sinking, many months ago while bound
from Jacksonville for Philadelphia, is still

brought a few days ago to Baltimore ~
Capt. Tomaus of the Italian bark Batenin
Accanie from Genoa. He saw the White
in latitude 81 80 north, longitude 26.43 west.
Probably never before in the history OF
navigation has a derelict remained a1oat

sells. Her wanderings have extended over
thousands of miles.
On May 20 she was within 600 miles of
the coast of Africa. although when aban-
doned Dec. she was near New York. Her
drift has been due east and scientists are

again and again by incoming captains,
