strange tale told by the captain Of
the Greek steamer Eugenia S. EN-
biricos, which locked here today.
Captain Themistocles Goulandris
said his steamer sighted the schooner
about fifty miles south of the Ber-
mudas on April %.
An inspection party sent aboard

Mary, two-masted schooner Of New
York registry. Her sails were
furled, the hull was freshly painted,
but no living thing was aboard.

whose crew has never been deter
mined.
When the Marie Celeste was
boarded, all her sails were set and
fires burning in the galley, but no.
