A Now York message dated December 17 slates that the Brazilian barque Ncthtis, with 12 men on board, was lost during a snowstorm on December 15 off Barnc-

gat. on tho New Jersey coast, according to Captain Moroos, of the tug Garibaldi, whioh arrived at New York on December 17. Tho Ncthtis was a tow or tho Garibaldi, on her way to New York from Maranhain, Brazil. Tho barque was lost, according to Captain Moroes, through the brealting o£ tho chain tackletto which the towline was fastened. This occurred shortly before 7 p.m., and for seven hours the tug searched through the blinding storm for some trace of her tow, repeats edly sounding her whistle and burninn lights. The Garibaldi, with her tow, 6tarted from Maranham on October 13, touching at Barbadoes and San Juan for coal and supplies. Less than 60 miles of her 6CCo.mile voyage remained to bp. covered when the 'barque was lost. On three previous occasions, the captain said, the tow-lino parted, but. the tng always managed to pick un the baro.ue again. The heavy weather and high gales prevailing on the day of the disaster, malting it impossible to see any distance from the tug. caused the barque to be swept almost instantly out of sight as soon as the tackle parted.
