She was launched into the Atlantic Ocean. Recently in May, 1861, as the Amazon it was picked up on the share of Later she was refitted and admitted/

ato American registry as the Mari St. Petersburgh, Fla., and for time was taken seriously as a Celeste, and In November, 187 message from one of the crew of she left New York for Genon with a ship that mysteriously appeared a cargo of alcohol. Catain Briggs in New York Harbour 29 years ago, commanded. With him went bis The ship was the Commodore of wife and daughter and a crew of Philadelphia. The lad, not know- 15. ing of the ship and its story, cur rent many years before he was born, wrote the note as a plea for help for "our ship the Commodore," Nowspapers all over the country printed it and told again the mysterious story.

The tale of the Commodore of Philadelphia Is, like many another mystery of the sea, still unsolved, ilke the mysteries of the Marie Celeste, the U.S.S. Cyclops and other ships.

The fate of the Commodore of Philadelphia was to arrive in New York Harbour suddenly from no- where. On the night of April 6, 1901, according to the records, the véssel appeared off Tebo's Basin, in South Brooklyn, drifting with the tide.

After workmen had hailed her

and no answer was received, they boarded her and found not a sou! on board. Every nook and cranny was searched, but no trace of life was found. How the Commodore could have drifted into the harbour

On December 4, one month later, she was picked up 300 miles west of Gibraltar by the British brigantine Dei Gratia. Not a soul was on board. Nothing but the humans who boarded her in New York, a chronometer and the ship's papers were missing.

In the quarters used by the cap tain's wife a dress reposed only sewing partly completed, on machine, a thimble by its side. A half-anished breakfast in the crew's quarters still lay on plates. Even Everything was shipshape. the bunks were made.

The ship was towed to port and reached eventually her cargo Genon. Personal belongings of those who disappeared were sent to relatives and for several years an investigation was carried on.

In more recent years is recorded the disappearance of the U.S.S. Cyclops.

Out of Barbados on March 4, 1918, bourd' north, with a cargo of manganese for use in the manufacture of munitions she was to pick up allled naval escorts along the way.

Hundreds saw the ship steam away. No one ever saw her again nor any of the 208 souls who were aboard.

t

Calm seas prevailed, and if she sank no trace has ever been found --and that in itself would be odd, for there is seldom a wreck but that some mark of its passing is not eventually thrown. ashore with the tides,
