Heartless Conduct Of Passing Vessels
Toward the Disabled Dutch
Steamer La Flandre.
JUST PASSED BY ON THE OTHER SIDE. !"
The Pritish Steamer West Point FL

Queenstown, March 14.-Capt. Cort-
giese, of the Dutch steamer La Elan
DIRE, from Antwerp for Philadelphia,
which was towed into Queenstown
Monday by the British steamer West
Point, which picked her up while on
her way from London TO Philadelphia
with her rudder and stern post car
ried away and with three of her pro-
peller blades gone, the vessel also be-
ing leaky and unmanageable, has
made statement relating his expert
ences. The La Flandre became un-
manageable March 8 and her com
mander bitterly comments on the cal
lousness of the captain of large
French steamer which passed the dis
abled vessel and the failurer of 9TH
ers to assist the La Fandre.
just Like q Frenchmnn.
The first ship sighted was the
French vessel referred to which failed
to respond in any way to the La
Flandre's urgent signals of distress.
On the following day the Red Star
line steamer Friesland, Capt. Nickcls,
which arrived at Antwerp, March 10,
from New York, offered to take of
the crew of La Flandre If they were
prepared to abandon their ship; but
when this was declined the Fresland
proceeded. Then u Wilson line steam
err, bound for Hull, passed La Flandre
and the latter, the captain says, re-
fused to lay by and await better
weather.
HaIf-Hearted Assistance.
The next steamer communicated
with was the Norwegian steamer Liv,
Capt. Rasmussen, from Barry, March
9, for Hampton Roads. She attached
q hawser to La Flandre and began to
tow her in the direction Of st.
Michaels, Azore islands, but the haw-
ser Immediately parted and the Llv
proceeded on her voyage.
The Good Samaritan Appeared.
The worn out crew of La Flandre
were almost in despair when the West
Point was sighted ard towed the dis
abled steamer to Queenstown.

TIE claim has frequently been
made that the prep department here
is merely high school for Morgan
town. Now the enrolment 1t is true
does show great many people to be
enrolled from Morgantown. But this
is due to the influx of families from
all over the state who have come here
to educate their children. Morgantown
takes the younger children Ia charge
and educates them. The prep school
and the University finishes them off.
The enrolment is made to show that
Morgantown is disproportionately rep
resented while in fact it is not. Not
a very large number of young men
who are born and reared here attend
the University very long. Few OF
them finish the course. This is well
known fact. But many are they VINO
do go through and are credited TO
Morgantown. They are not residents
OF the town having been attracted
here solely by the educational adyan-
tages that are afforded. Otherwise
they would not be here. This mis-
take about the prep department
should be rectified BY those who are
making IL.
