How the Accident to Her Machinery
ncrurroI

How the Accident to Her Machinery
Occurred.
LONDON, April 22d.-A detailed state
ment OF the Danmark accident has beer
received from First Officer Raben. The
shaft broke on the 4th instant, when ths
vessel rose on the crest of wave. The
shaft broke in the tunnel near the aft END
of the section. and the ragged end con-
nected with the engine tore hole in The
bottom of the vessel, causing another leak
The machinery was completely disabled
and no attempt was made TO mend the
shaft, as II would have been useless, even
if possible.
The vessel at once fell into the trough OF
the sea, but fortunately the after compart.
ment was closed, which kept the water
back. The vessel was put before the
wind. Sail being go up at once and the
route of the ocean steamships was followed
as we'll as possible. Nothing could be done
to free the vessels after compartments, but
the pumps were kept going to keep the
vessel free of water that leak ed in from eft.
The Missouri was sighted on the 9th inst
After the Danmark was taken in tow the
Missouri held on as long as possible. On
the 9th the case was seen to be hopeless
So much water was IN the hold that the
Danmark lost buoyancy. Every time she
went down in the trough of the sea her
passengers thought it would be her last
plunge. The Missouri was stopped and
Captain Knudsen went aboard. After a
short conference Captain Merrel of the Mis-
souri, agreed to iettison a portion of her
cargo and thus allow room between decks
for the Danmark's passengers.
The work of jettisoning the cargo and
transferring the passengers began stimuli
taneously. The passengers were each al
lowed to take reasonable kit of clothing
and personal effects, but it was necessarily
limited, and many lose heavily.
