NEW YORK, Nov. 19-One man killed
and five injured is the record of the trip
of the Cunarder Etruria. which arrived at
her dock last evening, after a voy age of
little over seven days Of terrible weather,
during all OF which the passengers re.
NAMED in their cabins, badly frightened
ana suffering great discomfort 1t was
one of the toughest experiences that the
Etruria's officers have ever known. The
passengers express some displeasure over
the fact that the speed Of the vessel was
never slackened, and the time made was
nearly up to the racing standard. The
officers on the other hand say that this
complaint il unreasonable, as the rate
Of speed has nothing to do with the
comfort or safety OF those on board during
heavy gales and seas. On Tuesday
afternoon . greater wave than any yet en-
countered, was seen approaching. Tho
| seamen uttered cries Of warning and ut.
tempted to seek places of safety, but when
the mountain of water fell with crash
upon the vessel, the men were swept in
heap against one of the deck houses.
When the water receded it was found that
George w. Ornald, an able seaman Of
Liverpool, was fatally crushed and
bruised. He died soon afterward. Sea-
men Murphy and Maetta and two others,
names not learned, and a steerage passen.
ger named Colt, were cut, bruised and
famed. All were cared for by the ships
physician. The officers of the vessel
are reticent, and the attempts OF
the reporters to obtain the particulars of
the trip were met with some exhibition of
ill-temper. Among the passengers were
George Mason and Archie Sinclair, the
English pedestrians who came to take part
in the six days walk at Madison Square
Garden. Mason is the man who beat
Charlie Rowell and much is expected of
him. Signor Del Puente, the baritone,
was also a passenger.
The White Star steamer Republic also
reports very heavy weather. Her passen-
gers speak highly of the management Of
the vessel. Among her passengers were
Sir Roderick Cameron and family. Hon.
Mrs. n. w. Murray and Mrs. ID. 8. Apple.
