GREGORY HAD
STORMY TIME.
Detailed Account of the Trip
Down the Coast In New Eng-
land Waters.

Lewis Nixon's high speed motor
yacht Gregory, which sailed from this
port in January ., bound across the
Atlantic to meet her owner at port
in the Mediterranean, as loid in tn
Evening News at that time, became
disabled at sea. After fierce battle
with the elements she was forced TO
seek the haIbor of Westport Mass. +,
where she now lies, being repaired.
Her owner, Lewis Nixon, believing
that the boat, with her powerful en-
Riuts, would make a quick passage
across the Atlantic, sailed on Satur-
dav of the same week on the steam
ship Deutschland, for Naples, where
he arrived last Sunday. He proceeded
to Paris.
The Gregory, in command of Cap
tain August Loose, an experienced
navigator, passed out by Sandy Hook
at 215 p. m. on January D. There
was light breeze frcm the west, and
little indication, at that time, of the
terrific gale that was soon encountered.
Captain Loose shaped a course down
the coast, and well of shore, for the
plan was 10 make call at Charleston,

across 10 the eastward along parallel
of latitude where storms were least

Chief Engineer Philip Adams and
his force kept the Gregory going al
good speed that day. At midnight il
was almost calm, but there was {
swell coming from the southeast, anr
the barometer fell, presaging the gale
which began the next morning with
rain squalls and strong breezes from
that quarter. The yacht is fitted will

Armenian Massscres.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The State De.
partment has made public portions OF
a report recently made by Mr.. Thomas
Norton, American consul at Harput,
Turkey, on the results of a tour of in
ycstigation made by him under instruc.
tions from the department through the
vilayets of Bitlis and Van, which were
the scenes during several months last
summer of repeated attacks upon and
masacres of Armc nian Christians by
the Kurds and other Moslem popula.
tion. These disturbances. attended by
friehtful atrocities, and savage cruelty
resulted in death suffering and des.
titution. No Americans were known
to have been injured.
DIR. Norton says that Mush is prac.
tically an armed camp, where Arme.
mans are in constant terror. He esti.
mates that in the Sassun district 5000
lives were lost in last summers massa.
ere. including 2.77l children.
One salient fact. says the consul, is
that the benevolencc of the citizens of
the United States has accomplished
more than the efforts of other nations
combined in advancing the moral and
intellectual welfare of the Armcnians
and other classes in the interior prov.
inces.
