PIRATE SHIP
AGAIN SIGHTED

day of the Red Rover Shortly af-
ter midnight the phantom ship
bore down on the Munson liner and
after giving her a close lookover,
dashed out her few lights and disap-
peared in the darkness.
The local customs officials notified
the Department of Navigation OFF,
cials OF the report last night and it
was stated that complete investi-
CATION Of the case will be started by
the government The original report
was made by the second officer to
Captain Giles that on early Thurs
day morning. June 80, while in the
latitude and longitude given a
strange vessel was sighted heading
westward about two points forward
off the Munalbro's port beam. The
report goes on to say:
Steamer sighted sailing very fast,
came very close, turned around
headed and Immediately disappear
ed. The mast head and range lights
were the only ones visible at the
time"
The stranger showed no running
lights, a clear violation of maritime
law.
The meeting with the strange
craft is adjudged to have been about
800 miles due east Of Philadelphia
When the Munalbro arrived in Bal
timore the custom house was closed
for the three-day holiday and the
ship started on her return trip to
Boston last Saturday, hence Cap
tain Giles could not make his report
in person. The vessel was held VI
again in Boston, so Captain Giles
wired his report to Manager Coria
here.
After the custom house authori-
ties had been notified OF the report
they in turn decided to notify the
commission of navigation at Wash
ington and the latter was at once
called on the telephone last nigh
and acquainted with the facts in thu
report. Commissioner Chamberlain
said the department would look fur
ther into the matter at once.
The Munalbro is engaged in tn
coal trade between this port an'
Boston. Owing to the startling dis
appearance Of several big American
ships recently on the Atlantic coas
and the fruitless search instituted L
recover them by the American, Eng
lish and French governments, ther
is thought to be good ground 70
feeling that the strange ship Nigh
have been one of the supposed pi
rates that are supposed to be in tn
employ Of the Russian Governmen
and who are believed to be respon
slble for the absolute disappearanc
OF the American vessels.

mines. The expert knowledge of
mine conditions on the one hand and
OF treated fabrics on the other has
been brought together TO develop the
new product. The tests made show
that 'ventube." because Of its great
fiexibility, readily conforms TO any
angle or curve and any part OF the
mine. regardless Of how irregular its
approaches, can be quickly reached.
In the manufacture OF this fabric,
il is treated in such a way as to en-
dow it permanently with necessary
resistant qualities and this combined
with its extreme raggedness and
great touRhness makes its develop
ment great advancement in me-
chanical ventilation, according TO the
claims Of the DUPONT Company.
In addition, Il is expected that one
of its common uses will be in emer-
gency fire-fighting, because it could
be put IN place quickly so as to clear
the atmosphere as far back as the
fire district This would enable a
helmet crew to maintain a station
close to the fire and 10 make attacks
from a very short distance. II is
thus possible for a man TO reach
fresh air and safety even though his
helmet gets out Of order.
