French Liner lowed Into Hal
flax After a Terrible Ex-
perience at Sea.
Disabled Engines Left the Yes.
sci Entirely at the Mercy
of the Elements.
Passengers Panic-Stricken and
the Greatest Excite- |
ment Prevailed.

HALIFAX, N. S., March /. - The
French liner La Champagne, with her
$50 passengers on board, has arrived in
port after terrible experience at sea.
After drifting for five days on the
Newfoundland banks with her engines
disabled and the screw shaft shattered,
the great Boston. bound freighter Ro-
man from Liverpool came along, picked
her up and brought her into Halifax
without further mishap of consequence.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press boarded La Champagne just as
the anchor was dropped. The saloon
presented an animated scene, as the
passengers were eager to learn what
anxious friends in New York had
thought of the detention of the steam
ship. "@%
Left Havre on Feb. IL.
La Champagne sailed from Havre on
Feb. 10. All went well until the 18th.
The ship was steaming fast against the
head seas, when suddenly tremen-
dous crashing sound was heard in the
engine rooms. In an instant panic
seized the passengers and great excite
ment prevailed in the saloons and
among the occupants of the steerage.
The ships passage was stayed and the
heavy poundings shook the whole
craft. Captain Poirot quickly Gained
the passengers and soon after it was
discovered that the tail screw shaft had
broken. The steamer was running at
high speed and the engines flew around
like lightning when the resistance, of
the screw was removed, and before
they could be stopped much damage
was done in the engineroom. An ex-
animation showed that the damage
was irreparable, and nothing remained
to be done but anchor.
The Anchor Chains Part.
The passengers and crew were hope
full of being sighted by some passing
steamer, but a thick fog sprang up,
blighting their hopes. The steamer
kept up continual fire of guns and
discharge of rockets, but no answer
came to their signals, and on Friday

either to make land or to sight a pass
ing steamer. That night a fierce gale
rose and heavy seas dashed against the
big steamer on the banks. After mid
night the gale increased in fury and
the anchor hawser parted with a snap
and the ship drifted southwark. The
situation was critical in the extreme.
The current drove them southwark at
the rate of so miles daily, veering again
to the southwest. All the while the
steamer kept showing her signals of
distress, but in vain. La Champagne
drifted in this condition from Saturday
morning, Feb, IS, until Wednesday,
the 3d.

BEAUTIFUL MAGIC LAKE.

The Present Which an Earthquake Made
to Tennessee.
Reelfoot lake, which lies mostly in
Obion county and partly in Lake, is the
largest sheet of water in Tennessee, it
being 40 miles in length and from 8 to
5 in width. 49,.
This lake, which evokes rapturous
comments from even the most indiffer-
ent observer, was formed in few min
utes by an earthquake, which, accord
ing to the best authorities, occurred be-.
tween 2 and 8 o'clock on Saturday
morning, Nov. 16, 1911. There were
two terrific shocks about 80 minutes
apart and many lighter ones between
and after. The earth rocked violently,
a deafening noise like thunder struck
terror to the ear, the atmosphere was
heavily laden with something like
smoke and vivid and almost constant
flashes of lightning illuminated the sur
rounding country, and in less time than
it takes to write it thousands of acres
of land had sunk far below the level of
the mighty Mississippi. 81,
The Father of Waters rushed into
the sunken country, and the suction
was SO great that, for three hours the
river ran up stream, and RATS and boats
below the lake were torn from their
moorings and went whirling into the
seething, maddening vortex. AS soon
as the newly formed lake was filled the
river went majestically on it's usual
course, leaving to Tennessee one of the
finest fishing resorts in the country,
which is annually the Mecca of thou
sands Of sportsmen. - Cincinnati Com
