pair it, for the Ems is a good sea boat, and when
such vessels as the Sorrento leaving Hamburg
on March 4, come into port unnjured there
can be no fear for the safety Of the Ems. Her
captain was instructed by cable before he left
Bremen, Look out for ice on the North At
lantic." There is no DOUBT that he took an ex-
tremely southern course, which would be much
longer than the ordinary course. When about
900 miles off the British coast the Noordland
sighted the Ems then making full speed west
ward, and In hour passed by the Fms
What course the Ems took after the Noordland
saw her is Of course. unknown. II such steam
ers as the State Of Georgia could come into port
safely with a forward compartment filled with
water there is no reason to have any anxiety
as to the safety Of the Ems. The Ems has
recently been overhauled. and was seaworthy In
every respect when she left Bremen and when
she left Southampton. Fog, Ice and adverse winds
and heavy head seas have probably delayed her
arrival this port, with the greater probability
that some Of her machinery. a part OF which
was new, has been temporarily disabled.
The Ems is a ship of 1882 tons net and OF
5l29 tons gross She Is a four-decker. and was
built In 1884 by j. Elder & Co.. of Glasgow. Scot
land She was last surveyed in NewYork. and
was guaranteed by the underwriters as good for
five years.
The fact that ther- are large fields Of floating
ice and many bergs which have wandered far
south, and in the track of ocean steamers
coming from Northern Europe to New-York, has
given rise TO an apprehension that the Ems has
been delayed by some fateful encounter with
these bergs and foes. This apprehension Is
probably groundless. That some accident 10 the
machinery of the Ems has happened is prob
able. That she or her passengers are In danger
is improbable. The North German Lloyd people
have no fear OF her safe arrival. All vessels at
this season OF the year. and under the circum-
stances of vino and weather. make long pas
sages. The Bohemia for instance, came in six
days behind he. usual time, ana she came In
without having received damage by wind or
wave.
The Essen, which was chartered by the Ham,
burg American Packet Co, is now eleven days
overdue. but advices have been received by the
United States Lloyds stating that she was re-
ported on March IS in the vicinity Of the Azores
1t Is highly probable that in view OF his cable
instructions from this side Captain Reimkasten
with the Ems, has taken a like southerly
course Her compound engines are capable OF
developing 1000 horsepower and she has seven
water-tight bulkheads. Seven water-tight bulk
heads for a steamer of the size Of the Ems
almost insure absolute safety.
There were various inquiries yesterday at the
snip news office OF the United Press and at the
North German Lloyd Office by people who had
friends and relatives on board the delayed
steamer. At both places they were assured that
there was no for alarm and that the
Ems would in all human probability come into
port right side up and with care" The detours

nave been obliged to make, at least a partial
explanation for the delay Of the arrival Of the
steamer.
winter overhauling. Every part Of her hull and
her machinery examined at Bremen and
all defects were supposed to have been corrected
Some parts Of her machinery put in new
and II is thought by those who are experts in
mechanical engineering that it may be that the
new parts did not work smoothly. and that that
Is a reason Of the steamers long delay 1t Is
probable that with ship well constructed as
was the Ems at least two water-tight compart-
ments might be filled and the ship be able to
get into port There is hardly a possibility that
such a contingency has arisen. and any minute
may see her signal lights flashing off the signal
towers Of Sandy Hook or Fire Island.
The passenger list of the Ems was sent over
here by fast mail steamer and 1t is as follows:
