FOR lOSSTNa NINA
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 19. Beeaus be
was five minutes late and did n.t re
port fojr duty on ths naval tug Nina,
which has been given up as lost with
al her crew, H, 0. Gehardt, quarter
master in the United e.tates Navy, is
locked up in the brig, of the receiving
ship Franklin to await punishment
on the charge of overstaying leave.
It was reported that Gehardt told
friends that be believed the Nins anJ
unfit vessel to make the trip to 'Bos
ton and that he haT purposely over
stayed his leave. He is reported to
uave said that the Nina had some
trouble with her valves; declaring that
they had not" been working satisfac
torily, and that she was in no condi
tion to make a tea trip.
Gehardt is said to have notified the
commander of the tug that she was
unseaworthy, but that the captain
told him to go about his business, in
forming him that he (the captain)
had charge of the Nina, and that il
there were any repairs to be mad
they would be made at Boston.
, According to Ben Brant, chief mas
ter of arms in charge of the prison.
ars in the brig, it was said that Ge
iiardt had been to Norfolk on short
leave the day before the tug sailed,
after having been detailed as one ol
ber crew to make the. trip to Bo.
ton, but that be fell asleep on the
ferryboat coming from .Norfolk, and
made several trips back. and forth
across the river before he was awak
ened by one of the ferry attendants. .
When he went aboard the training
ship the naval tng had just started
on her fatal journey. 'His place had
been taken by another man from the
Franklin, and when b put in an
appearance- before Imi officer' ef the
deck lie. was ordered locked up in the
brig.
Ben Brant said he knew nothing ol
Qehardt's warning to the captain of
the Nina that she was unseaworthy,
but it is stoutly afflrimed by one of
the prisoner's mates, who said that
Qehardt had told him of it, and of
the reply made by the Nina's master.
