the large barges that was taking on load
of pine lumber broke from her moorings and
was last seen adrift on the river when night
fell. Next morning a search was made for
the vessel, but no trace of 1t could be found.
1t had evidently sprung a leak and sunk in
water deep enough to completely hide it
from sight. but where is the question steam
boat masters whose vessels ply the river are
very anxious about, as their boats may at
any time strike the wreck and do serious
harm. 1t is stated that the War Department
officials Will be called upon to locate the
wreck. Meanwhile vessels engaged in navi-
eating the Rappahannock, 1t is stated, are
travelling with caution. expecting at any
time to foul the sunken barge.

FRAGMENT OF THE NATALIE.
Relic of the Vessel on Which Napo-
leon Escaped From Elba.

Secretary Bonaparte has received from
Mr.. Edwin A Sherman secretary of the
Sloat Monument Association of Oakland,
Cal, a fragment of wood from the vessel
Natalie. and letter giving the history of
that vessel which is of considerable interest
MIR. Sherman states that the Natalie, the
vessel upon which Napoleon Bonaparte
made his escape from the Island of Elba to
France, later made its way to the Pacific
ocean, and was purchased by the Mexican
government and used as a revenue cutter
or coast guard ship. She first arrived at
Monterey, Cal. in 1884. and In 1913 while
her officers were ashore attending ball,
the crew also concluded that they would
go ashore and have a good time as well.
A strong northwest gale sprang up, the
Natalie dragged her anchor and was driven
ashore, becoming total wreck Fragments
of the vessel are still preserved, one of
which was forwarded by Mr.. Sherman, and
Is In an excellent state of preservation.
Mr. Sherman also states that the late
Rear Admiral John Drake Sloat, U. s. NJ
while lieutenant and on a furlough from
March 16, 1915, engaged in commerce in
command of the clipper schooner Transit
on a voyage to France. During his pres
ence al Nantes he arranged with some of
Napoleon's friends to receive the emperor
on board with his suite and transport him
10 the United States. The plan however
fell through. Mr. Sherman also advised
the Secretary Of the celebration of the six
tieth anniversary of raising the American
flag at Monterey on July next, and ex-
extended the Secretary an invitation to the
present on that occasion.
