Roaring weather in the Atlantic piled
IN the taIlest waves ever encountered BY
three many-storied liners that struggled
into port Yesterday. each . day or more
behind winter schedule.
The Celtic OF the White Star fleet, &C
cordinp to Capt. H. st. G. Lindsay. shipped
the frosty spray Of oombers that were sixty
four feet high. That's mighty alitudinous,
and beats au, henticated records All hohoW'
This height, the captain says, means from
the trough to the crest.
The officers of the Cunarder Campania and
the French liner La Savoie ran into the
same sort Of waves that delayed the Celtic,
and while they didn't do any measuring, by
sextant or guess, they declared that the
waves certainly were the tallest ever.
As the bridge Of the Celtic is more than
sixty feet above the water line Capt. Lind
say had a pretty good point Of view from
which to gauge their height.
Throuehout all tn, tumult. 80 deep ana
wide and long is the mighty ship, even
the women passengers were on the prom
enade deck on the widest day Of the voyage,
on Tuesday last. when the Celtic logged
only lIe miles. r. Leigh Worsley. q cotton

the ocean forty-four times and was pas
senrer by the Celtic. said:
