DISABLED IN MID-ATLAhTIC
The Steamer Sir Garnet WOlseley
Has a Rough Experience.
TOwed Through Heavy Seas by the RHno,
the Lines Parting seven Times-Sep-
arated at Night, but Port
Was Finally Reached.

Halifax. y. s. April 22.-The British
steamer Sir Garnet Wolseley was towed
into port to-day by the steamer RuuO,
which had pulled the Wolseley $50 miles,
occupying nine days.
The tail-end shaft Of the Wolseley broke
In the middle Of TIE Atlantic, $50 p. m,
Thursday, April T. rendering her entire
ly helpless. The steamer carried no sail,
and the break, being in the stern tube,
could not be reached TO make repairs.
The ship was very low in the water, haV-
ing a full cargo OF 1900 quarters Of corn.
The RunO, in ballast, was signaled the
following day, Good Friday, at noon, the
weather being moderate, and at once took
the helpless craft in tow for Halifax.
Heavy weather was encountered by IRE
two ships. and the towing lines parted
seven times no single wire or manila
hawser being found on either steamer
equal 10 the strain. Sometimes the
steamers were separated by darkness
with heavy seas, hut the RunO's cap
tain stuck 10 the task. The last break
was on Thursday, tie 18th instant. Rock
cts were exchanged with the WOlseley
during the night, while the RUnO's crew
worked twisting three eight-inch manila
hawsers together. The end of the ninety
fathoms hawser was passed on board the
Wolseley at noon the next day, and forty
five fathOms of the latteT's chain cable
bent on it to give the required length.
With this connection the remainder OF
the tow was uneventful.
Besides a broken shaft, the Wolseley
suffered severe deck damage by heavy
seas encountered shortly after leaving
Philadelphia. from which port she CLEARED
April lS, for Cork, Ireland. From April 1
10 April a hurricane was experienced.
Moderate weather followed for a week,
and when the shaft broke April i, $50
miles east of Halifax in latitude A, the
weather was still fine. The break was at
once located, and found impossible TO re-
pair \ chain was passed arOl d the
propeller 10 secure it and prev y-ut the
rudder being smashed off, and a sea
anchor put out 10 prevent drifting. A
passing steamer was observed a few
hours later, and a dozen rockets were
thrown up to attract attention, which
failed.
During the interruptions IN the tow by
the Runo, the Wolseley drifted all around
the compass, the Runo following clos sly.
