as high as thirty, were killed ana

tween the two forces which ragged IN

Disappearance of
Captain and Grew
Never Was Salts
factorily Explained
TRAGEDY OF OLD OCEAN

AS matter Of fact the Mary Celeste carried no
money of any amount.
AS late as 1897 another yarn was published to
the effect that sailor, who claimed to have
been the mate of the Del Gratia, had made a
death.bed confession in Iquique, saying that when
he boarded the Mary Celeste he found that all
hands, except Captain Briggs, his wife and the
cook, had died of smallpox, and that he, Jacob
Howell the confessor, had thrown all three of
the survivors overheard, taken 5000 in gold that
Mate Richardson had been carrying for the pur-
pose of going into business in Africa" and then
had returned to the Del Gratia with the report
that the Mary Celeste had been found completely
abandoned. This absurd story was first published
in San Francisco and later found its way to
Maine. 1t was on the face of 1t, pure inven-
ton, like the story of the murder Of the captain.
The only reasonable explanation is that her
master and crew became alarmed by the rumbng
Of the cargo and fearing that her decks would be
blown of by the accumulation of confined gas
from the petroleum and alcohol got out of her
in hurry. 1t is we'll known that oil cargoes con
fined under tightly battened matches will generate
gases, especially when the vessel is pitching and
rolling in heavy weather and that these gases
thus confined, will cause a loud rumbling noise
like distant thunder. The log Of the Mary Celeste
contains numerous illusions to rumblings below
decks, and indicates fear among her officers anC
crew that an explosion would take place. Evi
IDENTIFY, If this theory holds, Captain Briggs die
not know that the danger might have been avert
ed by removing the matches and allowing the
gases to escape, as is often done.
Assuming that the Mary Celestes people lef
her in great hurry, alarmed at the danger of az
explosion, the question arises What became o
them?" The theory generally accepted by sea
fraing men is that they tried to make landin,
on the Azores, and that the boat was capsize,
in the heavy surf, although there is no record o
either the boat or any of the bodies ever havin,
been found.

Fanny, my dear wife"

Fanny, my dear wife"
Whether these words were written by the
mate merely as an expression of affection while
thinking of home, In moment Of panic and
despair when about to abandon the vessel, can
only be conjectured. There was nothing else
about the vessel to indicate the state of mind pre-
vailing on board when she was abandoned. The
date Of this last entry in the mates log was NO
vember "a. When ten days later she was board
ed by men from the Del Gratia her stern boat
gone and 1t appeared that some food prob
ably canned goods, had been taken from locker.
Otherwise everything In such ship-shape
that but for the date of the last entry in the log
the Del Gratia's men could have sworn that the
vessel had been abandoned within an hour. Her
running rigging was all properly made fast and
the slack coiled neatly on deck or over the pins
The companionways were open, halfturned music
lay upon the rack Of the little cabinet organ In
the cabin and childrens toys were scattered upon
the floor In the captains stateroom his gold
watch hung at the head of his berth and in his
wife's room the impress of childs head was dis
tinct upon the pillow.
In the cooks galley the coppers were on the
stove and meat In process of preparation was on
the table In the forecastle the men had not dis
turbed their chests no clothing missing, and
even money had been left behind 1t was plain
that the crew had left her very suddenly. That
the boat was lowered away in hurry and with
some confusion was indicated by broken davit
In the 3S years that have elapsed since the
Mary Celeste was abandoned countless stories, all
more or less fanciful, have been written about
her, and numerous theories have been advanced
In explanation of this greatest of riddles. Mu-
tiny, disease and piracy have been suggested. In
1877 story circulated to the effect that
Mate Richardson had been seen hiding in the
West Indies and that he and members Of the
crew had murdered the captain and stolen many
thousands of dollars that the vessel carrying.

nearly forty years the prize riddle
Of the sea, the Bangor (Me.) correspondent Of the
New York Times writes The Mary Celeste sailed
from New York for Genoa with cargo Of petro-
leum and alcohol She commanded by Capt.
Benjamin s. Briggs of Marion, Mass, with Albert
G. Richardson of Stockton, Me-, as first mate;
Andrew Griling Of New York as second mate and
Edward William Head of New York, volkert Lo
renzer, Arien Harbens, B. Lorenzer and Gottlieb
Goodshood all Of Germany as the crew. The
captains wife and small child we're also on board
The brig was in hrst-class condition, well
manned and well equipped in every way, and
when she sailed from New York on November IT,
1872 the whole ships company was happy and
contented. Yet none Of them was ever again
seen, dead or alive. The brig was found on De-
cember of the Azores, drifting aimlessly about
in light winds, with her head sails set and all
her other canvas down. There was nothing to
show why she had been abandoned what had
become of her people. She was thus found by
the brig Del Gratia, from New York for the Med
teFFanean, ana aIter careIuI examination Cap
tain Moorehouse of the Del Gratia put a prize
crew on board and sent her into Gibraltar, where
she arrived on December 13, 1872 and was turned
over to the admiralty court Her owners refused
to pay the heavy salvage demanded and let the
salvors take her.
Among the officers effects which were sent
home was the mates log, and this with other
articles, was returned to the father of the lost
sailor, the late Theodore NJ Richardson of Stock
ton. One significant passage, the last written, ap-
peared In the log:
