SHIP TOO WET

( PASSENGERS
Officers Of Boat Accused OF

Universal Service.


NEW YORK. Nov. Q. = OIL was
poured on troubled waters. but In
stead OF calming them. 1t created a
uquor situation that may be taken
70 Attorney General Daugherty.
The Southern Cross. one OF the
largest and fastest of the United
States Shipping Boards fleet. which
was assigned to the Munson Line for
operation between New York and
South American ports, arrived here
yesterday afternoon. five days late.
Capt. Bert u. Head explained that
the vessel ran short of fuel oil and
that he put into Bermuda to get
another supply.
II took only twelve hours to put
the oil on the ship but she remained
In the wet" port for five days.
Officer Is Accused.
So serious was the situation that
J. e. Sheedy. one of the vice presi-
dents of the shipping board was at
the dock when the ship landed. He
heard the charge of Miss Hardynia
X. Norville. representative OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union In South America. that one of
the high officers of the ship was
under the influence of liquor in the
presence of passengers.
Miss Norville said she would take
the matter up at the w. c. T. u.
convention in Philadelphia this
month.
Some of the passengers charged
the delay of the vessel to liquor.
While no intoxicants were sold on
board 1t was admitted that 1t was
brought onto the vessel in great
quantities by passengers, not only
from South American ports but from
Bermuda.
The oil shortage was explained
by the report that one of the crew
had dumped the fuel overheard
thinking 1t was water. All Captain
Heald would say on this point was
that the vessel had enough oil to
reach New York when 1t left South
America.
Another incident of the voyage
came to a climax when Miss Nor
vile was confronted by the ships
hostess, who accused the temper
port that she had been intoxicated
Miss Norville retorted: II did not
say you were intoxicated. I said
you had been drinking intoxicating
liquors. 1t was another woman on
board who said you were drunk. She
said you took eighteen drinks at one
sitting"
Her face crimson, Mrs. Shirk re.
piled: II had few drinks, but I
never had eighteen at one sitting.
Furthermore, 1t was understood that
when l became hostess Of this YES
Sci could drink with the passen-
gers. Mr.. Munson told me I could. !"
Bar Sealed Tight. +.
Miss Norville and other women
passengers said discipline in a GER
tain part of the vessel was impaired
at a masquerade party before the
vessel went into Bermuda. 1t was
said that liquor was used extensive
ly during the party but that none
was sold aboard the ship. The bar
was sealed tight at all times, and
it is not believed that there was
even any liquor in the ships stores.
The temperance worker and other
passengers said Captain Heald did
all in his power to keep his ship
dry. They explained that the trou-
bic was brought on by passengers
who did the gracious thing by Ger.

Homestead was Helpless For
Five Days-Is lowed
Into Norfolk.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 6.-Be-
coming helpless at sea because fuel
oil would not burn is q new pre-
dicament to befall a ship. That's
what happened to the steamer
Homestead, which has just been
towed into Norfolk, after being
helpless at sea for five days. An
examination Of samples Of oil
made here, showed IL contained
dirt, asphalt and water.
Out Of Boston.
The vessel. bound from Boston for
Norfolk. with a part OF cargo OF pig
iron. was proceeding nicely about
1876 miles off the Delaware Capes on
Chief Engineer c. J. Pierce. reported
been burning an excessive amount
OF oil and had been forced to pump
300 barrels overheard In efforts to
get rid of the dirt.
Upon leaving Boston the morning
of October %, the Homestead had
2,326 barrels OF oil In the tanks, hut
by 4 o'clock the next afternoon the
engines had to be slowed down be-
cause Of the low stock. The vessel
was moving slowly at the time, with
the fires gradually going out. and at
S o'clock that night the master de-
cided to place the whole crew on
watch in gangs hauling wood from
the matches.
Wood fires were started under the
boilers after all other means Of get
ting the oil to burn had failed. After
the wood fires had been started and
were burning at a fierce rate. Cap
tain Meegan said the oil was forced
through the burners on the wood
and laid like 80 much paste squeezed
from a tube.
Chief Engineer Pierce said the oil
when forced on the wood fires. put
them out. BY 1890 on the morning
of October 25. the Shipping Board
steamer Elmport, bound from Boston
to Philadelphia, came alongside In
response to a call. A line was sent
from the Elmsport to the Homestead
but broke and the masters Of the two
vessels decided to wait calm weather
before further attempts to get the
line fast.
Lines Break.
At that time Captain Meegan said
the wind was from the southwest and
blowing a gale. About 1880 on the
morning of October 26. the Elmsport
was able to get a manila rope to the
Homestead, but the line broke about
7:45 that night after only about
twenty-four miles headway had been
made. The weather was not alto
gether favorable and 1t was not until
o'clock the following afternoon
that the wire hawser Of the Home
stead was made fast and towing be-
gan.
The engine crew was still at work
on the Oil and fires and reported
shortly after the towing started that
the engines were working. The fires,
/ however, again died away and the
engines were stopped again.
After towing the Homestead ninety
two miles, the Emsport gave up the
job to the tug Humarick, sent from
Norfolk to take the steamer in tow
for this port. The Humarick arrived
on October 2S. and after towing the
Homestead one day, three hours and
twenty-five minutes had the vessel
tied up at the dock of the Shipping
Board at Craney island.
Shipping Board officials have had
the whole situation surveyed and the
oil analyzed.

Whether a glass fish bowl will break
or not when it is rolled down a long
flight of stairs apparently depends up
on luck and the individual fish bowl,
as Cecil B De Mile will testify.

erts trips on the landing of a stair

goldfish bowl Girl fish and bowl
rolled to the foot of the stairs!
Everyone counted on the bowl be
ing shattered. Instead, il reached the
bottom without so much as being
cracked. Whereupon Cecil B. De Mile
took advantage of circumstances and
used the fiShbowl as prop" for the
succeeding scene between Miss Rob
erts and Conrad Nagel.
