Chief Engineer Kiersted's Opinion of
the Boat.

New YORK, May 10.
The New York Tribune prints an inter-
view with Chief Engineer Kiersted, who was
on beard the Dolphin yesterday, as an ex-
pert of the naval board, to take her horse
power. Kiersted is quoted as saying in re-
gard to the heated journal which made the
trial trip failure:
The trouble was undoubtedly due to the
fact that the nuts in the bolts through the
head Of the crank had been screwed down too
tightly. The test was intended to demon
strate her capability of sustaining 2300 horse
power for six consecutive hours. She is a
fast boat and has fulfilled the requirement of
speed with much less horse power. This ac-
cident of heating crank pin is liable to
happen to any engine. and might do so to
engines built by John Elder who built those
of the Esmeralda which is spoken of so
much.
The Tribune says that when the vessel was
obliged to stop on the trial trip last week she
had been steaming nearly two hours an.
swering every requirement and at that time
she developed 2400 horse power or 100 more
than the board expected,

TERRIFIC STORM.
An Interesting Sketch Given Of a steamer
Surglng ON the Briny Deep.

BOsroS, May 10.
A letter received in this city from Capt.
Pray of missionary steamer Morning Star,
gives a graphic account of the terrible wealth
er which the steamer encountered in the At
lantic ocean.
When two days out from this port terri
BILE gale came up with q tremendous sea. A
close reefed foretopsail was the only sail
that could be used and the steamer was run
before the gale. The heavy seas continually
boarded her, filling the vessel with water and
wetting everything on board. The danger OF
laundering at last became so imminent that
all hands we're set to work throwing coal
overheard, and after about IL tons had been
cleared away the ship behaved better.
At one time the ship was put head to the
wind, but she could not be kept there, the
tremendous seas washing fore and aft, and
she was again got before the wind. After
three days the gale subsidized.
