Christmas Day passed without any dem
onstration of discomfort among the pas
sen9ers. just at dusk a light was sighted
t. the southwark, and again the passen-
gers fOckUd on deck. Rockets were fired,
and soon the light that at first seemed to
fade away began to grow more and more
distinct, and in half All hour a small
steamship lay alongside In answer to
tAe Umbria's signals the new conner re-
ported that she was vessel Of the Wilson
line, bound for Philadelphia, and that she
could not take the Otner i'll tow beca1s
she did not have coal enough, with which
pleasing Information she signaled good by
and departed
From the hour her time was taken at
noon Friday until she broke down that
evening, the Umbria had made ia miles.
She drifted twelve miles to the southeast
during the night, and the Bohemia lowed
her saventy-live miles toward New York
On Sunday. At noon Monday she had
drifted forty-two miles, and the gale was
still blowing.
just after luncheon on Monday a
steamer was sighted proceeding west
ward. In answer to the Umbria's signals
She came alongside, and proved to be the
Manhuuset, bound from swansea to New
York, the property of James NJ. Caldin

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The long overdue
Umbria OF the Cunard line, arrived off
the bar at $3.50 a. m. Saturday. All were
well on board. 1t was twelve aud half
days since the steamer Lad left Queens
town, and the trip was the longest on rec
ord for a crack ocean racer
story OF tho Trip
The first intjmation the passengers had
that there had been an accident was after
dinner Friday Dec. 90, although the
engineer had been watching the shaft
with anxiety for forty-cight hours, and
the machinery had twice been stopped
during the previous night for an inspec-
ton of the flaw in the great steel casting
During dinner Friday the steamer came
to II standstill, which caused some speuu-
lation among the passengers though, as
the weather was rough, it was not at once
perceived that the machinery was not in
notion.
About 80 o'clock in the evening Cap
Mckay came into the smoking room
"Grutltmcn," he said, II am very sorry to
inform You that we bay. broken our shaft
and shall he unable to proceed at present
l shall, however, accept a towing offer
from any vessel large enough that comes
within hNiling distance"
The conditions that confronted the com
pany on the Umhra were not entirely
Rleeful. In the first place, the idea of
reaching home by Christmas day, which
so many cherished, WAS out of the quas-
ton, and then there was the possibility of
drifting out of the ocean roadway aud the
track of other vessels so that it might be
even weeks before port was reached. The
big steamship lay disabled in lat AZ IS and
long. - II, about 200 miles from Halifax
and 800 miles from New York, with Il
heavy gale blowing.
Nevertheless, there was no actual dan
ger on board, and almost every passenger
on board accepted the situation cheerfully.
There wa, very littie cUmmotion when the
ladies' We're Informed of their situation.
They took it az calmly as the men.
Tho Principal Anxiety
Of every one, indeed, was on account of
relatives and friends at home. The
UIbria had sighted only two ships since
leaving Queenstown, and it might be a
week or even two weeks before she was re-
ported.
Chief Steward Gore said there was
enough provisions on board to last for
three weeks more without any one being
i'll the slightest degree stinted, or even for
four or five weeks with the deprivation OF
few luXuries. Very few of the pHssen.
gers remained up much later than WAS
their wont on Friday night, although
they fully realized that they were drifting
hrlplesS' y in mid-ocean in a storm. OIL
was poured upon the water through the
drainage pipes of the ship, and she was
quivter than while the machinery was il
motion.
just after daylight those who were
asleep were awakened by several reports
from the Cmbria's gun and the sound OF
ltr whistle In ten minutes almost
everyone was on deck to ascertain what
was the matter.
Ship Was in Sight,
just on the edge of the horizon, bound
eastward. For half an hour, durinl

a Ship Was in Sight,

just on the edge of the horizon, bound
eastward. For half an hour, during
which time the gun was continually dis
charg ii and the huarse whistle blown, it
was impossible to detect whether or not
the other boat had seen or heard the Inn
hria's signals, Il, during the entire voyage
she had si4naled but two other vessels,
aud the passengers felt that it was almost
too much luck that help should be at
hand so soon after the breakdown.
Soon, however, it was seen that the new
conner was making toward the drifting
ship, and at o'clock she was alongside.
She proved to be the Bohemia, remem-
lercd in connection with the cholera scare

American line bound from New York to

could do to drag her big burden in the

snowstorm sprang up, which obscured
the lights of the two vessels from each

broke i'll a violent gale, aud on Christmas
morning the passengers Of the Umbria
found themselves again airlft in a raging

and sea. W hat became of the Bohemia

PANAMA RAILROADS TARIFF.

Merchants OF Colombia Complaining
That 1t shuts Out Pacific Mail.
PANAMA, March 26.-[New York Herald
Special. There is great dissatisfaction
among the merchants of Panama over the
high rates exacted by the Panama railroad
for transporting merchandise brought by
the Pacific Mail steamships. The steam
ships bring American goods and provis-
ions from New York to Colon for 81 per
ton. For transporting the same goods
from Colon to Panama, the railroad
charges seven to twelve times as much as
the steamship. The rate for provisions
across the isthmus is $14 per ton, for mer-
chandise SIG. for condensed milk $24,
when these goods are brought into port by
the Pacific Mail steamers. These excessive
rates make the competition between the
Pacific mail and the new steamship line.
which works in conjunction with the rail-
road, impossible. Local newspapers de-
nounce the unjust competition. The Star
and Herald says the refusal to grant
through bills of lading and exaction of
local rates on cargoes brought by the
Pacific Mail makes it impossible for the
company to carry freight between New
York and San Francisco. The new COM
pany therefore enjoys q monopoly of the
California trade.
