sources of information go this morning.
has failed to reach hlsrbor. The three
steamers which arrived at this port Sun-
day had seen or heard nothing of her. But
the fact that vessels not nearly so stanoh
as the French liner have weathered the
gains that have swept the Atlantic for the
past week or more has given heart and
hope to those who can view the chances of
the big steamer from on impartial stand-
point.
At 12on o'cloo this morning a French
line steamer aucho oli' Sandy Hook and
proved to be in Normandlo. o sister ship
of La Gasoogne. La Normandie sailed
from llavre on F.eb 2. and. coming over
the same oourssas Lo Gasoogne. it was
confidently expected that she would have
tidings of the other.
A press tug ran alongside of La Nor-
mandle and boiled her with the question:
" iiavo you heard of La Gaseous?”
“No not a word.” was the disappoint-
ing answer that came back.
Now the ollioiais of the line back their
hope in La Toursino. which sailed for
Ham on Wednesday last. with instruc-
tions to keep the strictest outlook for La
Gasoogne. and if necessary to spend extra
' time in making a detour from the regular
course.
La Gaecognc is now eight days overdue.
She has faced many a furious gale in the
years she crossed the ocean. but never was
she so tardy in reaching port.
011 Oct. 26, 1891, she came into New
York harbor with 920 souls aboard. nit
incrusted to the top of her funnels She
was only 24 hours late. but for four days
and nights she bed been in the grip of a
hurricane. Una day of such weather
would have tested the stsnohuoes of al-
most anything silent. but La tiascogne
wore out four days and nights of it and
reached New York practically uninjured
