ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE THE SHIP.

The Deck Fixture. Are swept Away
and u Dozen Seamen Disabled-The
Heavy Ironwork Was Twisted Out OF
shape and the Lifcboats swept Into
the Raging Sea.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The steamship
Rhynland of the Red Star line. which
has arrived here from Antwerp had an
exciting experience with tidal wave
off the n G vfoundland banks on the
night of Dec. 10, which will long be re-
membered by her passengers and crew.
Shortly after midnight the officer on
the bridge made out a huge noonllt
wave, running about 80 feet high less
than u ships length ahead on the star
board bow of the vessel.
He shouted to the sailors on deck to
run to cover and attempted to reach
the cabin himself but before he had
gone dozen yards the crest OF the
wave swept completely over the steam
ship carrying away the deck fixtures
and disabling II dozen seamen. The
impact of the great mass OF water was
so terrific that the vessel trenbled and
came to full stop. The heavy IRON
work on the deck was twisted out of
shape and the ifeboats were swept away
us though they were feathers.
Fifteen of tho sailors were rendered
unconscious and 10 sustained fractures
which will keep them in the hospital
for weeks.
1t being midnight all the passengers
We're below. When they were Awakened
by the shock panic ensued in the
cabins and steerage, which, however,
was soon allayed by the officers, and
after the injured sailors had been re-
moved to their berths. the ship pro-
ceeded on her way, arriving without
further incident.
