1 THE NEW YORK TIMES. FRIDAY. AUGUST 26. 180S. 12 SIXTEEN FISHERMEN LOST The Brigantine La Coquette Sunk by a Thingvalla Liner Off the Grand Banks.

NINE OF FISHING CREW SAVED The Sorgo Was Steaming Slowly in th Tog When Shock Came Capt. Xnud-- son Blames the risherman Victim All Frenchmen. Nina shipwrecked sailors from the fishing brigantine La Coquette were landed at thl Prt yesterday morning by the steamer Korea of the Tbingvalla IJne. I.a Coquette waa sunk by the Norge last Saturday off the Grand Banks, and of the crew of twenty-five on the fisherman, all were drowned txcept the nine now In this city. La Coquette hailed from Bayonne.

France, where all the men of her crew lived. She had been off the Banks ail the Sunmfr, and only lant week -landed 110 tors of fish at 8t. I'lerre. and then, last Thursday afternoon, put to sea again to Bin until the season closed. The men had been Ashing the day of the disaster.

When run down. I Coquette was suiting in a fair brt-t-xe, but Cupt. Brre was about to give the order to shorten sail and anchor. It was a foggy day, und, ulthough there were several schooners In the vicinity of I -a Coqui-tte. nun could be seen.

It shortly after 3 o'clock In the af-ternoofl hen, suddenly thrust out of the fog, the Mem of the Norge was seen rapidly approaching. The next moment the steamer struck the fisherman on the port bow, cutting a big hole, which caused the brigantine to fill at once. The mainmast went by the board with the force of the collision, anil carried several of the men wit It. It '8 probable that several were klllea by the falling mast. La.

Coquette then broke in two and sank, and all of the crew who rould be seen on the deck of the unfortunate fisherman were thrown into the water. How Mine Escaped Death. When the Norge struck La Coquette three of the men Jumped and caught the iteamer's anchor chains. They were pulled on board. The other six were picked out of the water by a boat lowered from the Norge.

The men who were saved were Capt. IuIh Berre, Victor Cherel, th mate; lon Binchun. H. Bruguel. J.

Le Jean Baptlste Lemenunt. Kugene Gulllette, Leon utln. Joseph Lefvre. on landing here they went to the oftloe of the French Consul and then to a French hotel at lti" Christopher Street. The men had lost everything ihey had.

and th French Consul gave them money to buy clothe. They will be sent back to France by a steamer sailing on Saturday. The names of the men who were drowned, cording to Jean Lemenant, the master fishtrnian, are P. Malnquit. Auguste Mon-slmet, P.

Ailain, T. Junnon. Aunuste Au-gant. P. Leperon, Jean Lessop, Ktnile Beau-pere.

Joseph Groswet. Pierre Guenenouiy Noel Marquet, Jules Gerard. Kmile Lecrol5 Pierre Wuintim, and Jules Bourelle. A dog which was the mascot of the fishermen was also saved. It was a Newfoundland puppy and belonged to the Captain.

It was seen struggling in the water and taken on the Norge by the sailors. Capt. Berre gave the dog. which he had named Vermont, to Second Kngineer Nielsen, who had charge of the boat that picked the fishermen out of the water. Capt.

KnuiLon, who had command of the Norge. made a report of the accident on reaching port yesterday. In his report tapt. Knudson said the Norire left Stettin on Aug. 3.

Copenhagen on the 10th. and Christlan-y sand on the rjth. with first-class passengers. Xi second-class passengers, and 143 steerage passengers on board Everything went well until last Saturday morning, when Norge ran Into a heavy fog. The speed of the vessel was reduced, the foghorn was blown, and a careful watch kept.

About o'clock in the afternoon, when in latitude -MI degrees and XI minutes north and longitude 4H degrees and 'M minutes wet. off the Grand Banks, the fishing vesJ La oquerte suddenly loomed up out of the fog directly ahead of the Norge. Capt. Knud-on said he at once gave the order to reverse the engine and go astern at full speed, and hbr order was promptly obeyed. The Norge slowed down, but seeing at once that a collision could not be avoided, and having in mind the fearful accident to La Hour-gogne.

Capt. Knudson ordered the vessel sent ahead at full speed. This he did In orrtw to save his vessel as much as possible, be-lleving that the harder the blow given to the fisherman the less likelihood there was of his vessel being seriously Injured. Knndaon Blames the Fisherman. After the collision the Norge, which had cut wall into the fishing boat, held that vessel up.

but the Norge's engines were reversed, and as soon as she drew clear of La. Coquette, the fishing boat sank. Three men cllmed. on the steamer while the two vessel were locked together, and a boat which was lowered at once rescued six others who were swimming in the water. Capt.

Knudson said that the Norge searched for the others for a long" time but could find no truce of them. He thought that they had got entangled In the falling drowned. He said that, while on lD.N.0Kr.K' 1 apt. Herre of uettc said that this was the fourth accident he had been In and he Intended to quit the sea Capt: Knudson blamed the fisherman for the accident. He said that all sails were set and the fisherman was sailing fast through the fog.

He said that, on a steam vessel, he was obliged to keep out of the way of all sailing craft, but that this was a time when the ailing vessel could do more to help herself than could the steamer. The fisherman was an active vessel, had a good breese and was under good steerage way but made no attempt to avoid the collision! keeping his sails full until squarely under the bow-. The large hull of the Norge hould have been visible for a long distance. Capt. Berre made a statement to the FTem-h Consul.

The report stated that the collision occurred Aug. at o'elock in the afternon. La Coquette was off the Grand Banks, a day and a half from Mlquelon. She wa at that time in the fishing banks and thirty other schooners were about her There was a dense fog. but all the men v're on deck fishing.

Drowned Tangled la The collision occurred so suddenly that it waa Impossible to do anything to get out of the way. The Norge. which was going at a speed of from eight to ten knots an hour, hit La Coquette In the side. Her mast fell toward the wheeL There wore sixteen men In that part of the vessel, arid the rigging, sails, and mast pinned the men down so that It was Inevitable death for Uem when the vessel sank. The wheel was smashed by the falling mast, and the vessel waa wholly lost control of.

The Norge cut La Coquette clean In half. She becked aa quickly as possible, and the nine men cn the forward part of La Coquette, inducing Capt. Berre, jumped Into the sea. Capt. Berre ays the crew of the steamer aid all It could for the men In the water, putting out boats for them and taking them 11 in and making aa great an effort aa oossible to git some of the other men.

La Coquette sank at ones. La Coquette was a brigantine of 105 tons. She tu owned in Bayonne. the names of the owners being unknown. She sailed from Bayonne In May for Mlquelon, to fish off the Grand Banks.

She was to have remained off the Banks to the end of the season, which would have been In about six wks. Capt. Berre was aeen at his hotel last night and at first was disposed to talk about the accident, but a Frenchman who lived at the hotel talked to the Captain, and than the Captain's lips were sealed. The French, man said that the Captain did not purpose te have the reports falsified aa the reports ex tne Hourgogne disaster were, but he intimated that for 11U tie vuM of the Captain, and that, tf the 10 were jet paid, he would publish a story to-day that would make the published reports appear false.

of 58 Perry Street, lost his position as messenger boy in a down-town business office on Aug. and fearing to tell his parents, he remained away, and ever since has made a precarious living as a newsboy.

The police were asked some days ago to look fur the boy and they have been on the watch ever since. Policeman Hara of the Bicycle Squad found the youthful prodigal last night at Central Park West and Seventy-second street.

With lu his eyes and his clothes torn and dirtv. the boy was asking passing citizens to buy his last paper.

POLICE LOSE MURDER TRAIL They Arc Losing Confidence In Kennedy's OoUt Xendham and Kiss BsTnolda's Jewels. After nine days of unremitting effort to fasten upon Dentist Samuel J.

Kennedy the murder of Emeline C. Reynolds, the young woman who was found dead in a room at the Grand Hotel on Aug. 1.1. the police were practically at a standstill yesterday. The finding Wednesday of the murdered girl's Jewels on a shelf in the Fifty-eighth Street flat where she had lived has caused the detective force that has been hot upon Kennedy's trail to pause in at least temporary confusion.

The finding of the Jewels but adds another element of mystery to this extraordinary case. Maurice Mendham the Broad 8treet broker who had paid the rent of Miss Reynolds's flat. Informed the police of the find. The Jewels, he said, had been found In the pantry by Margaret Adams, a negro servant. The place where they were found furnished little concealment.

They were in a chamoln-akln bag. and lay behind a sugar bowl the last place In the world one would ordinarily choos Ir hich to conceal sXono worth of jewels. The police have searched the houne many times since the murder was committed, and were sure that the Jewels were not there that they have since gone through every pawnshop in the city, and have repeatedly gone over the country roads on Staten Island leading to Kennedy's home. To secure the jewels was supposed to be Kennedy's motive for the crime. Mendham.

It Is alleged, furnished Miss Reynolds with the money to purchase the Jewelry and fine clothing which she wore. i ne gins mother has made a statement tending to show that some time ago her daughter and Mendham had had some trouble over the Jewels. The mother said that the day before ihe murder her daughter and Mendham had a fight over the rings she wore, and that he tore her clothing In an effort to get the rings. hen Mendham entered the Caotaln's room at the West Thirtieth Street Police Station and met Kennedy, soon after the latter's arrest. Kennedy turned to him and said: Thle is a nice box you've got me Into." The police are turning their attention away from Kennedy for the moment.

Meanwhile Messrs. Friend House. Kennedy counsel, are preparing with redoubled vigor and confidence the dentist's defense, which will be produced In the West Side Court to-day. FEBBIES RAILROAD FRANCHISE. Parehaaed by Joseph D.
