NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The Netherland steamship Vondam, the old White Star ship, arrived at quarantine this morning from Rot terdam. She had 13 cabin and S4 steerage passengers. From the moment of clearing port to the time of arrival off the lightship at Sandy Hook the vessel was the victim of a series of terrific gales accompanied by im- mense seas. During the height of the storm one big wave swept over the bows and rolling aft with great rapidity smashed the bridge on which the officers stand, broke the guard rails, bulwarks and stanchions and demol- ished one of the Iifeboats. The watch of the vessel was standing forward when the wave washed on board and before the men realized their danger the sea broke in their midst, sweeping all hands toward the port bull warks. One sailor named Chris Peters was killed and another, whose name is unknown, was seriously injured.
