port to-day badly disabled. She met the hurri-
cane weather. and the seas stove in the port
holes. The water flooded the hold, tore away
the matches, and caused the ship to list thirty
degrees to starboard. The bunker coal shifted
and pounded the ship SO badly 1t was feared she
would founder. For four days the crew worked
without rest bailing water and trimming the
coal to right the ship. They barricaded tho
broken portfolios with boards and cement. Dur
ing this time the ship was almost helpless and
seas swept over the decks. carrying away all the
deck gear. tearing up a whole section Of the
rail and bulwarks. Then the starboard boiler
got out OF order, and the water gained despite
all efforts until 1t reached the footplates in the
engine room, when the boiler was repaired and
reduced the water again. During this period
mono of the crew ever expected to see land
again.
Lifeboats were provisioned ready to launch II
the pumpe gave out. Nobody aboard the ship
took of bis clothes or ate a warm meal. Many
of the crew were frostbitten and all were worn
out by incessant labor. On Saturday tho gale
abated. The ship tried to reach this port but
failed to make the harbOr before dark. Then
she lay to until morning. During the night q
severe Bnowstorm arose and drove her to sea.
She nearly foundored yesterday. but made her
way into port to-day. It 10 thought some of her
plates have started. She Is still leaking badly.
