MILKMAN TOOK THE WINE
Being the Story of How the Holiday
Spirit Caused the Loss of
Bottle From Porch

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.--Presdent Ed
ward c. Brown of the Bayonne, N. j.
board of trade solved yesterday the
mystery of the bottle of champagne
which disappeared from the rear porch
of his residence on West Thirty-fourth
street several evenings ago. 1t was
the milkman who got it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown gave a recep-
ton in honor of the twelfth anniversary
of their marriage. A case of cham
payne was among the things provided.
The ice supply became exhausted and
three quarts of wine were placed on
the porch to cool.
The servants served two of these
bottles and forgot the third. 1t was
on the porch at daylight when the
milkman arrived. He supposed it had
been put there for him and left an
extra bottle of milk as return gift.
The milkman called yesterday at the
Brown home to collect. When Mrs
Brown glanced at the bill she said:
You haven't charged me enough.
You know there was an extra bottle
of milk this week."
"Oh. the bill is all right" the milk
man said You know that quart bot
tie of champagne you left out for my
New Years? Well, the bottle of milk
was my gift"
Dear me, had quite forgotten
that" Mrs, Brown said.
Hereafter the Browns will cool their
wine indoors or chain it on the porch.

about o'clock yesterday morning"
said Captain Gibbs. AT that time we
could see nothing of the Valencia.
There was a thick fog hanging over the
straits and nothing but the white foam
OF the breakers could be seen from our
decks
The City of Topeka steamed to
about three-quarters of a mile from

sixty in the Rigging

eve spoke the steamer Queen and
were informed that about Q o'clock
there were estimated 10 be about sixty
persons still clinging to the rigging of
the Valencia.
1.-THE City of Topeka then cruised
about the entrance of the straits in
the hope of finding survivors. At 1880
we picked up the raft.
THE condition of the survivors was
deplorable All were so numbed that
they could not get on their feet and had
to be hauled aboard the Topeka in the
arms of our crew.
1.-THE survivors informed me that the
officers of the Valencia did all they
could to impress upon their minds the
fact that there would be but little
chance for help after the last boats
had gone. Still the women refused to
take to the life RATS, and. as conse-
quence, men took their places. That
was one of the first questions l asked
those on the raft when they came
aboard the City of Topeka. All stated
that the best of order prevailed and
the men showed every courtesy to the
women.
when the time came for the life
boats to leave the Valencia yesterday
the officers ordered all the women to
take to the RATS. The survivors state
that In spite Of the fact that the Va.
lencia was beginning TO break up. the
women refused to go on the life RATS

who were picked up from life raft
by the steamer City of Topeka are of
the opinion that Captain o. NJ. john
son, master of the Valencia, made no
effort to save his own life, even were
a chance presented. According to their
story Captain Johnson was heart brok-
EN- over the great loss of life attending
the loss of the Valencia.
With tense, drawn face Captain
Johnson, clinging to the rigging with
the passengers, thought only of those
with him, and time and again prayed
for assistance.
my God, send relief to my pasSen-
gers" Captain johnson was heard to
say yesterday just before the life RATS
left the steamer.
Passengers and crew during the night
prior to the departure of the life RATS,
tain Johnson to place life belt about
to do. In spite of the fact that those
near him, and who still thought of him
in a kindly light. begged him to think
of his family and friends, Captain
Johnson would not do a single thing
to help his condition.
According to these survivors. about
thirty persons left the wreck Wednes-
day morning in the two life RATS and

that he might be locked up while they
were being made.
The officer returned from downstairs

was to obey so he started down the
