Inspector Hughss' Story.
In relating his experience he made 1t
plain that most of the passengers had
on Tuesday expected the ship to foun
der. and be told of the prayer meeting
that was held in the music room Oh
Tuesday morning. when men and WON
IN prayed without embarrassment and
kissed each other goodby. Said he:

O'Clock on Tuesday morning ] felt a lar
The ship shiyered, seemed to stand still.
Jared again. stood still again and finally
tarred harder tina ever guessed at
once that we had grounded, SO I dressed
hurriedly and ran above. 1t WAS showing
heavily and there was a fierce wind from
the northeast. At that time the sea was
not heavy, hut the wind was getting Wild
er all the time
| Captain Lindsay reversed his engines
and worked for some time to back the
ship from the grip Of the shoal. Towards
dawn he saw that he was caught fast.
and so he sent the FIRST wireless report Of
the accident
The passengers were all up and dressed
and O deck by 4:0 or 5 O'Clock. They
were nervous and 1 include myself. but
their ehavior WAS sensible. They were
told by Captain Lindsay and Chief Officer
Barratt that there was no immediate dan
ger. that the ship was stanch and that re
lief boats would soon be on the way from
New York. The officers and crew OF the
Turrialba then and throughout the trou-
BILE were as cool and helpful al they
could be.
Breakfast was served at $50 o'clock.
but it was rather q dismal meal. BY that
time the sea had become very heavy and
tho wind was roaring. Every time that a
big one hit the ship she heeled over to
starboard and remble Hike a frightened
horse. The tolling OF the fog bells, the
blowing OF the siren and the creakine

They weren't very Christma ssy sounds.
All Began to Pray.
The list to starbcArd was SO sharp that
nobody but the officers and seamen could
stagger along the eonpanfonways without
falling, and the decks were impossible be-
cause the wind and snow were making a
blizzard outside. Dawn gave US a gloomy
scene The waves were running so high
that sometimes they were breaking clear
over the afterpart OF the ship. Every now

tift maybe ten feet clear of the sea and
hen drop with a fearful jar.
