The Regular Men Went on Strike al Liver
pool and Left the Steamship.
Encountered VIOLENT HURRICANE
0ffcsn Of the lucanla Declare Il Was the Most
vlo'sni They Ever Experienced Nearly AL The
Passengers Were Made SsasIok.

New York. Sept. 1s.-The Cunard
steamship Lucania. from Liverpool.
which arrived off Fire Island at 9:45
Saturday evening. about "A hours late.
reached her docks yesterday nearly 80
hours behind her best record time from
Queenstown, and finished the slowest
passage made by her since she was put
in commission. The primary cause or
the Lucania's tardy trip was the ma
rine firemen's strike at Liverpool which
compelled the company to man the
furnaces OF the great steamer with
boys and inexperienced men picked up
at random on the water fronts OF the
English city. These weakhngs were
ensirely unable TO keep up anything
like a full head OF steam. thereby prac-
tically crippling the vessel.

InsxpsrIenced Flremsn.

Chief Engineer Foulds said yesterday
that practically none of the regular
firemen were on board. owing to the
strike, but instead he had gathered to-
gether 167 men and boys and put them
TO work at the fires. These men did
the best they could, but few had had
any experience and could not keep up
the fires. Time and again during the
voyage engineers had TO turn and clean
fires I'm the furnaces. Had they not
done this the vessel would at times
have practically come to a stop. As it
was the Lucania had 1000 tons of coal In
her bunkers when she arrived, which
could not be put on the fires by the
emergency men. Chief Engineer Foulds
said the Liverpool iremen were de-
manding an advance from "a los. a
month TO &c month. which latter was
as much as some under engineers were
getting. and would never be paid.

Encountered a Hurricane.

To add to her ill-luck, the Lucania on
Thursday last encountered what Capt.
Mckay and his officers agreed was the
most violent hurricane ever met by
them on the Atlantic ocean. At about
noon on the day in question, according
to Capt. Mckay, a fresh breeze sud-
denly sprang up from the southwest,
veering to south-southwest. The ba-
rometer took startling slump. and the
big vessel was put in shape To meet a
gale. bus none of her officers expected
such orm as followed The breeze
continued to strengthen until 3 O'Clock,
when II assumed hurricane force, soon
stirring up a tremendous sea
The water deluged the decks and
swept 60 chairs from the promenade
deck, which, owing to the great height
of the vaterline. was never before
reached by any considerable volume of
water. The terrific force OF the wind
lifted the scrd in such quantities as to
produce a Cloud resembling a fog bank,
through which il was impossible to see
a ships length ahead. The vessel was
promptly hove TO. and for three hours
was held at bay by the wind and sea.
The Immense vessel ROLLED and pitched
10 such an extent that the passengers
had to hold on TO their chairs for dear
lif". Various articles were being flung
from one side to the other OF state

most panic stricken until the officers
went among them reassuring the more
timid ones. Down below in the fire

deathly sick.
The hurricane lasted until O'Clock.

ever. moderated by midnight. The Lu-
cania weathered the seas handsomely

FREE TO MILLIONS OF
SUFFERERS.
The New Cure for Kidney, Bladder and Uric
Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know of Swamp.
Root, the great kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph OF
| the nineteenth century; discovered
after years of scientific research by the
eminent kidney and bladder specialist.
Dr. Allmer, and has truly wonderful
powers in curing kidney, liver. bladder
and uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble is responsible for
more sickness and sudden deaths than
any other disease, and is so deceptive
that thousands have it without know
ing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-RoOt and thousands
more who to-day think themselves be-
yOnd help, can be made well by the
use of this great remedy.
Swamp-ROOt has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in pri-
vate practice, among the helpless too
poor to purchase relief, and has proved
SO successful In every case that a spec
lal arrangement has been made bv
winch all readers of the TIMES, who
nave not already it, may have sam
pie bottle sent absolutely free by mail.
Also book telling more about Swamp
Root and containing thousands of tes
tlmonlal letters received from men and
women who owe their very lives, to the
wonderful curative properties of
Swamp-ROot. Be sure and mention
the SMYRNA TIMES when sending your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, n. Y.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need. you
can purchase the regular ffty-cent and
one dollar size bottles at drug stores.

There is more Catarrh in this section
