NEW YORK, Dec. 8l.-Ths long overdue
Cunard steamer Umbria, sighted OF Fire
island shortly after midnight. arrived on
quarantine at 80 this morning, and after
inspection steamed slowly up the bay to
the dock. She had 3s5 passengers on
BOARD about equally divided between FIRST
and second cabin and steerage. All on
board are well. Gallant Captain Mckay
had brought the fine steamer and ali ON
board safely through terrific gales, though
disabled, and, amid the thanks Of the pas
senRers and noisy greeting of steam
whistles from vessels In the harbor,
brought her to sno dock. II is IL days
since she left Queenstown. the longest
time on record for crack ocean racer.
Ihough the weather was tempestuous
most of the time from tho beginning OF
the voyage, all went well until the after
noon u Dec. %, when fracture was dis
covered in tho shaft and the machinery
Was stopped OIL the banks of Newfound-
iand, and Engineer Tomlinson set about
the difficult task Of repairing the break.
After drifting u hours the steamer
Bohemia OF the Hamburg American line,
bound from Newport to Bremen,
hove In sight, and in response to sig
mails for tow, turned about, attached
big steel bauscr to the Umbria
and begun 10 tow her to her destination.
Inc weather was extremely rough, and In
the night, after towing tho disabled vessel
s5 miles, the hawser broke and the vessels
parted company in tho darkness. When
lay dawned over the Umbria the Bohemia
, was nowhere to be seen. After drifting
three JASs to the southeast, she started
again with the old machinery aud came on
In line weather at half speed to her destina-
| tion.
| The hrst intimation the passengers
had thu. there had been On accident was
after dinner on Friday, although the en-
Rine5r had been watching the shaft with
an 'dety for 4s hours and the machinery
'sas twice stopped the previous night for
inspection of the flaw in the great steel
casting. Tho steamer came to o stand
still during the dinner hour on Friday and
a little later Captain Mckay entered the
smoking room, announcing to the gentle-
men the fact OF the breakdown and
added: "The ship Is in no danger"
The announcement put q damper on
the spirits Of the passengers. most Of
whom had been looking forward to spend
ing Christmas In their own homes. The
