MANY UNLUCKY TRIPS ' Made by “Hobson’s Cork” Be fore he Torpedoed Her. The loss of the collier Merri mac in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba June 2 recalls the sin gular history of the vessel. In May, 1896, she lay at the Pin ner’s Point dock of the Southern Railway Company, in Norfolk Harbor, loading for an English port. During her stay many stories were told by the sailors illustrative of her general bad luck, She was built at Newcastle on-Tyne, England, in 1884, for a Norwegian line and named Solveig. Her first trip was from, Amsterdam to New York. It is related that, although she was built to show speed and sea worthiness, she ran out of water before she reached the American port. On another trip she secur ed a cargo of Hour and wheat from American ports to Liver pool and Gljiscow. When she reached the other side the cargo' was found to have been damaged so on the trip that the con signees refused to receive it. The sailers aboard of her as serted that she was “hoodooed” and she was many times com pelled to leave port insufficiently in itined. At another time a car-1 go of bulk wheat heated on th? outward voyage and it is stated that after this occurrence the original owners disposed of her. Another ill-fated voyage was I that when she loaded with lum bar, cotton and pig iron at Pin ner’s Point in 1896. The long shoremen finished loading her on Friday evening, but through some delay to the ship’s papers I she did not clear the docks until Saturday morning. She ran I across to Newport News to take on coal for the voyage. While lying at the coal pier Dock No. 4of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company, took dre. I’he lire extended to the grain elevator and caught the ship ping lying at the pier. Os cours* : the ill-fated Solveig could no' escape. A British ship had been 1 made fast'to her, and lying out side, prevented the use of heu engines in moving her. The tug Hustler, ran in while i the rigging of the ship was in Hames, made fast to the Solveig and pulled her to midstream i Iler cargo was badly damaged as well as the vessel. All her masts were burned with any of the other woodwork that the i Hames could well reach. ) She was then towed up to a point between the Atlantic coast line dock and Portsmouth,where j she lay for a long time, her i rusty iron sides and blackened ■ woodwork showing to all who , passed in and out of Norfolk Harbor. The Solveig lay in the harbor dismantled until sold at masters sale, when she was purchased by T. F. Jltgan & Son, of New . York, and by them sold to the government last April. Her cost to the government j was $342,000, which sum, ex- I perts assert, was at least .i 24 \- 000 more than she was worth. ALL THIS WKEK.
