Immunity Threatened

If contradiction is shown clearly,
some officials believed that immunity
might not be granted. 1t was recalled
tonight that at the time the commits
sion proposed to subpoena Charles S.
MelIen and other directors of the New
Haven Attorney General McReynolds
made public a letter to the commits
sion in which he discussed the effect
of their appearance upon any Grim
inal prosecution which the government
NAV desire hereafter to institute" Mr..
McReynolds said he had noticed that
the commission intended to summon
Charles s. Mellen, William Rockefel-
Ter, George McCulloch Miller, Charles
f. BROKER. Edwin Miner, Louis Case
Ledyard, George F. Baker and Ed
ward D. Robbins.
Before this letter was made public,
the attorney general was in conference
with Senators Kern and Norris, Com
missioner McChord and Chief Counsel
Folk of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and refused to say whether he
contemplated criminal prosecutions of
these men or other New Haven direc-
tors.
Dissolution Prospect
1t has been well understood in ad-
ministration circles that the depart
ment is anxious to get the civil dis
solution of the New Haven out of the
way before it takes up any other phase
of the case. According to the depart
ment theory of the matter the New
Haven grip on the transportation OF
New England is absolute and it Is
more imperative that it be broker
than that a few indictments be ask
ed for which could not in any way re-
store competition to that section. II
the negotiations with New Haven Off
Gals and lawyers for a peaceful dis
solution, 1t has been Thoroughly un'
derstood that the question of crimina
| indictments was not involved and thu
way is open for the department Il
proceed if it is deemed wise and it i.
believed there is evidence to Obtain
convictions.

most hopeless task of preparing the bark
for the voyage to Tahiti.
The resources of the Manga Reya were
extremely limited, not even a blacksmith
forge being available, and in consequence
the work of salvage was greatly delayed.

island and fearing a famine among his
laborers. Captain Thayer left with the
barl, for Tahiti on March 10, 1902, &C
comDanied by Captain Porter and twenty
blacks who had never before seen a
square rugged vessel.
Although the fire had entirely destroyed
fine decks and one of the masts leaned
over at an angle of five degrees, the
600 mile voyage to Tahiti was made
in twelve days, ending April 1, 1902
The voyage was made under great diff
cuIties. as the only sails available were
etriDs from the original equipment while
2 600 tons Of the grain cargo remained
in the hold and the ship was absolutely
without decks.
At Papeete temporary decks of one

numerous reefs and shoals the Pyrennes
stood away for Manga Reva, which lies
in the Low Archipelago, and where the
cargo could be discharged and at least
part of it salvaged. Manga Reva is 2SS
miles from Pitcairn Island, and for two
days the Pyrennes lay in a dead calm, the
sea as smooth as oil, while the almost
exhausted crew fought the flames sus-
tanned for the most part by grog passed
round by a plucky little cabin boy. There
was thought of abandoning the bark in
small boats, but Captain Bryce refused
to leave his vessel while there was a
chance to save any Of the cargo. At the
end of the second day the calm was
broken. A fair wind bellied the sails
and the crew took fresh heart. By the
time the little lagoon at Manga Reva
was sighted the sea was running high and
noisy breakers dashed over the coral
reefs that surrounded the island.
True as a dart the Pyrennes sped for
the narrow opening to the lagoon. It was
dangerous to attempt 10 enter, but to stay
outside meant certain disaster. On the
crest of a monster roller the bark scudded
between the coral jaws of the outer reef.
Just as she seemed poised above the
placid lagoon for a second a flaw struck
her. She swerved to starboard, shudder
ran through her frame as she Jared
against a rock, then she sped into the
calm water, but rolling heavily. The car
penter reported a hole in her side as big
as the head of a water cask. and under the

A few months later an attempt was
made to sell the bark in San Francisco
but the London underwriters refused Il
confirm the meagre price offered, anC

being slowed, and a portion of the barley
was wetted, which later made trouble. i
was Kerr, the mate, who first scented
smoke aboard the Pyrennes. It was il
