Shippers who have been interview
ed on the subject of the disaster
which happened to the Campania re-
Gently attribute 1t to the fact that the
liner must have got into what is
known in nautical language as a wal
low" This, it appears. is caused by
one big wave following another be-
fore the ship has time to recover
from the shock of the first. These
"wallows" are said to be of sudden
and unaccountable occurrence, but
fortunately they are experienced very
rarely. One instance is recalled in
which a vessel suffered so badly from
this kind of visitation that she had to
return 10 port in a badly battered con-
dition, and the officers turned up
suddenly at home like apparitions, to
the CONSERVATION OF their families. In
another cas- an Atlantic liner was
suddenly popped" and it was estimat-
ed that a volume of water about wen
ty feet thick fell upon the after deck,
flooding many of the rooms up to the
ceiling and penetrating in ali direc-
tons.

the food at the wedding was not fus-
nished by the hotel management. but by
the father OF the bride herself. who Is a
butcher having n store AZ 63 Ferry street.
The physicians who attended most OF
the cases agree In placing the blame upon
one or two articles OF food which were
served at the wedding, either corned beef
or pickled tongue.
Abraham savin. father Of tho bride.
asserts that both the tongue and the beef
were OF fine quality and fresh.
