'AMPHION' BRINGS ILL
LUCK TO WARSHIPS
Vessel Recently Blown Up Is Second Of
That Name to Suffer the
same Fate.

London. Eng. Aug. 21.-There seems
to be a fatality about the name AM
phion as used for a British warship-
The light cruiser AmphiOn, which was
blown up by a floating mine in the
North sea August 6, was the second Of
that name to be blown up, and on each
occasion the loss OF life was consider
able.
The first Amphion was a frigate Of 30
guns and she became quite famous in
the wars Of the end Of the 18th cen
fury. She was in command Of Capt.
Israel Pellew and on September p. 1895.
while lying in Plymouth harbor, she
caught fire and blew up The cause
Of the accident was never placed. Capt
Pellew and 10 out Of 312 officers, men
and visitors on board were lost.
It has always been customary in the
British navy to perpetuate the names
OF vessels that win distinction, and so
another Amphion was built She was
Of the same size as the one blown up
I'm Plymouth harbor. At one time she
flew the flag Of vice admiral Nelson
and won fame
Before the British had an Amphion
there was a vessel Of that name in the
French navy. N-hicn was captured in the
battle off Ushant on July p. 1l1S. After
the second Amphion had finished her
career Of usefulness there was no Am
phion until the cruiser was built in 1872.
