TANK SHIP IN STORM
EHPTIES OIL ON SEA
Six Thousand Barrels of Crude Petro-
leum Quiet Waters and Save
Vessel on Hatteras.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17.-Battered
by storms. the tank steamship Roma,
with a cargo of crude oil from Sabine,
Texas, for Marcus Hook. has arrived at
Chester minus about 6,O00 barrels of oil.
Captain Berg said that he had ne'-er
seen such seas or felt such wind as were
encountered off Cape Hatteras last Mon
day
Early in the day the Iifeboats were
lost, and later the bridge upon which
the captain was standing was swept
overheard. The captain saved himself
by jumping 10 the deck and holding
tight TO a hatch cover.
Things came to such a pass that Cap
tain Berg. after a consultation with his
officers and crew. decided that the only
way to keep the ship afoat was to pump
out the cargo.
About 5000 barrels of oil were poured
into the seas. and. in addition to light
ening the vessel and making her ride
freer. the oil had the effect OF quieting
the water IN the neighbOThoOd of the
Roma
