One Vessel Has Broken Shaft,
Other Hole In Bottom.
Two Ships Arrive Wednesday Morn
Ing at Halifax narbor.

Halifax, y. s, Feb. 6.-The steamer
Mystic. which was in distress OFF ketch
harbor last night. arrived safely i'll this
port today. The steaber Mamma. which
had been in tow of the Mystic. was
towed into the harbor by tugs.
The Mamma has broken shaft. and
the Mystic, which struck on shoai
but quickly fioated. has hole in her
bottom The crews of both vessels are
safe. but it is thought some of the
men on the Mamma were nurt by the
parting OF tow lines and the breaking
Of butts. The steamers were III Il very
dangerous position all last night, off the
rocky coast Of ketch harbor.
The Mamma is r Norwegian steamer
and was bound from Halifax to New
York with a cargo of lumber. The Mys-

Rowrings Of New York. and is bound
from Boston for Louishurg. c. Il.
Capt. Abbott of the Mystic reported
that at $50 A. NJ. on Monday last. he
sighted the Mamma 20 miles southwest
of Seal Islands. The Mamma was in
distress. with her tail shaft gone. A
heavy sea was running, but the Mystic
managed to get close enough to the
ALP. NJ. the Mystic headed for Hall
fax with the Mamma in tow. OFF Cape
Sable the tow line parted. After con-
siderable difficulty the Mystic picked
the Mamma up again and resumed her
course. Early yesterday morning. with
high winds and heavy seas prevailing.
the steamers had reached point of
Chebucto Head when the line parted
again.
While the Mystic was trying to make
fast once more 10 the Mamma both
steamers were driven by the gale in
among the shoals. The line finally
was made fast. but when it was strain
ed It was found that the two steamers
were in between the breakers. 1t was
showing hard and the northeast gale
was terrific. Fearing that they could
not work themselves off without strik-
