CANADIAN PACIFIC
if. STEAMERS SAFE

Winnipeg, Dec. 26.-Canadian Pa
cific railway officials received word to-
day of fearful storms which swept the
Pacific ocean and nearly cost the COM
pany two big liners. With huge seas
sweeping Owe her and threatening to
wreck her deck fittings and cabins, the
big Canadian Pacific railroad steamer
Monteagle, Captain Bailey, had to, be
hove to in mid-Pacific IN her outward
voyage from Vancouver to Hongkong.
There was a bowling western gale
raging and the seas were sweeping
over her.
The Monteagle is one of the best
boats of the fleet and when she is
held up by heavy weather the storm
is violent in the largest degree. 80"
The Empress Of Japan had only
thirty-lve tons of coal left in her
bunkers when she put into a Japanese
port. Continuous heavy weather had
buffeted the ship for many days and
q head wind, together with mountain
u seas, held her back.
AS the, days wore by the flremen and
coal passers watched the coal pile
dwind]e down, and the officers really
ed that another prolonged storm
would put them in a bad way. Final
ly Yokohoma was made, and as the
bunkers were examined it was found
there was a mere pile of thirty-1ve
tons left.
