visions to ship In distress and the accident to
the propeller The latter caused some confusion
among the passengers There had been heavy
seas, which threw the stern Of the steamer high

pellor snapped into two parts and disappeared. The
engineer told US that the starboard engine was
wrecked beyond repair. because OF its racing

sudden danger. 1t was o'clock IN the evening.
and that made 1t more grewsome, but the splendid
discipline OF the officers and put the fears OF
every to rest The whole furry was over in
twenty minutes. This Is my sixth trip to America.
and I have been to Australia, too, ana the acct
