Of shipping men here that the steam
ship Umbria. which was reported to
have been swept by a gigantic wave IN
mid-ocean last Wednesday, has met with
a serious accident, and may now be
drifting about the north Atlantic with
her machinery disabled.
The Umbria was due to arrive at
Queenstown yesterday, but no word has
been received from her since the Cedric
spoke To her Wednesday.
Hundreds of inquiries were made at
the New York offices Of the company
by members of families of passengers
or their friends
W. J. Walker, the company's local
manager. said that the Umbria had not
been communicated with by wireless,
and that nothing had been heard of
her since she last spoke to the Cedric
which arrived yesterday.
Notwithstanding, he declared that no
alarm was felt for the safety OF the
ship She is known as one Of the most
reliable on the line, and generally makes
her pier on either side of the ocean on
the hour.
Strength is added to the report of a
possible serious accident as the result
OF stories told yesterday by passengers
who arrived on the Cedric They said
wireless had been received from the
Umbria. I'm which it was stated that
the vessel had been caught In a terrific
storm. her bridge torn away, and many
of the passengers injured.
