Cspecial.)-The British steamship Kappa
hammock. which encountered the North
German steamer Ems during her rough
voyage from Bremen to New YORK iast
month, arrived at this port at O'CLOCK
last evening. Captain Penwil, OF the
Rappahannock, furnished your correspon-
dent with the following account Oh TINS

10th OF March and had fair weather until
the 22d. when we encountered severe
hurricane, and had TO bring the snip 10
for twenty-seven hours. on SATURDAY at

ship kept her course. About dark that
evening we sighted large steamer show

too dark TO answer We slowed our en-
gines and remained by all night, showing
blue lights at intervals. Daylight sun

gale with heavy sea, we bore GOWN on
the steamer, and foundf her 70 De the

the day the wind and sea increased ana

Captain PenwilI states that during the
twcnty-thrse hours he laid by this steam
er Il was impossible 20 get line from one
ship TO the other, and that he carried
heavy gale for forty-eight hours AFTER
leaving the Ems.
The CAPTAIN states that II is all very
well for people to sit on dry land and say
that they would have done 50 ana So
but when a ship of his size, with a deck

Captain Penwill wishes me 10 add that
during the time he lay by the Ems the
sea was so heavy that on several occa-
sions the ships were not visible 10 each
other. Says h, stayed with the Ems as
Ions, as possible and IL is foolish for peo-
pie to think he would allow 600 or 100

10 assist this ship. During his twenty
five years as a seaman he never expert
enced such a storm.
