DISASTER AT SEA.

The Turtle-Back of an Ocean Steamer
Crushed in by Terrific Mass of Water
and Several Persons Killed and Injured.
New YORK. Dec. 3-The steamship
Westerland, which arrived from Antwerp
yesterday morning. experienced very
heavy weather. On November 9Th the
vessel encountered violent hurricane. A
huge sea broke over the bows, STAYING in
the turtle back and killing two Storage
passengers and four seamen. The pas
sengers killed we're Max Frank and Gabe
Livadieri. Twenty seamen and passengers
were injured more or less severely.
Captain Randel, of the Westerland, was
seen at the office of the Red Star Line. He
said: THE accident is unaccountable.
There was a good sea running, but did
not regard it as anything dangerous. I'm
der the turtle-back there was assembled
at the time groups Of sailors and
passengers. Suddenly one of the
waves rushed toward the ship assuming
the form of towering column of water.
Whether cross sea or not, there seems to
be no satisfactory explanation. The mass
of water swept toward the thip with i'm
posing grandeur. and as it struck the vessel
shook as though a mere toy. When the great
column broke over the deck there were
screams of distress. and the vessel was
for moment submerged. When the flood
had passed, a panic prevailed. The thick
iron beams and plates of the turtle back
were broken. Underneath the wreckage
was distressing sight. The shock killed
four sailors. They were crushed in a
shocking manner. Near them lay two pas
sengers. fatally injured, and scattered
about the decks were twenty more
persons more or less hurt, some
very seriously. No more waves came on
board. That nj ght the bodies of the four
dead sailors were given sailors burials.
The next day the two passengers died, and
they. too, were buried at sea-
1t is believed the other injured persons
will recover. Every thing possible has
been done for their comfort.
