for the passengers on board her. The

while making tho passage from Rothesay
to Gourock, met with an accident to
her machinery, and the engineers were
unable to stop her. The captain there
fore took her out into midchannel and
spun round in a circle till the steam
was nearly exhausted, when the runa-
way was headed for Gourock, where she
was secured by ropes and the rest Of
the steam run off. London Graphic.
