/S^^ $XM PASSENGERS' The monster scow Dtavid Powers, which was' out iu the storm and waas towed into the basin, was pumped out yesterday and towed to her dock to discharge eargoo. One-third of her deckload of shingles was io^-t. The force of the seas is well Indicated by her- appearance. The shin-uirs just above the rail are splintered and pow-deted. She is broken Jin the middle, and both ends have dropped diown. Large repairs and strengthening will be fltecessary. The Powers has capacity for nearly 1.-000.000 feet of lumber. How she escaped goiing to pieces* is one of the wonders. Another of tthe wonders is that some vessel dkl-n<H i-oliidn w/ith her sharp, iron-bound corners otttside during;,'the storm and sink 1 j self.

Detroit, Mich., May 25.—Tj'he cause of the steamship City of Rome's detention was the breaking of her coupling off Thumder Bay. She succeeded in rsaching here, as amnounced by telegraph. She will be detained neaarly a week mak- ii,. ,"f '1:;'.? The steamship Wo-co-ken, ,mlm* grain laden, left Chicago on Sunday, and on Monday the gale struck her when about abreast i of G rami Haven the seas breaking clear over tine pilot-house and bridge and tilling the dock even with the rail. For twenty minutes at one time it seemed doubtful whether she would recover hierself under the fearful weight. The pilot-housse was lifted up and dashed down again, breakiing the windows and tearing away the woodworrk on the whole front and filling the captain's rotom, aft of the pi lot-house. The iron stair anid railing on the pilot-house were torn off and broken to pieces. f The scuttles aft were carried awvay, together with "the gangways. The engne-rroona doors were 1 broken in and the engine-roomi tilled. It was Iwith the greatest difficulty tide yawlboat was ; kept on board. Captain Buithugton says it was the worst experience he has even: had. It started the steamship leaking, and her pumps are kept constantly working to keep herifree. She lias 73,-000 bushels of corn on board. It is one of the wonders ;h:d her steering was mot deranged. TRE HCH0OXER l\IT,OH' BELLE: " Special Telegram to The Inter Oceam.
