VICTIM OF U-B0AT
 NEW HAVEN SHIP
Lyman M. Law Built in Elm City
 in 1890

New Haven, Feb. 15.-The Lyman M. Law, reported yesterday as sunk in the Mediterranean was built in 1890 in the shipyards of Gessner and Mar, in First avenue, West Haven, now known as the New Haven Shipbuilding cor poration of which Ernest J. Mar one of the original builders, is still 8 mem- Der. The schooner was named after Lyman M. Law, for many years senior partner in the Booth and Law Co.,, paint dealers, but who retired about 20 years ago. MT. Law is now 92 years old and in feeble health.
 The craft, when built, was one of the largests chooners of her day. In fact very few four masters were much larger. Her gross tonnage was about 1900 tons. The Lyman M. Law was used by the Benedict-Manson marine company in coastwise trade constantly until last July when she was sold by the Benedict company to John Water man of Mobile, Ala. From this port she was sent to Rockland, Me, where extensive repairs were made and after another trip was again sold to William H. flax 25 Beaver street, New York, her present owner. The price paid to the Benedict-Mansion Co.,, is said to have been about 5000.
 The schooner was used in the coal and lumber business by the local com pany and was familiar sight in New Haven harbor Her skipper at the time of her sale was Captain c. w.. Chatfeld of Hadlyme. The Lyman M. Law it is believed, never made a transatlantic trip before but a sister ship, the George M. Grant. sailed to Spain and left just in time to escape capture by the Spaniards just before the Spanish-American war in 1893.
 Captain E. Harris Weaver, one Of the company's shippers, and who was very familiar with the Law has been confined at the Elm City private hospital for nine weeks having had a toe amputated. Adverse conditions set in and he has been in poor health until few days ago when he was able to sit up.

over the western hills toward
the distant Mediterranean, cast
lengthening shadows from the
great tfg tree which sheltered the arch

the distance a single trumpet sounded,
faint and indIstinct. A nearer trumpet
echoed and re-echoed the sound. A

distance the sheep were peacefully
grazing upon the hillside, even now be-
ing herded together by the watchful
shepherds and their dogs in prcpara-

cast her eyes In vain, for what she
saw satisfied her not. To the north
lay Hebron, the ancient city where the
