M- November 4, and headed down the Ftralta. passing Tatoo;i at 4 P. M, with the wind blowing fresh from the south and a heavy swell running. "Against this wind and swell she tnade but little progress and she was not yet fairly away from the land when, at about lo o'clock, the passen gers In her crowded cabins experi enced a sudden shock, which, light though It may have seemed, carried with It a feeling of dreadful apprehen sion that sent them flying to the deck." says Mr. Wright In the history.
