"OVER THE EDGE"
List of "Missing" Ships Largest in
World's; History.
Neva in the world's history has
the sea held each horrors and un-
known dangers; never • have there
been such countless maritime dis-
asters, and 11e505 has the "List' of
Missing" been so tragically over-
crowded. 'Ships sail from harbor, and
are seen- et:ego "over the'edge." After
that some ef them pass beyond the
edge of all things, for they Eirc never

no sign to thow by what means they

It is, with some disasters, as if the
sea opened up its cavernous depth
and sucked tee ship and all aboard
down under *Rhea time to appeal
to any heman aid. An instance pe
these mysterious happenings at sea
is recorded by the. Seeretaxy of the
United States Navy, who recently

claims arising front the loss of the

markable case was head in the law
courts arising at of the total disap-
Pearance in the North Sea, in Jam-
as:ye 1016, of the steamship Euterpe,
after she -had passed yannouth en
route to MicIdlebrough. The Owners
sued the company Who had insured
the ship against war risks to recover

nied liability, and said that the ordin-
ary blethers against marine perils
were liable, as the weather was such
as to melee it lineable that she vets
lost by peens of tee sea.
The judge was of opinion that the
ship was sunk by e mine. Therefore,
he held that she was lost by a war
rislc, and gave the plaintiffs pedg-
enent for $60,000 and costs.
Apart from the risks of war, the
direct memo of missing ships an
