SEA FIRE A MYSTERY.
Unidentified Vessel Discovered
Ablaze in Gulf of Mexico.

The identity of the vessel seen on fire
in the Gulf of Mexico by the crew of the
British steamer Glanton is still a mys-
terry. When the report was first made
it was thought in shipping circles to be
the four-masted schooner l.. Herbert
Taft. which sailed from Baltimore Octo-
Der / with a cargo of coal for Galveston.
Reports coming from Sand Key Fla.
state that the Taft passed there at q a m,
October -. SO that the vessel seen by
the Glanton could not have been the Taft.
Capt. Stevenson of the Glanton, at Cal
weston last Saturday, from Para. reported
a heroic attempt to rescue six men in a
boat October II in the Gulf of Mexico.
1t was impossible to save them. and the
Glanton continued to fight for her own
life in the hurricane. Later a vessel was
seen on fire, and il was thought TO be the
Taft. After this report the information
that the Taft was safe came as a sur
prise. Capt. Giles is accompanied by his
daughter. Miss Emma Giles whose love
for the sea has made her the constant
companion of her father on his voyage ).
Efforts are now being made to fix the
identity OF the vessel, but II is Drobabie
that ii will remain one of the mysteries
of the great waters.
