BUTLER, cor W: Death of Ex-Chief En the Navy. Gecrge W. Walt, a well-known marine engineer, died on Saturday at his home in Brooklyn. He was sixty-eight years old and a native of Scotland, In the war he was chief engineer of the United States man-of-war Monticello, commanded by Commander, now Rear Admiral, Braine, He supervised the cutting of the chains across the Mississippi river, which obstruct- ed the entrance of the Union vessels to bombard New Orleans. After the city was taken Gen. Butler or- dered Commander Braine to take the Mon- ticello dow the river as a transport for troops. The vessel had been disabled in the fight, and word was sent back that she could not go. m, Butler ordered Commander Braine and Engineer Wait to be strung up at the yardarm, While preparations were making for this Gen. Butler went on board the ves- fel and, going up to Walt, asked him why he had not obeyed the order. Wait replied that to do so would imperil the life of every man on ‘as the vessel had been badly disabled. n. Butler then asked how lorg it would take to make repairs, and was told about forty-eight hours. He then ordered repairs to be made, and said that if the vessel was not under way in the specified time the en- gineer would swing from the yardarm. The vessel was made ready and started on time. In recent years Engincer Wait was chief engineer of the Pacific Mail Steamsh! Company.

Laurent ayerted what might have been a serious accident. The Champagne, one of the best steamers of the French line, left Havre a week ago lest Saturday. She had smooth weather, and off the banks of Newfoundland a thick fog rolled up over her course. There was a heavy curtain of mist over the water on Thursday afternoon, although the weather Was not disagreeable, Most of the pas- sergers were out on deck. The Champagne was going at about twelve knots an bour, a little more than half speed. The siren of the liner was blowing con- tinuously, and two lookouts were watching intently for vessels in the fog. The vessel Was twelve miles from Cape Race. The practiced ear of Capt. Laurent, who Was on the bridge, caught the sound of a vessel's foghorn, He knew that jt must be @ sailing vessel. > The sound came from over the starboard bow and was apparently not more than LW yards away. The commander lost no time. He caused che helm to be put hard aport and signaled for the engines to be reversed. As the Champagne moved nearer the pas- Sengers could make out the outlines of @ bark heading eastward. The wind was from the south, and the vessel on the starboard tack was crossing the steamer’s bows, mov- ing at a three-knot rate.
