passengers and crew safely. but she brought in
the crew of the abandoned schooner Jessie

Friday afternoon. and with great d.fhculty res

The Teutonic struck heavy weather as soon as
she left Queenstown. and all the way across the
ocean had one Of the most tempestuous trips she
ever made AS she got further to the west
ward the winds and waves increased in violence.
The cold was intense, and the spray which broke
over the vessel froze as II fell. until she was one
mass Of ice. The fra. four days OF the trip are
put down in the ships log as being days Of fresh
gales, accompanied by heavy swells
On Thursday the gale changed TO hurricane
which blew from the west with terrific force.
The steamer struggled bravey against the great
waves and the adverse winds for awhile. and
then as night came on and the weather grew
worse she stood off shore. Her officers and her
passengers had hoped to make port that night.

the ocean IT would have been foolhardy to have

leeway so that when Friday morning dawned

their oars. but unable to make any
siderable headway in the tremendous sea which
was running The boat was finally obliged 10 re-
turn to the ship.
Captain Cameron then steamed around the dis
tressed schooner until he got his big vessel To
windward Of her. thus making lee for the fisher
man. The men on the schooner then launched
their dory and pulled in safety TO the side OF the
