We have broken the world's record for a day's run. The Lusltanla took tn blue ribbon with 918 knots. Tha j Mauretanla has wrested the coveted rec ord from her sister ship, for between noon of November 20 and noon of No vember 21 she reeled off H24 knots. Lusltanla Maintains Speed. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 21. The Cu- GREYHOOD IX WILD STREAM Anchor Breads Loose and Causes Steamer to Slow Up. NEW YORK. Nov. 21. The steamer Mauritania's time for the passage from Queenstown, It Is calculated, will be about five days and two hours, or about seven hours slower than the Lusltnnla's fastest westward passage. Wireless dispatches from the Maure tanla Indicate that the steamer will arrive at Sandy Hook at daybreak Fri day. The aerograms also tell of a se vere storm which delayed the Maure tanla and record an exciting Incident which occurred Monday night. The small figures made by the steam er that day 461 knots were due to this Incident. While the ship was plunging into the head seas some of them tore one of the heavy anchors from Its lashings on the forecastle deck. The following sea and the roll of the ship set It to dancing about the deck, and there was danger that dam age would be done to the bow plates or the deck. Captain Pritehard, who was on the bridge, ordered that speed be reduced, and he then went forward and person ally directed a force of men, who tried to capture the runaway. It was the captain himself who finally put a line on tire anchor by which It was lashed fast. The storm which the Mauretanla has finally left behind was a fierce one. First there was a southwest gale, heavy clouds and high seas. Then the wind suddenly shifted to the north west and the clouds cleared away, but the gale was cold and went whistling through the rigging. The wind Is now light and the sea smooth.
