Falmouth" Nearly
 Disabled in Gale

Portland, Me, Dec. ' P-The steamer Falmouth of the Eastern land, came into port last night 20 hours late after hard battle with the elements. The vessel was forced to spend ten hours near Vineyard Haven riding out northeasterly gale. The captains desk was torn from the bulkhead, furniture was hurled about, windows of the pilot house were so coated with ice they could not be seen through, and a thick layer of icicles covered the vessel. A binding snow prevented a sight of the forecastle most of the way.

 Tampa Tragedy

Tampa, Fla, Dec. z ReDeath, interrupting a holiday party to end the friendship of a prominent min ing engineer and a wealthy woman subject to Great Britain has left a mystery here that today remained unsolved.
 A coroner's jury late yesterday failed to determine a cause in the death of Louis F. Sweeney, of New York and Minneapolis and Madame R. Maingot of Trinidad South Amer ca, whose bodies were recovered Sunday from the ocean near Venice. Presumably they drowned. An in vestigation, however, revealed bits of evidence that suggested the or dering of an autopsy today.
 Two empty bottles from which the couple were seen to drink, and the fact that among their effects were found notes requesting notifi- cation of relatives 'in case of acci- dent," were the disclosures upon which the new developments were based.
 The man and woman, enjoying their friendship in circumstances which authorities consider rather strange, motored to Venice Sunday with party of friends. They had been here only few days and were registered at different hotels.
 oh %o Sweeney and Madame Maingot chat ted with friends at a pavilion a few minutes and then walked 10 the "a ter together. In few minutes Sweeney returned, obtained two bot ties containing a fluid resembling grape juice the couple drank, waved to their companions and leaped into the water Not until they were seen to be in distress a few moments later was alarm felt and they were dead before aid could reach them.
 Very little was known of their friendship, even among their inti- mate friends. and their effects re- vealed little to throw light on the affair. They were known to have met in South America several years ago while Sweeney was on one of his prospecting jaunts.
 About Madame Maingot there is little information. Peter Taylor. vice consul for Great Britain has taken charge of the few effects left at the hotel. He is trying to com- municate with relatives 10 whom the woman directed attention.
 At his death Sweeney was asso- ciated with the Cerro De Pasco Cop
