hadn't felt sorry for the family cf n coal
pr;er who became Insane and Jumped
overboard from , the Maui etanU 1i mlJ
ocean, and If It had not been that she had
a voice that gave her the name of "Bessie
the Lark" In the school In aiaxgow, every
thing might have been different. However,
everything went right and within a few
days. Instead of making beds In the Hotel
Annonla and helping In the linen room at
the hostelry, the young Scotch girl will
bepln an entirely new life.
BesMo.hns been "discovered," and, thanks
to Mrs. Charles Douvllle Cohuin's long
search, she will be given the chance that
she has sought.
The girl's story reads like fiction. She
Is an orphan, born In the County Longford,
Ireland, but taken by her parents to Scot
land when two yetra old. When Bessie
and her sister, Kate, a year her Junior,
wc.ro able to talk they were taught Irish
nrelodles by their father.
The two girls attended a parochial school
Just outside ot Glasgow and here the
sweetness and natural power of their
voices aoon attracted the attention of the
teachers and the children.
After tho death of their father the girls
lived with relatives, but they wanted to
come to America and finally borrowed
money to come to this country. That was
a year ago. The glrla left for New York
in tha Mauretanla. The second day out
ona of the coal passers jumped overboard
i.nd the first cabin passengers decided to
hold a concert, the proceeds of which
would bo given to the widow and children.
One of the deck stewards told those in
charge of the affair that there were a
couple of young girls In the second cabin
whom he had 'heard singing and declared
ther voices to . be equal to any he had

ever heard. The girls were told of tne
concert and I tat object and were willing to
take part. The girls were the last on the
program, and their singing of the old Irish
and Scotch airs aroused more enthusiasm
than any other number.
It happened that Mrs. Charles Douvllle
Coburn was on the Mauretanla. 'Hhe was
titling outside the music room when the
girls sang.
The applause had hardly ded out before
the two girls disappeared toward the sec
ond cabin. Mrs. Coburn decided to hunt
them up the next morning, but that night
the Mauretanla anchored off Quarantine,
and by the time the cabin passengers were
ready to leave the steamer most of those
Jn the second cabin had disembarked.
Ever Blnce then Mrs. Coburn has been
searching for Bessie, and It was not until
a couple of days ago that she found hex.
During the last week Mrs. Coburn, with
her husband and the other members of the
Coburn plavers, have been giving open
al rperfomances on the campus of Colum
bia uaivei....y, tli a proceeds of which were
to go toward founding scholarships In the
college. One day she visited a friend In
the Hotel Ansonla, and while there heard
lomeone singing. There could be no mis
take In the voice, and she at once told
her friend the story.
Together they visited Mr. F. J. Searing,
tha manger of the hotel. When told the
story ho smiled.
"Why, your1 sister, Mrs. Coburn," he re
plied, "must be Bessie McOlynn, who
came here a few weeks ago. I have heard
a lot about her voice,- but never had the
chance to hear her. They ay It Is a won
der." Bess was sent for, and when ques
tioned, very nervously admitted that she
had sung at a concert on the Mauretanla
a year ago.
"Well," said Mrs.' Coburn, "we'll see
what can be done about It, and maybe it
will not be long 1efore we'll hear Just as
much about Bcsslo McGlynn as anyone
else In opera."
Bessie la not quite 21 years old, and
although she sings all the old ballads of
Scotland and Ireland, haa never tried to
study music. Her voice Is. of a deep con
tralto.
"Range?" aho replied, when questioned
on thla part of her musical qualifications,
"I don't know anything about a range,
except the gas range they use here. 1
sing because I love tq and never thought
of singing In public before, except at the
little concerts they used to give at home.
My sister Kate and I always sang at the
benefits In Glasgow, but never for money."
Mrs. Coburn will have some of the beat
known musicians in the city hear Bessie's
Blngtng within the next few weeks. Then
it will be decided on the best method of
aiding her for operatic work.
