A Lively Voyage.
Special by The U-iitkd Press.
New York, Oct. 20. A story is in
circulation here to-day of the strange
and startling experience of the steam
ship Umuria on her trip to this port.
A strong wind had been blowing all
day on Thursday and the sea was
very rough. The wind freshened to
wards night to almost a gale and the
woman and inexperienced voyagers
slept but little. Well on toward morn
ing the ship gave a mighty plunge
and then mounted the crest of a wave
and shook violently as a succession of
cross seas struct: ner.
Almost immediately a tremendous
wave towered hidi aloft a-minst the
horizon and the next moment broke,
deluging the vessel with a hundred
tons of water, sweeping the decks six
feet deep the whole length of the ship.
The wave was accompanied by a
whirlwind, which the passengers say
fairly spun the great steamer around
in a whirlpool. The unusual commo
tion caused many of the passengers to
rush wildly for the deck and at the
same instant ordera were given for all
to prepare to leave the ship.
Thp greatest excitement prevailed.
The passengers were panic-stricken,
and some of them began to pray and
others to shriek in hysteric fear. The
whirlwind passed as quickly as it came,
and in a few moments the vessel was
under control, plowing the waves, ap
parently none the worse for the severe
shaking and salty baptism which she
had received.
The hour and the rapidity with
which tho event happened make it
difficult to account for the vessel's
strange experience, but it is thought
that the Umbria was caught in a
small waterspout, generated during
the storm.
