THRONGS MENACFD
BY DEADLY FUMES
Unconscious Women Dragged
From StaterOoms When Over
come by Ammonia 0dOr

The bursting of an ammonia pipe
early Monday morning in the China's
refrigerating apparatus filled the liners $
staterooms with the pungent gas and
caused a panic among the passengers,
some OF whom were rendered uncon-
scious and were saved from fatal
asphyxiation only by the promptness
with which they were dragged into
the fresh air. The liner arrived here
yesterday and. among the women pas
sengers, pulses were still fiuttering at
the recollection of the choking of the
day before To make matters worse, a
high sea was running, and it was i'm
possible TO open the outside ports
either in staterooms or saloon, and for
nearly an hour the pungent vapor had
full charge of the China's first class
passenger quarters on the main deck.
The accident occurred about o'clock.
The China had so many passengers on
board that breakfast was served in two
sections. The first section was wrest-
ling with its mush and milk when the
pipe broke, and the second section was
dressing or still slumbering. Ammonia
gas is exceedingly volatile, and almost
simultaneously with the bursting of
the pipe came the screams of women
and children, who suddenly found
themselves in the grip of an unseen
enemy that clutched with relentless
fury at windpipes. From one room a
woman. unconscious, and three scream
ing children were dragged, and by the
time they reached the saloon entrance
pandemonium had turned loose there.
The rush of vapor filled the big dining
hall and, table manners were forgotten
in the wild scramble for the companion
way leading to the upper deck.
While the breakfast party was climb
ing 10 the fresh air, the ships officers
were dragging women and children
from the staterooms and helping them
on deck, where, in record time, the
whole company of passengers was soon
mustered.
Meanwhile, the engineers had shut
OF the flow of ammonia, and by 9
o'clock the air in the saloon was suf-
hciently cleared for those who felt like
it to resume the suddenly abandoned
breakfast.
Among the women passengers were
two who did not lose their heads, and
who rendered valuable service in allay-
ing the panic. particularly among the
children, of whom there were 33 on
board. These heroines of the China s
ammonia panic were Mrs. John Brooks.
sister in law of the governor of
Wyoming. and Miss c. Disbrow, a Mon
tana girl, who has been in Japan teach
ing the children of American resi-
dents how to speak French.
