FRENCH DERELECT
 LANDS ON ROCKS

London, February 23.-The old French warship Richeieu, which for a fortnight had been drifting about, derelict dan gerous to navigation, found port today on the rocks off the Scilly islands. Ths craft was sighted by the life saving crews, who first thought transatlantic liner had gone ashore, but when a life boat reached the scene the crew recog- nized the French freighter.
 The Richelieu was being lowed to Hol- land, where she was to have been broken up, when two weeks ago in a gale she tore loose from her tow. A few days ago she was reported as sighted in the track of transatlantic liners 1f0 miles west of Queenstown. Some apprehension had been felt in marine circles and the news that the derelict was fast on the rocks off Scilly islands was welcomed by mariners here.
