MISSING YACHT is
FOUND IN NEWARK
Vessel Reported Stolen at Bal
tinnore Said to Have Been
Located Here.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 1.-THE power
yacht Almax, which was spirited
away from her moorings at Ferry
bar one night about eighteen months
ago. a few days before the Chesa-
peake bay regatta, in which she had
been entered, has been found.
Jacob Mayer, owner of the yacht,
reported the theft to detective head
quarters. and two detectives were
assigned to look for the yacht. The
Almax at the time was one of the
best-known boats of her class on the
bay.
The yacht had been picked by
many as the probable winner of the
power yacht race in the big regatta.
It was at first believed that the
Yacht had been taken so that the
owner would be unable to enter IL
in the race. The police searched
both shores of the bay and visited
every creek between Annapolis and
the head of the bay, but without
avail
All that the detectives were able
to learn was that the thieves went
aboard the yacht on the evening of
June 20. 1872, and cast off shortly be-
fore midnight. They waited until
they had dr1fted some distance out
into the stream before they started
the engine. 1t was not until the fol-
lowing afternoon that Mr.. Mayer
discovered the loss of his boat.
The Almax was finely fitted up and
was valued at $4,000. The loss was
finally referred to Maury & Don
nelly williams & Donnelly Com
pany, insurance agents, and they
Sta rfad an investigation.
An agent working for this firm
found the boat several days ago in
a shipyard at Newark, N. ]. The
yacht has been identified and steps
will be taken to return it to Mr..

BOAT IS
SUNK IN RIVER
57-Foot Oyster Vessel Crushed
by Ice and Sinks at Erie
Bridge.

Heavy ice caused the fifty-seven-
foot power boat Alice to sink III the
Passaic river near the Fourth ave-
nue. bridge of the Erie railroad last
night. The vessel was loaded with
oysters and gasoline, and was on her
way from Rockaway to Passaic. Cap
tain Arthur Halliwell, of Paterson.
and his mate, Aaron Landlinck, OF
Wellington, had a difficult time
reaching shore in safety.
Halliwell's boat had hard time
coming up Newark bay and the Pas
sale. The ice was heavy and the
weather extremely cold. After going
through the Clay street draw Halli-
well noticed that the Alice was TAX
ing water. The ice had cut into the
bow and opened the seams of the
vessel and she was beginning to
sink.
Halliwell kept his motor going and
got through the Fourth avenue
bridge. He then decided to beach the
Alice.
A watchman on the shore had heard
Halliwell's call for help. He caught
a rope thrown by Landlinck and fast
ened it to the wharf
Landlinck slid off on the rope first.
The crumbling river ice gave him lit
tie support, but he pulled himself.
hand over hand, to the shore.
The water was tapping over the
boats deck when Captain Halliwell
swung off on the rope. He had barely
gained a footing on the shore when
the Alice went down.
The boat is lying with only its bow
out of the water today. An attempt
will be made to raise her when the
cold moderates. She was bound from
Rockaway to Passaic. The gasoline
part of the cargo was owned by the
Standard Oil Company. The entire
cargo was valued at $500 The boat
is valued at $1,000.

and warships are now in the vicinity,
and search of the island will be
made at the first opportunity
Kagoshima, the nearest biggest
city TO Sal5ura. while it suffered great
damage from the earthquakes, does
not appear to have sustained a
severe loss of life. H. Ijuin, former
japanese minister TO China, who
lives in Kagoshima, sent a dispatch
to the foreign office. in which he said
that ten persons have been killed
and thirty injured there. He also
vailed in the city.
