BIRMINGHAM, .Tune 7 — A national
scheme for household coal to apply
to the whole country was decided
upon at a conference here recently.
A reduction in the use of coal for
householders is contemplated in order
to avoid rationing for industrial pur
poses.
A home office report shows the
output of coal from mines in 1!
to be 248,473,119 tons, a decrease of
7,875,232 tons.

WASHINGTON, June 7—The mys
terious disappearance of the naval col-;
lier Cyclops has revived interest in
other mysterious disappearances of
naval vessels. From the records of!
the navy department there has been1
compiled a brief list of naval vessels
which sailed and then went down in
the ocean's maw without leaving a]
soul to tell the story.
The Saratoga, a ship of 18 guns,
commanded by Captain John Young,'
was lost at sea with all on board in1
| March. 1781.
A few years later the General Gates,
also a ship of 18 guns, built in 1777
or 1778, was lost without a trace.
The Pickering, a brig of 14 guns,
weighing 187 tons and carrying a crew
of ninety men. sailed from Newcastle,
Del., on August 20, 1800, in command
i.l' Lieutenant It. Hillard, bound for the
i
Guadeloupe station. She never was
hoard from after that date, it being
believed that she foundered in an
equinoctial gale in September of that
same year.
mh' insurgent, wmcn nan neen cap
tured from the French in 1770 by the
IL S. S. Constellation, sailed from
Hampton Roads on August 8, 1800,
for a cruise in the West Indies. She
! also is believed to have gone down
with her crew of 340 men in one of
; the equinoctial gales that caused the
Pickering to go under,
j The Wasp, with 140 men, under com
' rnand of Commander Johnston Blakely,
engaged and captured on September 1,
1814. the British brig Atlanta. A
Swedish brig reported having spoken
her three weeks after that date, but
no further news ever was had about
her. She is supposed to have foun
dered in a gale.
The Hamilton, one of Commodore
Chauncy’s squadron on Lake Ontario,
! capsized on the night of August 10,
1813, while trying to weather the
j enemy’s squadron. “All hands,” says
| the official chronicle, “are supposed
to have been at quarters.”
The Epervier, a ship of 18 guns and
; a complement of 128 men, captured
from the British by the U. S. S. Pea
| cock, sailed from Gibraltar for this
I country on July 4, 1815. She last was
j seen by a merchant vessel on August
14 in mid-Atlantic.
The Lynx, a schooner of three guns,
| with 50 men on board, commanded
j by Lieutenant J. R. Madison, sailed
j from St. Mary’s. Fla., for Jamaica, on
New Year’s day, 1821. She last was|
> sighted on January 22 of that year.
The Wildcat, with three guns and
| thirty-one men, commanded by,
| Lieutenant J. E. Legare, sailed from
I Cuba for Key West in 1824. She is
I supposed to have gone ashore on
Carysfort reef, as an arms chest and
[ other wreckage from the vessel later
j were found there.
Armea wnn eignteen guns ana car
rying a crew of 140 men, the Hornet,
with Commander Otho Norris'as skip ]
per, foundered in a gale off Tampico
on September 10, 1829.
The Sylph, a small naval schooner,
also is believed to have foundered a
few years later, as she never was
heard from after her departure from
port.
The Sea Gull, which left Orange
Harbor for Valparaiso in company with
the Flying Fish on April 28, 1839, lost
her consort one night and is believed
to have sunk in a severe gale, from
which the Flying Fish took refuge
under false Cape Horn.
The Grampus, a schooner of 12
guns, sailed from Charleston, S. C.,
about March 14, 1843, and was due
at Norfolk, Va., between the eighth
and fifteenth of April. In June,
the navy department abandoned all
hope for her safety.
The Jefferson, a steamer engaged
in the coast survey, was lost near
the Straits of Magellan in 1850.
The Albany, a sloop-of-war with 210
men, under command of Commander
J. T. Gerry, sailed from Aspinwall on
j September 28, 1854, for New York.
After a long wait, the steamers Ful
ton and Princeton were sent in search
of her, but no trace ever was discov
ered.
The Levant, also a sloop-of-war with
210 men, under Captain William
Hunt, departed from Hilo, in the Sand
wich Islands, on September, 18, 1860.
Vessels of the Pacific squadron
searched for her many months, but
the only traces ever found were an
oar and broken spar, believed to have
belonged to her.
The only case in recent years of a
naval vessel, other than the Cyclops,
disappearing from the face of the
I sea, is the tug Nina, which officially
t " 1
was t^cl.^rod lost by the department
on'.lTimn 15, 1910. She is believed to
have foundered with all hands in a
gale off the Atlantic coast.
Naval annals also contain the brief
notation telling of the loss of the Re
prisal in 1877. This brig, which was
the first American war vessel to visit
Europe, and which carried across
Benjamin Franklin soon after the
Declaration of Independence, w'ent
down on the Newfoundland banks.
The cook, proverbially, was the sole
survivor.
