Sally lived near the Porte Clingna-

It was q dismal building situated in
what had once been a garden, but had

hedge ran along the front Of the house,
which stood some fifty yards away
from the road; a wall and ditch pro-
tected 1t at the back. In the garden

stone. Several windows at the back
OF the dwelling were broken and

A CUNARDER'S EXPERIENCE
Terrified Passengers Pray While Fu-
rious Storm RACES. ..

New York, Jan. 9.--Another story
| Of the great storm of last week was
brought to port yesterday when Inc
Cunard liner, Carmania, three days
overdue nosed in through the fog, pat
tered by wind and sea, all her PAM
washed over, her plates rusty red ana
her white deck house stained smudge
of dirty gray. Captain j. c. Barry
and his officers were unanimous III
declaring January 2 the widest LAY
they ever knew at sea.
So terrific was the manner in Wnich
the huge seas OF that day tossed ana
twirled the big liner around that the
women passengers knelt and prayed
while their men companions tired TO
reassure them with words they scarce
ly believed themselves.
The Carmania hit the full brunt OF
the big hurricane December 80, TWO
days out of Liverpool. New Years
eve it was so bad that the passengers
were ordered to remain below decks.
New Years Day was cherries one
for all aboard, but the next day was
the worst. Even those passengers
who had taken to their berths from
sea sickness became so frightened
that they forgot to be sick and scram-
bled out to join their terrified COM
panions in the main saloon.
At noon the liner lifted the crest
of huge comber, was turned around
by the force Of the gale and sank IN
the trough of the sea. She heeled
over to an angle Of so degrees and
Captain Barr admitted afterward, ap
peared about to turn turtle. Every
thing below decks was overturned
and the passengers hurled into heaps
ON the floor. The lunch in the galleys
vss scattered all over the place and
nothing but sandwiches was served all
the rest of the day. After that the
weather steadily improved.
Two passengers who boarded the
ship al Liverpool and represented
themselves as prominent manufac-
turers of the West, comprised the CON-
nlittec that endeavored, with consider
able success, to relieve a number OF
ths passengers of their cash, with
The clement of chance safety proper
toned on the committees side.
According to E. L. Goodwin, from
London after brief visit, the two
men began operations shortly after
the liner haG left Liverpool and by the
sine the passengers decided they were
being feeced. accumulated about
$500.
The "Western manufacturers" in
troduced an old game of dice into the
smoking room. 1t was shaking q
single die five times, the highest ac-
cumulated throw to win.
After Goodwin had lost $125 anG
other passengers had dropped from
s25 to 5000, Goodwin demanded thai
the die be examined. The Engl!shmaE
saws he found it "ixed."
During the excitement another pas
sengcr, ". J. S. Schroeder, declared
he had been feeced Of $3.50 by the
men III a card game.
The captain sent for the alleged
sh.rpers and warned them TO keep out
of the smoker. The indignation of the
passengers became so great that the
latter sent a wireless message fol-
detectives to meet the ship.
When the Carmania arrived no one
could be found to make complaint.
and the two "Western manufacture
ars" were the first to land.
