Experience in a Storm

Another vessel to feel the full force of the storm which swept the Gulf du- ring the past week, reached here this morning when the British steamer Kernwood. from Para. mOored at the Louisville and Nashville docks.
 Almost everything on her decks was swept away. excepting the donkey" engines, and these were badly dam aged.
 An officer of the ship thus described the storm:
 The heaviest of the gale struck us last Thursday and came on suddenly. We were steaming along at a good clip with a choppy sea. but not very rough. Suddenly the wind came up strong from the northwest. and with severe cold. We did our best to keep things on deck. but they were washed by tons of water which was shipped with every wave.
 "All Thursday. Thursday night, and until Saturday we steamed into the very teeth of the gale, and when the storm at last abated our decks were clear"

 About eight hours afterwards. an- other negro. who has not yet been iden- tifed, attempted to derail switch en- zine by putting 1t from the track. He stood in the middle of the railroad track on East Wright Street and wait ed the auproach of the engine. When If was within a few feet Of him he made a lunge and went headforemost against the engine. The latter passed over the body and severed the head from the body.

 .> Eight Hours.
 Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 2--tSpeciaL)-- Encountering one of the most severe storms which has passed over the Gulf in many months, the Norwegian steam- CT Thelma. from Belize for Pensacola, reached here today with considerable damage done to the hull by the shifting of her cargo. which consisted of ma- hogany logs
 The experience of the master and crew for number of hours was thrill ing. Encountering the terrific north- west storm 300 miles off Pensacola, the vessel battled against 1t for about twelve hours, when big sea hit her and she careened to such an extent that the cargo shifted and the logs damned the steering gear.
 This became useless and at sea with a terrible gale blowing and with vessel that could not be steered. was the plight of the master.
 The gear held fast by the logs sent the vessel in circle and this she made a number of times with the seas con- stantIy breaking over her and the wind blowing at sixty miles an hour. Finally another big sea hit her as she was listed to the port side and this again shifted the cargo. thus releasing the steering gear. With this free the master directed the course of the veS- sel towards Pensacola, and passing the center of the storm. made this port without further incident.
 Members of the crew state that the master stood on the bridge of the steamer for forty-eight hours, the durA- ton of the storm -t--.-.
 A peculiar Incident was that the men and vessel were covered with salt to such a thickness that letters could be made with the fingers on the backs of the men or the deck of the vessel from the constant beating of the waves oveI the ship.
