BROKE A THRUST SHAFT
AMERICAN LINER NEW YORK BE-
LATED AT SOUTHAMPTON.
Met with an Accident Last Tuesday
and Was Forced to Proceed
SlowIy-Ohicers Praised.

SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 2S. j a. m.-The
American line steamer New York. Capt.
w. ]. Roberts, from New York, Sept. 10.
for Southampton, arrived here last evening
at 10 o'clock, about 17h hours late. Captain
Roberts reported that the steamer had
broken her starboard thrus shaft on Tues
DAY at 2:30 a. m. The accident will not in
~terfere with her return voyage, as the
company has a spar on the ship. and she
will leave Southampton at noon on Sunday.
Mr.. William HARPER. of Philadelphia. was
a passenger on the liner. He made this
statement to the correspondent of the As
sociated Press: after a fair passage 1
discovered. very early Tuesday morning,
that a shaft was broken. but 1t was
Wednesday morning before the passengers
were aware of the nature of the trouble.
The steamer was then proceeding slowly
until the broken shaft could be discon-
nected. At this time we were about $40
miles from the Lizard. There had been con-
siderable sea all night. and the New York
was rolling heavily. On Wednesday night
the sea increased and the weather had be-
come so thick. While we were passing the
Lizard. hat Captain Roberts decided to
put out TO sea and not to attempt to go up
the channel. The steamer remained from
eighteen TO twenty miles outside until the
evening, when the weather cleared and she
proceeded slowly for Southampton.
while the fracture proved a very seri-
Gus one. IL was. fortunately, discovered be-
fore any actual reakage occurred. This
prevented graver disarrangements of the
machinery The engineers declare that, had
the actual breakage occurred while the
steamer was going at full speed. very seri-
Gus results might have ensued. AS IT was,
there was but little excitement on board
and but for the slowing up the passengers
would have been ignorant of what had
happened"
All the passengers speak In the highest
praise of the conduct of the captain and Of
ficers of the liner. They gave them a vote
of thanks before landing.
