From Disabled Vessel.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-All the 27l
passengers on board the disabled army
transport Powhatan have been trans
ferred to the transport Northern Pa
cific and are on their way to New York.
This news was received here in wire
less messages, confirming previous re-
ports from Halifax, The transfer of
the passengers was effected under good
weather conditions and without any ac-
cidents.
The safe transfer Of the Powhatan's
passengers brings to a close a striking
sea drama which opened last Sunday,
when the first message was received
that the ship was leaking, the fire
room flooded, a northeastern gale blow
ing and immediate assistance needed.
Calls for help were quickly responded
to by half a dozen vessels which put
out from Canadian ports or rushed to
the scene from mid-ocean. The first
ship to arrive was the White Star liner
Cedric, on her way from England to
New York. She was quickly followed
by the Western Comet, a United States
shipping board steamer.
The Cedric and the Western Comet
found the disabled transport rolling
heavily in stormy sea. without lights
or heat, but were helpless to render
any aid in the face of the gale. The
| transport Northern Pacific, bound for
New York from France with the last
details of the American expeditionary
forces. reached its distressed sister ship
