Ourg on the steamship Crown Pm
cess st. Celia February 10th and
should have docked in New York
IN the seventeenth. Owing to the
very severe storms encountered they
lid not make New York until the
nineteenth being two full days late.
Mr.. Broderson says it was the worst

for some time. When they arrived
in New York another steamer hmped
into port with all her life boats
swept from the decks and eleven
aboard with broken legs
due to the severity of the weather.
In New York they found bitter cold

snow reported by the papers. While
