GIGANTIC WAVE
KILLS PASSENGER.
Steamer Saratov Battered BY Sue
cession Of Gales Across Ocean.

New York, Dec. 30.--With one Of
her passengers dead, another seriously
injured, and with her decks battered and
Scared BY tremendous waves, the Rus
sian steamer Saratov arrived here
yesterday from Bibau and Rotterdam.
The voyage was a continuous struggle
against wind and waves. Heavy weather
was encountered from the start. and
the Ia cabin and s27 steerage passen-
gers were kept closely confined 70 their
quarters. In the early stages Of the voy-
age heavy gales from southwest to
northwest prevailed, and seas constantly
broke over the steamer. On Dec. 2t
the wind had swung around to the
west, but continued to blow with almost
hurricane force.
One wave, larger than any Of the
otaers. broke over the bows and. sweep
ing down, caught two women steerage
passengers, So great was the force with
which the wall Of water struck the
women that one of them was instantly
killed, The other sustained serioue, but
probably not fatal injuries Everything
movable on that portion Of the deck
was caught up by the wave ana carried
along until it crashed against some solid
portion Of the ship.
The damage TO the steamer was con-
fred to the breakage Of dsek attings.
