Two Year Voyage of
Ship Rivals Tale
OF Ancient Mariner

cAPETowN. South Africa. Sept.
20.-Two years II took the S. :,
Assouan dubbed "S. s. Hard
Luck") to voyage from New York
to Capetown.
The Assouan had almost as muck
hard luck as the well-known bark
of the Ancient Mariner.
Here's the log OF the Assouan In
brief;
with hatces down on her cargo,
she drew into the stream at New
York, Oct. go, 1918. Influenza
broke out. Disease ragged II days
and affected all but three OF the
ships company. Nearly n fourth
OF the crew died.
A plague of flies visited the
ship and polluted the food.
An Arab crew was shipped and
the vessel put to sen. The con-
denaer sprung lenk and the As
sounn put In at st. Lucia, In the
West Indies.
Cleared of st. lucia. an eccentric
shaft broke anu she limped to
Trinidad and spent two months at
the dock.
Sailed with new crew and
new shaft. Three days out con-
denser leaked again. Returned to
Trinidad. Several weeks later sailed
HRni1.
Four days from Trinidad main
sea cock opened In some manner,
flooded the hold and extinguished
the fires. Hand pumps were rust
ed. Managed to repair the dam
age. Then another machine broke
and back she went To Martinique,
Meanwhile her owners were
anxious and cabied that a new
captain be authorized. Gable was
mininterpreted and not needed.
The British consul was appealed
TO by the owners to take charge OF
the ship. An uprising In Trinidad
called away the only available war
ship and so the Aaaounn continued
to bob at her dock.
She had mutiny aboard. Then
the mutiny was put down but still
the shin remained In the harbor.
Then one fine day a steam launch
OF II. NJ. 3. Constance came along
side and put aboard Captain j..
Mannsley, British navy. who took
command OF the vessel and sailed
her to Capetown.

saved a number of seamen who were
fast drifting out TO sea.
