They lie along the lanes of travel,
half submerged, their decks awash and
with perhaps the stump of mast jut-
ting up above the waves. They are al
most always wooden vessels, most fire.
uuently landed with lumber which makes
them virtual y unsuitable.
The modern iron ship is apt to open up
and disappear in a short time, but the
wooden derelict will voyage on for an al
most incredible length of time and will
traverse seemingly impossible distances.
An instance of the vagaries of these
errant marine phantoms is to be found
in the last voyage of the Fannie E.
Woolsten. In 1891 she was wrecked OH
the coast of the United States, drlfled
across the Atlantic to the English coast,
thence along the western shore of Europe
and finally, after recrossing the Atlantic,
went ashore three degrees north of the
point where she went adrift. In her
travels she had covered 10000 miles.
The schooner B. r. Woodside was
scarcely less remarkable. She began
her career as a derellct several hundred
miles east of Savannah. sidled off to-
wards Europe, turned near the Canary
islands, came back to within 20 miles of
her starting point Later she drifted
south towards Florida, then drifted off
again, zigzagging across her old path,
and was at last taken in tow and brought
in Abaco, New Providence. She had
been reported by 40 ship masters.
Another record trip was that of the
, Alma Cummings, which kept a1ioat for
SGT days and covered more than 5000
miles. She was wrecked in 1895 off
Cape Henry and after week Of terrible
sutferings her crew was taken off. Then
she started off to navigate without a
| crew. She was reported making her
way across to Europe, later near the
equator, burned to the waters edge.
and finally she grounded in 1896 at Colon.
One Of the most notable of the later
derelicts was the Norwegian bark Crown,
which was abandoned in mid-ocean at
Christmas, 1909. Loaded with lumber
she kept afoat easily and for 11S days
was reported frequently and had totalled
a drift of some 1000 miles when she
finally lost herself in the weedy confines
OF the Sargasso sea. the graveyard of
scores Of these forgotten ships.
The freakiest of all, however was the
Fred B Taylor, which was run down and
cut in halves by the bow of the steam
ship Trave. Strangely enough both
stern and bow remained ahoat. The
stern swung North and after many days
came ashore at Wells Beach. while the
bow took the opposite course and beach

DEMOCRATS DEFEAT WOMAN SUI
FRAGE.

AUGUSTA, March IL. Especial to the
Express Advertiser). The Republicans
in the House this morning, gave the
Democrats another opportunity to dem
onstrate how devoted they are to the
principle of the rule of the people when
the woman suffrage bill came back from
the Senate accepted by the necessary
two-thirds Of that body. Rep. Sanborn
of South Portland moved that the rules
be suspended and the action of the
House in refusing passage to the re-
solve. be reconsidered.
This brought Mr. Newhert of Augusta
promptly to his feet and he argued that
this matter was not properly before the
House. ought not to come in this way,
and objected to the combination of mo-
tons to suspend the rules and reconsider.
Rep. Boman of Vinahaven, also a
Democrat, spoke in opposition to any
reconsideration Of this measure. The
Speaker ruled that it was customary IN
making motion to suspend the rules,
that it be coupled with a motion Of some
special character, but as MIR. Newbert
had raised the point of the right of Mr..
Sanborn to move for reconsideration, in
view of the fact that Mr.. Sanborn did
not vote with the prevailing party, the
Speaker ruled that the point was well
taken and if the House so desired, he
would divide the question and take the
vote on the motion to suspend the rules.
This vote was taken by division Of
the House and defeated, IS voting in
favor of suspension and II against it. So
the motion to suspend the rules was lost.
MIR. Newbert inquired if this proposition
was likely to come up in any form again.
He said he might want to be down town
voting for himself for mayor some day
and he wanted to feel that reference of
the woman suffrage resolve to the peo-
pie might not be sprung upon in his alb
sence. He wanted to know, he said, if
this dead woman was likely to come to
life again or was going to stay buried
under six feet of earth.
The Speaker assured him that, so far
as he knew, there is no way under the
rules by which the matter can come up
again.

THIRTEEN YEARS UNNAMED.
When the Greenlander looked at the
log he found that the last entry, made
even while the captain was awaiting
death, was dated Nov 18th, 1862. For
Is years the Gloriana had wound in and
out among the ice foes with no hand to
guide her. Not tar from the captain
were found several other bodies, among
one of them woman.
In the record of creWless cruises there
is no more astounding than that of the
Marie Celeste. Forty years have passed
since she was discovered on her lonely
voyage, but although many theories
have been advanced, there has never
been satisfactory solution of her baf-
fling predicament.
The Celeste sailed from New York for
Genoa Nov. 7th, 1872, with cargo of
petroleum and alcohol. In command
was Capt. Benjamin S. Briggs of
Marion, Mass, with Albert R. Richard
of Stockton, Me-, as first mate, and
Andrew Gilling of New York as second
mate. The crew was made up of five
brought his wife and a small child,
The brig was In the best of condition,
we'll manned and we'll equipped. Not a
month after she had sailed she was
picked up off the Azores drifting aimless-
ly about in light winds with head sails
set and all her other canvas down. The
brig Del Gratia noted her in passing and
getting no response to an imperative
hail, ran in and boarded. There was
absolutely no sign of life.
There was nothing about the ship to
indicate panic, nothing to indicate dis
ease or pressing danger. The last entry
in the mate g log, which was found among
the officers effects, was Nov. oath, ten
days before the Del Gratia came up with
her. There was nothing in the log to
