Rough Experience of the Steamer Kali
ser wilhelm Der Crosse.


New York, De. 27.-The giantess Of
ocean liners, the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, OF the North German Lloyd
line, arrived from Bremen day late.
She brought over 48l cabin and 393
storage passengers. The passengers
told OF terrible experience. From
Cherbourg she met gale after gale. a.
On the third day out from Cher
bourg, while heavy sea was running
and nearly all of the passengers were
seasick in the berths. the ships ma
chinery was suddenly stopped. Some
Of the officers thought the mahcinery
had broken, others that the engines had
gone to pieces, and still others that the
rudder was disabled. After the ponder
GUS vessel was hove to she began to
drift. For eight hours she was adrift
till she was 30 miles ont OF her course
when she started again.
The facts in the case are that on the
evening OF the 10th the head OF the
main boiler was wabbling. lnvestiga-
tion showed that one Of the steel bands
had broken off. To prevent the boiler
from vibrating and possible explo-
sion. II was necessary to draw the fire,
stop the ship and allow the parts to
cool. Captain Englehart laughed when
the idea OF danger in connection with
the break was mentioned.
