TllK 11EK: OMAHA. SATURDAY, .1ANTAKY S, 1!)15. 5 PASSENGERS FROM LOST SHIP IN PORT Greek Steamship Thessaloniki Buf feted by Storms for Five Weeks. FOOD SUPPLY RUNS SHORT PRINCE CANTACUZENE, husband of Julia Grant, daughter of the late General Frederick Dent Grant, has, for the second time, won promotion for bravery in battle and is now a general on the staff of the czar. The princess has charge of a large hospital in Petrograd. KKW YOnK, Jan. 7. The 177 pas sengers, who were forced to abandon the sinking Greek steamship, Thes snlonlkl, at sea,' arrived here today on the steamship Patris of the same line, and gave vivid descriptions of the hardships they suffered during the five weeks that the Thessalonlkt was battered by a series of terrific gales. On Christmas day, passengers said, the supply of meat on the Thes salonlkl was entirely exhausted, only a few gallons of water were left and the ship's officers began to portion out short rations on the meager sup fly of food which remained. The Thessalonlkl first sprung a Issk when It encountered a hurricane which raired for twelve houn on December 21. The boiler and engine room were partly flooded, and the steamer sent out cilia for assistance. After tho hurricane sub aided, however, the flooded portions of the ship were pumped out atrtl It pro ceeded on Its voyage. Rough seas and gales were encountered from December 12 to December 2i. when the Thcssalonikl ran Into a ninety-mile hurricane, which, lasted for twenty-four hours. Many of the passengers and crew feared tho ateamer was sinking, as fresh leaka opened up, the holler and engine rooms and coal bunkers rapidly filled ! with watv mvit T,a .l.ln - K., ,1 1 .. . i I about. Florlart First to Arrive. It was then that tha Thcssalonikl sent out numerous S. O. 8. calls, which were heard by the Patris, United States, Florl r.e and other steamers. The Flortiel as the first to reach the disabled vessol and offered to tako c-ff tho passengers and crew and carry them to Bermuda. Cap tain boulandis, who was making hla first voyage as a master, declined this offer. Tha Florlzel dtood by until tho Patris came in sight. Tho Thcssalonikl a passengers wcro transferred to the Patris with consider able difficulty and were forced to leave all of their baggage and personal be longings on the disabled vessel. After tha transfer tha Patris shot a line to tho Thcssalonikl and took Ha sister ship In tow' on January 1. The wind Increased greatly during tho night and early the following -morning the tow line parted. That afternoon the Patris auccoeded In getting another line to tho Thessalonlkl. but the cable parted for tho second time early on the morning of Monday, January 3, and the Thessalonikl was driven rapidly to the southeast before a terrific hurricane accompanied by a blinding snow storm. Wireless Plant Weakened. Owing to the Thessalonlkl'a engines being stopped by the water In Its hold It was only able to send out infrequent wireless calla which covered a small area. The Patris took up the search and was Joined by the Pcandanavlan liner United States, which had turned out of its course. Captlan Ooulandia said he had been unable to make solar observations by reasons of the almost continuous storrrn and It was for this reason, he added, that he acnt out six erronous messages re garding. the position of his vessel. There was much trouble among the steerage passengers when they learned that the ship was leaking, but a Greek priest, Kallistratoa Glavaa of Cedar Kapldn, la., went among them and stayed until they were transferred. He quieted them and held services much of the time. den wedding anniversary New Year's lllnht. Jonathan Cass chapter.
