Mahomed eyed him with keen dis

FLOTSAM FROM Ell SUD
ON BRAZ0S ISLAND
Two Half Barrels of Brandy from
Wreck Off Galveston Find Way to
this Coast.

A strange illustration of the freaks
Of the currents of the Mexican Gulf
has come to notice recently, through
the finding by the life-saving crew
on Brazos Island of two half barrels
of brandy from the cargo of the
Southern Pacific steamship, FL Sud,
which was washed out OF sthe ship
when it collided with the Denver of
the Mallory line, off Galveston on
April 90.
Captain Wallace Reed of the
Brazos Island station notified Capt.
Hutching, of the life saving service
at Galveston. of the find The lat
| ter in turn notified the Southern
Pacific steamship company The re-
suit was an order from that company
to Capt. Hutchings 70 have the re-
covered brandy shipped to the COM
pany at Galveston.
The find consisted of two half bar
rels of brandy containing 50 l-2 gal
Ions. These. the steamship company
claims, were washed out of Ell Sud
when she collided with the Denver
1t appears that some of the ships
cargo was also washed ashore on
Padre Island, which was not re-
ported, it being learned that one bar

were entitled to salvage. Just who
the finders were does not appear.

the Brazos Island life-savers will be
