The Exeter Times, 1892-12-29, Page 5ADRIFT IN MYDOCEA.N, THE NORDLAND HELPLESS FROM A BROKEN SHAFT. During a Tempestuous voyage, and When Four Itunclred utiles From Queenstown, the Steamer is Disabiecl,— Dircitement Among the rassongers Sighted and Towed into Rarbon. LONDON, Deo. 28.—The steamer Nord - laud has been towed. into Queenstown by the Ohio with a broken shaft. The voyage of the Nordland was tem- pestuous almost from the hour of leaving Sancly Hook. TlI- wind iiilew t ainnest a1 hurricane and the ship had Inuoh diffieulty in making headway through the waves, Some of the passengers were so apprehen. sive of danger that they could not be in - dewed to retire at night and sat about the saloon dozing at intervals and ready with thea clothes on to take to the boats in the event of an accident, although boats could 4 4 have lived only by a miracle in the terrible seas. The Nordland labored along sue- cessfrrliy until Thursday evening. Tt was a bitter eold night and the passengers were congratulating themselves on. gradu- ally nearing the end of their storzny voy- age, when at 20 minutes past nine in the evening a tremendous craslewas heard and the vessel quivered from end to end. The passengers who were sitting up were tossed about liked ninepins, several of them be ing thrown to the floor. Three terrific blows resounded one after the other, as if the vessel was being struek by a gigantic hammer, which indeed was the fact. The fright of some of the people was pitiful to behold, They ensiled hither and thither and de- layed the officers in their efforts to get at the cause and extent of the disaster, Capt. Nickels knew well enough what the sound meant, and with a reassuring word to the passengers he hastened to investigate per- sonally. The engines raced. furiously while the broken shaft, for that proved to be the clanger, seemed about to crush the ship at every coneussfon. Water rushed into the tube, menacing the stokehole and the engine rooms, and panic strieken pas- sengers thought for a while that the vessel was about to sink. Several minutes elapsed before word was given for the en - glues to stop. The Nordland lay helpless, tossed by the gale, and as the waterrushed in there seemed imminent danger of sink- iug. The pumps were manned and put to work, every man of the crew being sum- moned to duty. For twenty-four hours continuously the pumps were kept at work and the water prevented from gaining on the vessel. The excited passengers,finding that they were not in instant peril of being swallowed up by the waves, regained cour- age and patiently waited for a steamer to tow theta into port, At the time of the tit a c1t•nt the Nordland was 400 miles west eif Queenstown. The crippled steamer wax sighted by the steamship Ohio, which left Philadelphia on the same day. that the Nordland left New York, and the needed aseicttttnee was at once extended, The voy- age to Queenstown in tow was attended by anneal cl fliculty, and the continuous stormy weatha. ntatle it necessary to navigate with caution, but the Nordland arrived without further aeeiclent. An examination showed. that the fracture of the shaft was six. feet inside the stern. When the Oltio towed her into harbor all the passengers were on deck waving ]tats and handkerchiefs and cheering. All showed signs of the anxiety which they had snffeeed. Several women fell on their knees and eried the moment they were landed. erred, Kotz, a first cabin passen- ger, told his experience as follows; The first two days out were fairish, al- though part of the time a heavy sea was running. The weather then grew rapidly worse. On the night of the accident we were making about 12 knots an hour. The ship was rolling heavily and most of the cabin passengers were below siek. Five or six of us were in the smoking room when there was a terrific crash and we were thrown from our seats into a heap on the floor. The vibration of the ship almost shook us from our feet as we started for the door. It seemed as if a gigantic hammer was pounding the ship's bottom When we got outside we saw the captain coming from the engine room. The pas- sengers carte running on deek half dressed and white from fear. We surrounded the captain, and he told ns that the retain shaft was broken but there was no immediate reason for alarm. The other officers who were not busy below, walked about among the passengers incessantly, and tried to en- courage all to believe that there was no danger, In a few minutes we leare ecl tha the engineers, at great lisle io their lives, Lad found that trvC stay plates and plum- ber ble,e7es bad smashed the gland of the engine. The bulkhead, however, had been kept tight. The vessel pitched and rolled terribly, so that we saw that we could not trust to the boats in case the worst came. ''We were just becoming calmer when we saw the crew rushing through the steerage carrying bedding, mats and carpets, to be stuffed Into the tunnel box. We all knew then that water was coming in. Nobody slept that night. The women sat crying in the cabins, and the men crowded the smoking room to play cards .and talk over the situation. We all were badly fright- ened. The vessel rolled terribly, and with every roll came a tremendous thump, as if a piece of shaft was loose, and smashing things in the hold. The sails had been spread but they did not steady the ship notiooabiy. We knew we were far from the track of trap -Atlantic steamships and most of us on. that night would not have guessed that our changes of life were mole than two in five.' The crew' worked heroically at the "jumps for twenty-four hour after the accident, and at 'the same time the engineers were busy at the shaft, fixing plugs and trying to pre- • vent further influx of water. Eventually work was sunt out £hat the flow of water had' been checked. We had plenty of food and water and ` therefore; with. fairly favorable weather, would have been able to hold our own for some time. As the sea was, still too rough, however, for any lifeboat we were a gloomy lot. Friday was uneventful. The tables were I laid as usual but few cared to eat. At 2 o'clock on Saturday morning the lookout yelled "Light ahead." Everybody turned out and listened eagerly for the next word. • 'esun's' .A STEAMER'� - was,the next call and we all shook hands and steered and.imany ran about shouting to joy '17, '41 , ... t ^» lr °las.
