OUT ON The STORMY OCEAN.
The Steamer POmmNIanean Disabled
and Atriit at Sea.
EVIDENTLY AN USLUCKY sii!p.


New YORK, March 23.--The Allan
steamer Pommerancan which left this
port March 10, for Glasgow, Ia disabled
at se,. The news was brought by the
Red Star steamer Belgenland, from
Antwerp.
Captain Ehofi says he met the Pom
meIanean early In tho morning on the
olst. Tho Allen liner displaying
signals OF distress, the course Of the
Belgenland was changed, and az she
drew near the Pommeranean the latter
hoisted lights indicating al am not
under control" The Bolgenland
steamed to within quarter Of
q mile and the Pommeranean followed
up the original slgunls with the In
formation, "Have smashed piston"
and the query, "will you stand by
and tow us?"
70 the latter the Belgcnland replied
that she could not tnke her In tow. IL
was blowing fierce northeast gale aud
there was an ugly toss 10 the aon. The
Belgonland did not remain any longer
In the company OF the disabled craft.
When they parted company tho
Pom,nerancan twas lying 70 with n
little head canvass set. She was any
thing but steady In the heavy sea. The
position Of the vessel when deserted by
tho Belgenland was about 800 miles
southeast Of Cape Sable and 700 miles
east OF Sandy Hook, Captain Ehofi
says his reason for not towing the dis
nbled vessel was thai the rules OF
his company forbid II. His state
ment Is ridiculed In shipping
circles.
ThelPommeranean was formerly the
Grecian Monarch. This Is her FIRST
eastward trip since she was struck by
hurricane on February 4th, which
resulted In the killing OF her captain
aud drowning OF eleven Of her passeE-
gers and orew.'Her commander on this
trip, Captain McCulloch, was the first
officer when the fatal storm occurred.
