machinery broken. Took her in tow ant
towed her for eight hours, when the line
parted; lay by her for tSenty-eight hours
when the steamer Samaria, from Halifax,
came up and took the Berlin in tow.
=, Vile de Alger says About . A. VI. the
lights OF the City OF Berlin were sighted
this was in the latitude, 4l' So north
longitude, 570 81" west. The signals wert
made on the City Of Berlin. She was dis
abled and wanted 10 be taken in tow fol
New York. The Vile de Alger went
nearer, when boat was lowered and an
officer from the City OF Berlin came on
board. He said the screw shaft of his
vessel had broken a few days before, and
since that time she had been under sail
The City of Berlin at the time was drifting
southwark, and there was small hope o.
her reaching this city, unless the wind
Captain Lemarce, OF the Vile de Alrer
declined TO attempt 10 tow her to port as
he had not sufficient coal. Then it was
proposed to take the disabled vessel into
Halifax. A length OF cable was run out o.
the hawser holes on the stern OF the Vile

made fast hawser from the City OF Ber.
lin at the end. The former vessel started
ahead, the sea was smooth but the City d
Berlin being large vessel after she had
been towed for nearly nine hours the
hawser parted. It was then determined
that the Vile de Alger should remain neal
the City OF Berlin until the following
morning before taking her in tow again
Early the next day the steamer Samaria
from Boston for Liverpool, was sighted
and she being more powerful vessel il
was agreed that she should tow the City Of
Berlin into Halifax.

towing the City OF Berlin, as she should
have reached Halifax before this time. The
City OF Berlin has ninety-five cabin anC
400 steerage passengers. Among the forme!
is Jacob Schafer, the billiard player.
