was apparently based on the statements
OF Turkish officials. denounces the activ-

places along the frontier. the formation

He called attention TO the enormous

BRIG SMALL
SINKS
SUDDENLY
Bow Goes Down In so Feet Of
Water While the Stern Is High
on a Sand Bar.

Misfortune seems to still follow the
brig d. A. Small. II was only a few
weeks ago that the vessel was sold by
the United States government having been
conhscated for violation Of emigration
laws and now she has gone down In 30
feet Of water on the East Providence side
OF the river near the dry dock
After she had been sold at auction the
vessel. with her companion In disgrace
the Unique. was taken to the East Provt-
dence side of the river for the purpose
OF being fitted out again for trade with
the Azores. To outward appearances af-
fairs were moving smoothly and the
prospects were that the vessel would
resume traffic about the 1st OF October.
No one on board OF her noticed ten
dency to leaking in any part OF the
craft till this morning when all OF sud
den. with barely a moments warning the
whole bottom of the ship seemed TO open
to let in the sea
For a few moments attempts were made
to man the pumps and remove the water
as IL poured I'm but all effort was without
avail. and those employed upon the ves-
sci were forced TO take to the boats or
go down with the craft When the ves-
sci finally settled her bow lay In list
ed condition some 30 feet below the sur
face, while her stern showed high and
dry upon the bank. AS seen now she
presents a peculiar spectacle with only
about one-third of her hull out OF the
water and almost on her side. The vessel
had just been measured for a new set
o. sails and the canvass was to be taken
aboard in few days. 1t is not definitely
known how much damage has been done
to the bottom of the vessel but from the
velocity OF the rushing waters and its
volume all the caulidng must have been
forced out OF the seams or the whole
of 1t fallen apart
