TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT SEA.
HALIFAX, April 10.-The steamer Not
tinghin, from New York April for Lon
don. put in here after terrible experience
at sea. On the Tuesday evening after sail
ing the gale began, which ragged through
out the night, becoming cyclone on We'd
nesday morning, when the ship was thrown
on her beam ends. The two days follow |
ing the hurricane prevailed. The mlZzen .
boom was torn away, and dashed against !
the skylight of the engine room, into which |
the boom and glass fell, seriously injuring |
three engineers. All the doors of the deck |
houses were burst, the rooms Quilted, the |
galley wrecked and great part of the |
ships provisions carried away. Thirty
three feet of solid steel bulwarks were
swept INTO the sea and thirty more feet
damaged. Stanchions were torn from
their fastenings as if they were scantling.
Multitudinous seas drowned the fires and
threatened to overwhelm the ship. For
forty-eight hours the snip was still on her
beam ends, and the pumps
were choked. The men kept bail:
ing, but were only able to
! keep the water from gaining. The live
stock in the holds were swimming about all
this time and having no fodder. On Fri
| day morning the men went in body to
| Capt. Bennett and demanded to be taken
| into port, or have the ship abandoned. The
! demand was impossible, as ths water in the
engine room prevented making the tires
and only two boats were left
| On Friday night the weather mod
| Grated and on Saturday the storm
! subsided. The ship being light, the water
was quickly reduced and steam raised, and
| as soon as the ship got under way she
r1ghted. Examination showed thirty-foUr
| bulIocks and six sheep lost, OF 134 head of
| cattle and 1919 sheep on board. The re-
| mainder of the cargo Is in good order, e1-
| cept about 100 tons washed overheard.
! The cattle and sheep are likely to be sold
here, and the ship will repair damages.

which fell steadily for several hours.

i buildings saved the bulk of their property.
Westminster having no water supply its
| fire department consists of one chemical
engine and hook and ladder truck, and
utterly useless in such copiagratlon.

| Warfeld, Robert Goodwin and Hanson
| Dorsey have been arrested for setting frs
{ ! to the stable while engaged III q game OF
3 cards. The coroners jury say the stable

) | the parties arrested. Owing to fears OF
lynching the prison is strongly guarded.
