FIGHT WITH LIONS in STORM
wild Time on hoard ship with
Cargo of Animals on the
Rampage.

One of the Glveliest voyages that was
ever made across the Atlantic was brought
to a conclusion when the British frelghter
ST. Andrew came into the port of New
York with the biggest menagerie that has
ever gone afoat since the days of Noah
II found a gale when 1t was IN mid
Atlantic-a furious outhy which sent II
plunging and rolling as though It would
pitch itself into judgment day." and
what, with cages going adrift and slam
banging 10 and fro, with seas bursting
over the decks and pouring down the open
hatehways-openings which could not BIZ
closed, as the animals would have been
suffocated had the vessel been battened
down-the crew had lively time. Added
to this was the tumult OF roars which
came from the terrified animals and a still
greater tumult ensued when in the black
ness Of a stormy midnight several OF the
animals got free, and when some assailed
each other. others attacked their keepers
with the result that many of the latter now
show severe decorations An elephant, at
tackled by a puma, which had broken from
its cage, curled it's trunk about the savage
little beast, slammed it on deck and then
trampied IL TO death. A wolf escaped and
jumped overheard and a hyena which as
sailed a polar hear has now much less
fur but much more wisdom.
The menagerie was consigned TO Bostock
and is intended for show purposes at
Coney Island. The St. Andrew reached
quarantine in the forenoon. and after
short delay 1t moved up to It's pier at
the foot OF seventh street, Hoboken.
where the animals were landed. AS
soon as the lines had been made fast
Matt Johnson. who is In charge OF the
shipment. FASTENED ashore and made
round Of the butcher shops in search for
fresh meat. On account of the protracted
voyage due TO the weather which the yes
sci had encountered the fresh meat supply
had become exhausted. and such of the
animals as subsist on a meat diet had
been fasting, and as result were in
about as savage a mood as animals can
well be.
Putting out from Hamburg on April p,
the st. Andrew had fair weather until May
2 Then II encountered fierce westerly
gale. which was to last seventy hours
before II blew itself out II was during
this stress that there was so much trouble
below. IL was Initiated by two lions which
had been Gagged in the same pen. and
known as Victor and Madam. The
roar from the cage brought keepers hur-
rying 10 It with lanterns. and these found
that the lion had pinned the lioness by
the throat and despite every EFFORT of the
keepers 10 separate them the lion main
tanned his savage attack.
While vigorously prodding the lion
