FINE run OF THE FUFBsT BISMARCK.
Crippled and storm battered the Zaandam, the
Netherland-Amercan Line steamship, came lluip-
Ing into port yesterday morning s"ven days over
due. For exactly that number of days she has
been wallowing and rolling and pitching on the
Atlantic, with patched up engines ready to give
out at every plunge that she took into the trough
Of the sea. Ii was weary voyage, and many
times the unfortunate men on the crealling com
planning ship, watched with envious eyes the
lights Of some great liner sweeping by them In
the night, while they crept slowly on, barely
making hcadway against the great seas and the
bowling gales.
The Zaandam sailed from Amsterdam with much
cargo, hut without passengers, on October 20.
On October 81 she sailed from Il ulognc. That
wns the last that WAS heard Of her for some
trnr, and when she failed TO arrive here people
became anxious Then the Red star steamship
Pcnnland came In, herself showing signs Of rough
handling by the ocean, and reported that shc
had seen the Zaaudam disabled 900 miles ont.
On Friday the Trave reported that she sighted
her 400 miles ont on November 0. The Iaandam
broke down on November 4, in latitude i537
and longitude 1880. For days her engines had
been under n tremendous strain. as the ship went
