BIRMINGHAM, March Sd, 1886.


We arrived home safe, after terrible
experience. We left New York on the
City of Chester, which city will never
forget. will state to you very brief
account of my trip and my experience
during the breakdown of the City of
Chester. The vessel left New York on
| the afternoon of the 18th of February,
with mails and passengers. On the fol-
lowing Saturday, the vessel encountered
a terrific storm, in which she lost all
her sails and every one of the life boats.
The engine fires vert quenched and the
intermediate compartments and saloons
were flooded by the enormous seas,
which broke over her. The inferno
date cabin passengers were transferred
to the saloon and every effort was made
to repair the damages. AT noon on the
Dist, when the gale was at its height, the
vessel was thrown on her beam ends, the
cargo was shipped, and nine feet of the
lower portion of her rudder was carried
off. The waves were now sweeping the
decks, everything on which was smashed
and carried away, and the steamer was
in very critical position. Seventy-five
tons of cable were shipped to the star
board side to steady the vessel. and her
head was put to sea, but she plunged so
heavily that her gibboom and figure
head, together with the main-top mast
were carried away. The next day the
weather moderated and the Citg of
Chester was eventually fallen in with
and towed into Queenstown. Several
and one sailor lost his life. We were
seventeen days making the trip from
New York to England; so you see we
have had most terrible voyage. On
Sunday, at midnight, l was washed
deep into the water, and was not taken
out until IL o'clock Monday morning.
was ten hours in the water, but did
not feel any effects from cramp or cold,
as the lightning was playing all over
the ship and electrified the water, so that
it was luke warm and filled me with a
sensation of pins and needles, similar to
that produced by an electric battery.
We drifted with no ridder; could not
steer the ship, so we rolled in the
trough of the sea and did not know
whether we would see land again or not
The storm did not abate for twelve days,
but was one continuous hurricane.
Many ships were wrecked and passed
helpless. After first sighting land a
dense fog came on and we were again
at the mercy of God, storm
current Tor thlrty-SlX hours, when the
good old ship struck on a rock, and l
thought this time we were gone for good.
When the fog suddenly moved away,
and we saw that we had drifted up the
coast about ten miles, we were glad
dened by the arrival of help, in the
shape of a tug, which towed US in safety
off the rocks, and we landed at
Queenstown all right. We spent
eight no rs on the shore of
old Ireland, when we were transferred
to the City of Berlin and taken to Liver
pool, where we anchored safely at I
o'clock on Sunday morning. l don't
know how long it will take us to get over
our journey. Respectfully,
SAMUEL GOULD.
