SLOW TRIP OF THE ST. LOUIS.
The Delay in Her Return Voyage Due
to an Accident 10 Her Rudder

New York, June 22.-The American line
steamer St. Louis arrived home from her
maiden trip abroad this afternoon. Her
delay which caused disappointment to
everyone. who looked for her arrival YES
terday with an ocean record from South
ampton TO her credit, was caused by an in
jury to her rudder. which made it neces-
sary to steer her. the greater part of the
voyage. with the propellers. This method
OF steering necessitates the fire.
quent slowing own Of one or
the other of the twin screws
and hence much loss of propelling force.
The break consisted of a cracked rudder
stock, extending upward and outward
from the rudder post through a portion of
the inch and a half plate which consti-
tutes the main surface of the rudder; and
rendered il so weak that il was deemed
advisable to dispense with its use. The
rudder, made of massive forgings and
steel plates, weighs q tons. Had it been
used in its weakened condition and its
parts become entirely severed. its broken
portions. besides being an ungainly drag
would have been a source of danger to the
plates of the steamers hull.
1t was 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning,
the 18th inst, when the St. Louis was
three days out, that the accident occurred.
1t made itself apparent at once to the
helmsman on the bridge. and the steamer
was slowed down for examination.
y. p. TOwne. chief engineer of the
Cramps, the builders, was aboard, and
he was able to see the break by looking
over the taffrail. 1t was just above the
upper pintel which supports the rudder
and about half way between the water
line and the overhang of the stern. There
was no evidence to the passengers that
anything unusual had happened. The
news leaked out among them that the
steering gear was injured. but the vessel
proceeded along at so good a speed, and
apparently under perfect control, that it
was a cause of no anxiety.
