The New York Times, March 27, 1898

SS La Hesbaye reports that on March 11, lattitude 49.50, longitude 9, it spoke Brigatine Industrie (of St. Malo) in the channel,for Bordeaux, short of provisions, and supplied her.
On the 19th, in latitude 44.41, longitude 44,08, she passed within one-quarter of a mile of a waterlogged vessel, bottom up, with stern about six feet out of water, apparently some time in that condition; rudder and stem post had the appearance of being recently broken by being struck by a vessel. The wreck is a very dangerous obstruction to navigatlon.
