fairs At that time the sale of the publica-
ton being contemplated. Mr.. Hewett says
he executed bill of sale to William Tower,
relative of Mr.. Lapham. The court is IN

WRECK SURVIVORS REACH PORT
Rescued by Steamer After Fatal Ex-
plosion ON Ship.

NEW YORK. January 1o.-Seven sur
Nivors OF the Inflated Norwegian ship Mar
pesia. which was wrecked at sea on Christ
mas day by an explosion of naphtha. re-
sClting in the death OF eleven members of
her crew. arrived here today on the
steamer Trinidad. from Bermuda.
Ihey had been rescued by the Danish
steamer Gallia. which happened by ius; a,
the moment when the Marpesia was blown
INTO shapeless mass, and the seven men
who survived the shock were taken from,
the sea. where they had sought the only
refuge that remained to them after the cx-
pioslon They were landed at Bermuda by
the Gailia. which was bound from Ham
burg for Savannah
The Marpesia sailed from New York for
Cette, France. on December s. with a cargo
OF naphtha, and had been out only day or
TWO when her troubles began One gale
succeeded another. but all were weathered
In safety and without much damage until
December II. On that day the shin was
battered and knocked about in a merciless
manner. Her ventilators were carried a way
at the decks. her hold began to MI, and
soon the cargo of cases of naphtha began to
wash back and forth with every rnovement
Of the vessel
Soon the cases began TO give way under
the strain. and In little while the freed
naphtha was floating around on top of the
water in the hold. Gas from the fluid ac-
cumulated steadily. and by Christmas day
the Marpesia was a loaded bomb needing
only the slightest spark to blow the whole
structure TO atoms.
How the spark reached the highly charg-
ed hold never will be known. but suddenly
there came a terrific report, the forward
deck shot up into the air with crash and
roar, and in a moment the entire ship
was wrapped in flames. Those of the
eighteen men on board who had not been
caught in the first burst threw themselves
over the side of the flaming ship into the
sea.
They were only seven. and the seven
would have followed their companions TO
an early death had not the Gallia. which
CHANGED to be In the vicinity came down
quickly to their aid when she saw the
