an Inflated vessel from the start 1t Is
added that she was only bought hv the
Transport Company when their own WV
poats had been sold to the United States
government during the war. She was
IOrmefly the Cleopatra of the Wilson and
purhess-Leyland Line, and was bought di
rest from the Hull ship yards. She never
ran from the Furuess line and only made
que voyage out and home. This, il Is as
serted, was most unsuccessful and the
friends of the crew saw her engines were
ueIectlVe and that her boilers leaked. She
IS lurther alleged TO have arrived at New
1ofk IN such a condition that she was
sent nome empty and her return voyage
TOOK several weeks, during which she
dritted a whole day and night, owing to
the trouble with her engines. For the
past TWO weeks the steamer has been In
dock undergoing repairs, but the mana
gers say she was in perfect condition
when she left port on this, her first voy-
age, under her new name. 1t is asserted
however, that in a A-hour trial last
week her performances were very unsat-
lstactory and the crew did not wish to
go on her ON account of the previous de-
tect in her engines 1t is surrnised here
that her engines broke down and that
the vessel, in the rough sea and heavy
gale which prevailed, drifted on the rocks.
The wrecked steamer was commanded
by Capt. Griffiths. Her chief officer was
Mr.. Couch, her second officer. Mr.. Cole,
and her third officer Mr. Hindmarsh.
Capt. Griff1ths, who is missing, was
formerly captain of the Manitoba and
then captain of the Minnewaska, which
was sold TO the United States government
for use as transport during the war
with Spain.
