AFTERA TEMPESTUOUS VOYAGE.
tho ship to Keep the Engines
Going.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, March T.
Special.-The British steamship Istrian.
OF the Furness line. arrived here to-day
from Liverpool. after a tempestuous voy-
age. during which her coal supply was
completely exhausted. She sailed from
Liverpool on January 2ith. and should
nave reached this port by February 9Th.
After leaving Liverpool the Istrian en-
countercd strong westerly winds. accom-
PANIED by "A Lcavy sea. which lasted until
FEBRUARY lst. On that day the wind in
creased to terrific gale. which continued
for twenty days. The waves piled up TO
mountainous heights, and at times the
decks were buried under the seas. The
ship was driven far out Of her course, and
her coal gradually diminished.
on February 9th she stopped TO save
coal. and did not start on her way again
until February 10Th, when the weather
moderated slightly. She encountered an
other fierce gale on February I'd, ana
was compelled to heave TO again, being
400 miles from Bermuda, with less than
one days supply of coal This was
soon exhausted, when she again started
on her course, thirty hours late. Inc
crew were set to work, chopping up ell
the available woodwork, including bulk-
heads, spare matches, cattle fittings ana
a portion of the deck.
In this way the fires under the boilers
were kept up until the ship anchored at
Bermuda, on February 18th. 1t would
have been impossible for her TO go ten
miles further. The lstrian coaled at
bermuda, and left there Sunday morning,
arriving here this morning.
The Captain said:
considering the very severe weather
the Istrian Encountered during this voy-
age, and the fact of her having TO stop
during the worst OF it and not being
under control. proves her to be a staunch
and seaworthy vessel. Notwithstanding
what has been published to the con-
trary. Her cargo is in good condition,
and you can see she is none the worse
for wear. Her engines are good, ana
the chief engineer is worthy OF praise
for the manner in which he handled
her"
