Plathush Society Woman Sailed for Europe With Her Sister on May 22 Last'. What promised to be a trip full of pleasure, education and experience to two well known young women of Flatbush, who went abroad on May 22.

has ended in a journey of sadness and sorrow. One of the participants returned hOme last Saturday, bowed with grief and brokenhearted; the body of her sister, her closest friend and companion in life', being due to arrive here on Wednesday of this week. The twain had scarcely set foot on English soil before Death joined the group and the family now insist that the untimely end came through ptomaine poisoning. When the Oceanic swung loose from her pier and majestically moved down the stream and out on the ocean on May 22, It" had aboard the Misses Florence and Julia Matthew MacKenzie of St. Pauls place, Flatbush, daughters of the late William MacKenzie, who, accompanied by their aunt, were bound for a six months' tour of the British Isles and the continent.

The trip across the ocean was a pleasant one and both the young women enjoyed it, especially Miss Fjorence. At Queenstown the boat dropped discharged a part of the "cargo and took aboard milk, fish and other foodstuffs. At the next meal after leaving Queenstown, a part of the menu was oysters with shrimp sauce. All of the Flatbush party partook of this relish with evident delight, as did most of the other passengers. Shortly after the meal Miss Florence MacKenzie complained of feeling ill, but before she left the ship her illness had apparently disappeared.

On June 5, seven days after the party landed and while the Miasms MacKenzie were visiting with relatives at Brayside, AI trlncham, near Manchester, England, Miss Florence was taken ill again and died de spite the work performed by the best physicians that could be summoned. An autopsy was performed and the post mortem examination brought out the fact conclusively, it is said, that death was caused by ptomaine poisoning. Tho cause of this poisoning has, it Is declared, been traced by the family to the shrimp sauce which was served aboard the big vessel while in English waters.
