CANADA FORCED
TO BATTLE WITH
GIGANTIC SEAS.

Portland, Me, Feb. 19.-Completing
te longest trip she ever made to this
port, the steamship Canada Of the
White Star-Dominion Line arrived
early this morning from Liverpool via
Halifax, three days late and officers
of the ship report one of the most Sc
we're voyages in years. Like other ships
crossing the Atlantic the past month.
the Canada was forced to battle every
mile against strong westerly gales and
heavy seas. Her speed was greatly re-
duced several days and on Rev. IL and
Feb. IA she covered only 160 and 173
miles.
There were only four days when the
Canada averaged over 300 miles de-
spite the fact that the liner is capable
of from 800 to 80 miles in "a hours un-
der favorable conditions.
The Canada sailed from Liverpool
Feb. Z, and was due here Sunday night
or early Monday When she finally
reached the Nova Scotia coast she was
detained off Halifax by severe snow
storm.
Ine only decent WcdlltT
tered during the entire voyage was

fax to Portland" said Captain Jones
today. land we made the run in about
q hours.
While the Canada was three days
late. the officers were happy this
morning as the ship escaped damage
and all the passengers and crew were
in excellent health. Another feature
of the trip pleasing to Captain Jones
and his officers was the fact that the
Canada had made just as fast time
as some of the larger and faster ships
sailing from English ports the same
day the Canada sailed for Portland.
The Canada brought Al first cabin
and 113 second cabin passengers and
the greater part of the voyage they
were forced to remain below decks as
the temperature was low and spray
swept over the ship practically every
day until she arrived at Halifax.
Unlike many liners arriving In ports
along the Atlantic coast the Canada's
officers did not sight any Ice fields or
bergs as the ship came over the south
ern route and was fully $50 miles south
of the ice fields off the Nova Scotia
and Newfoundland coasts.
