DAYS OF HORROR ABOARD SHIP.
Three Hundred and Fifty Horses
Killed on Transport Siam.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA. - Additional
particulars of the terrible trip of the trans
port Siam from this port to Manila have
been received here. The Siam left here
Aug 19 with nearly four hundred horses for
the army in the Philippines. All went we'll
between here and Honolulu, where stop
of ten days gave the horses an opportunity
TO recover from the voyage. The vessel
left Honolulu Sept. 6, and on the 18th ran
into typhoon. losing three horses. Good
weather followed until Oct. 1, when ter
rifle typhoon was encountered near Guam,
four days from Manila.
The storm broke at o'clock in the morn
ing AT the first roll of the vessel the horses
stampeded. Wave after wave crashed over
the decks Of the steamer, throwing the ami
mails about, breaking their legs and other
wise manning them. The scene was fright
ful and IL was impossible for the men on
the ship to do anything with the terrified
horses. The vessel was uncomfortable, and
ii was next TO impossible for any one to
stand on deck, it was so slippery with blood
and debris. Three hundred and fifty horses
were killed and they remained on deck for
four days before the bodies could be disposed
of. Thousands Of sharks followed the ves-
sci. being attracted by the stencil and the
possibilities OF a feast. The vessel was
blown one thousand miles out of her course
and was off the Formosan coast when the
storm blew itself out.
