During the terrific storms she en-
countered in the South Atlantic a
sailor named Klaus Zelander was
washed overheard and drowned. The
vessel had one of the toughest trips
that any ship has experienced during
this seasons run around the Horn. 1t
is largely due to the seamanship OF
Captain williams that she ever reached
this port For thirty days the vessel
was in the midst of furious gales of
Cape Horn. which carried away her
sails and created seas that washed
continually over the stays.
The Garnett Hill had a hard voyage
from the time she left Rotterdam She
sailed from that port on July 10. She
was no sooner in the Channel than she
struck heavy head winds, and it was
eleven days before she got into the
open ocean. She was barely straight
ened out on her course when she struck
a gale that carried away her fore-top
gallant yard. She was seventy nine
days to Cape Horn. Here she ran into
4 succession of bad storms, hurricanes
and high running seas. The decks
were constantly full of water to the
rails. 1t was during one of these hard
blows that Zelander was drowned. On
October l6, in latitude 50.5z degrees
south and Longitude S1-24 degrees west
the unfortunate seaman lost his life
He had climbed up the main mast when
a terrible sea struck the ship and
caused her to careen over, and the
force of the wave was so great that
Zelander was thrown from the rigging
to the rail and rolled overheard.
After rounding the Horn the ship
had fairly good weather coming up the
coast. She made the voyage in 1872
days. She brings 10000 casks Of ce-
ment TO W. r. Grace & Co.
Earthquake at Sea.
The Pacific Mail steamship Newport
arrived in port yesterday morning and

Guatemala, TO Acapulco. Mexico. The
shock lasted about ten seconds. II
shook up the steamer to a considerable
extent and some of the passengers
were so frightened they leaped from
their berths. While the Newport was
lying at Ancon President Roosevelt ar
rived there. His arrival was the &C.
cssion for a general holiday. All work
was suspended on the steamers there
and also ashore. Every vessel and
every building was gaily decorated
with flags. The ardor of the occasion
was, however, somewhat dampened by
2 terrific downpour of rain which lasted
during the entire day Nevertheless
the enthusiasm was unbounded, and as
the President passed through the
streets he was cheered with tremendous
vigor.
The Newport was zig days from
Ancon and days and 19 hours from
San Bias.

trip Of 377 days from Genoa to this
port shows little signs of the general
knocking about she has received since

her cargo was shifted. She was COM
PEELED TO put back into Montevideo,
where she arrived March H. She re-
manned in that port until June 2, when
she again set sail for this coast
