PASSENGERS REACH NY,
(By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Bringing
safely back to port the 271 passengers
of the luckless transport Powhatan as
well as the last contingent of Amer
ican troops in France, the transport
Ns:thern Pacific docked at Hoboken
today.
Although they suffered from the
cold while the leaking Powhatan was
tossed about on a raging. storm swept
sea, far off the Novia Scotian coast,
the passengers here bore their dis
comfort without complaint and were
r~,her inclined to treat it as a lark
Only one of them was i'll when the
Northern Pacific reached her pier
That was Mrs. John A. Warden, OF
Mckinney, Tex, who is suffering from
light attack of pneumonia.
The transfer of the passengers,
who included II women and chill
dren. was made without incident or
accident late Thursday. Advantage
was taken of the first calm sea after
the vessel sprang a leak last Sunday.
The civilians on the disabled trans
port were praised for their calmness
and courage by the army officers who
were their fellow passengers. The
pluck of the women was praised espe-
cially.
Take Storm Well.
When the water rose until it flood
ed the engines, putting out the fire
and leaving the ship without heat or
light. with a tempest raging. the pass
engers took their discomforts phis-
ophically.
| Reports taken to Halifax by the
British steamer Bardic that 8 lives
had been lost in an attempt to trans
for the passengers were without foun-
dation. Not life was lost and no one
was injured.
All the way up the bay from quar-
antine the Northern Pacific was greet
ed as a rescue ship and every craft
| in tSe harbor whistled a welcome to
| her.
The rails of the transport were
lined with the Powhatan's passengers
and they plainly manifested their de-
. light at being so near shore. The pier
where they landed was crowded with
relatives and friends waiting to wei,
come them.
