MAURITANIA FOG-BOUND.
Big Liner Nowhere Near the Ocean
Record.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 22.-A wireless
message received here at 1885 am. says
that prospects do not look good for the
Mauretania going into the harbor today.
She needs high tide to cross the Sandy
Hook bar. It was high tide at o'clock
this morning and the tide has been falling
since Captains of the big liners do not
care to bring in their vessels when the
tide is falling
It will be high tide about $50 pm.
Soon after leaving Queenstown last Sun
day morning the big steamer ran into
severe storm, which lasted the better
part of three days. Terrific head seas and
high gales >retarded the splendid speed of
the vessel and by the time these cond1
tions changed 1t was known by means of
wireless telegraphy that the westward
record of her sister ship. the Lusitania.
could not be eclipsed on this trip. How
ever the steamer was put to top speed.
and some balm was offered to those on
board when the steamers run for the
fourth day showed 624 knots, thus top
ping the Lusitania which took the blue
| ribbon for the best days run on the last
voyage, by six knots. 1t was believed
then that the Mauritania would reach
this hope was shattered when the steam
r ran into a dense fog off the New
| England coast, late last night. and speed
necessarily had to be materially reduced
If the Mauritania actually reaches the
lightship at $50, as estimated. her time
for the voyage would be five days, three
hours and thirty minutes. This is about
nine hours slower than the Lusitania's
best record Of four days, eighteen hours
and forty minutes.

Gated suicide. but there are said to be
suspicious circumstances about the case
which would indicate foul play.
The theory of foul play is based upon
the fact that witnesses tell of young
man who has been seen prowling about
the roads and woods of this section at
night II was thought he was waiting to
meet some one. That such a meeting
might have occurred with fatal result is
the theory of those who do not believe
the young man committed suicide.
