Call for Help Sent Out when the
Mexico Lost Her Propeller.

Boston, Jan. 31.--A wireless mes
sage received here, today. stated that
the steamer Devonian had picked up
the steamer Mexico. which lost her
propeller and was towing her into
Halifax
The Mexico was bound for Dunkirll
and carries cargo and few pas
sengers. Some alarm for her has been
felt.
The call for help from the Mexico
was caught by several steamers. early
yesterday morning. and the Calico
was the first To heed it. Later, the
Deyonian, bound from Boston to Liv-
erpool, announced that she was on the
way to assist and the Calico con-
tinued on her course.
The Devonian reached the Mexico,
last evening, and despite heavy sea
and the darkness. succeeded in send
ing two steel hawsers on board the
Mexico. Both steamers had drifted to
the southwark and when the tow
started for Halifax, the nearest port, it
was 400 miles away.
Captain Trent of the Devonian no.
titled the agents of the line, today,
that he was making good progress I'M
der excellent weather conditions and
that he hoped to reach Halifax, Mon
day afternoon or Tuesday morning.
As the Mexico with her cargo is val
ued at more than a million dollars, il
was estimated here. today, that the
owners, officers and crew of the De.
woman would divide at least $4,000
salvage money, making the prize one
of the richest that has been towed
into North American port in many
years. The Devonian has IA passen-
