OLAF wUGLUND's STORY.
Was the Danmark Sent Out in
Bad Condition?


Bad Condition?
NEW YORK, April 23.-Olaf WugIund
was one of the few English-speaking
people in the party. He is florist, and
had been in America before. In con-
versation with reporter this morning,
he made statement which has not yet
appeared in printin connection with the
casualty. He was told that his remarks
were important and detrimental to the
steamship company. but he adhered to
his statement. He said that before the
accident occurred, the date he could
not recall, but thought it was the first
or second of April, one of the Norwe-
gian Immigrants told him that he had
overheard conversation in the officers
quarters. One of the ships officers
had said to the others IN the apartment.
that he thought the vessel would never
reach New York. Her machinery was
i'll bad order and had not received the
care it should have before the steamer
sailed. Her pumps were broken and
in case of an accident would be found
of little service. "Fm afraid the Dan,
mark" the officer is reported to have
said, will meet the fate of the
Geiser." The Gelser was vessel of
the same line, sunk off Nova Scotia by
collision with the Thingvalla about a
year ago. Wuglund further said that
the vessels coal boxes were afire on two
occasions before her machinery gave
out. The first fire occurred about 10
O'Clock on the night of the goth of
March, and the second about $50 in the
afternoon of the following day. The
passengers heard of both fires, and
showed more uneasiness over the COM
paratively slight accidents than when
the vessel became totally disabled.
Wuglund was loud in his praise of the
captain and crew of the steamer Mis-
souri,, which rescued the Danmark's
Messengers
