STEAMER BATTLES
WITH HURRICANES
MORE THAN 30 DAYS
Newa Arrives Here 10 Days
Overdue After Thrilling
Voyage From Denmark
• Ten days overdue, 37 days en route,
during which lime the vessel battled
against a storm lasting over a period
of a month, the Danish steamer Newa,
from Aalbours, Denmark, reported
missing a week ago and later located
by wireless off the coast of Bermuda,
arrived here yesterday morning, and
the 3.200-ton cement cargo is now be
ing discharged at the. Wilmington
Compress and Warehouse company ter
minals. The cargo is consigned to the
Southern Power Company. '
Capt. Arthur Felkenberir, who is in
charge of the vessel, reports that the
inordinate delay in reaching Wilming
ton was occasioned by an almost con
tinuous storm at sea. or from December
21 to January 18. He stated that the
steamer was not damaged to any ex
Departing from Aalboursr. Denmark.
December 16. the Newa called at New
castle-on-tho-Tyne for two clays, t0
have the coal bunkers replenished
leaving the latter port December 20 at
midnight. “From that date and unt’l
January IS, we did not have a decent
dav” declared the -enial captain yes
terday afternoon, in diseussinsr the
stormy voyage.
“Please don’t exaggerate our experi
ence ” the skipoer requested, in pre
facing his story to a reporter. ''There
were heavy seas all during this time,
and a strong west wind was blowing,
so we were compelled to run at low
speed because the ship was so heavily
loaded ■ was dangerous to operate the
steamer at full speed headlong into tn?
l>ig waves," he said.
“As we were so long overdue. I knew
there would be anxiety on the part of
our families and the company, so I
dispatched a wireless message while
off the Bermuda Islands," Captain Felk
enherg said, and this message was pick
ed un hv a number of boats. “A mes
sage' was relayed to Mrs. Felkenberg.
who in turn, advised wives of mem
bers of the crew of our safety,” he
added.
January 20, Charleston wirelessed for
the location of the Newa. which, at
that time, was 72 degrees west and 32
degrees north; -Capt. - Felkenberg re
ported.
The Newa ’"s consigned to Heide and
company, and David H. Scott, general
manager of that concern, became ap
prehensive when the boat was five
. days overdue. He took the matter up
with the navy department, arid on the
following day the department advised
that the Newa had been located off the
coast of the Bermuda islands.
Capt. Felkenberg expressed delight
on reaching port yetserday, and the 26
members of the crew were also pleased
with the opportunity to exchange their
sea legs for land peds. The captain
and crew spent Christmas at sea. off
Land's F,nd, and exchanged wireless
greetings with their friends and fam
ilies.
The skinner's experiences during the
war wore many, and he had the honor
of piloting the first boat that depart
ed from Copenhagen after the outbreak
of the war, besides being at the wheel
nf a Belgian relief ship that sailed from
New York city on November 11. 1918.
All throughout the war, Capt. Felken
berg was at the helm, and on two oc
casions his craft came near being tor
pedoed. At one time his wife discov
ered a submarine in the North Sea, but
Capt. Felkenberg failed to see this
undersea monster, and on reaching Co
penhagen. a journalist boarded the ves
sel. requesting a story. The captain
was just getting ready to go ashore, so
he politely informed the journalist that
“my wife saw it; I did not,” and the]
newspapermen afterwards proceeded |
to weave a story out of this abrupt in- I
terview that was widely published. ]
IJence, the captain’s request at the he- ;
ginning of the interview yesterday.
Gertie’s Garter Get«
Goat of the Glooms
“Getting Gertie’s Garter” got 01d|
Man Gloom's goat last night, when the
Pickert Stock Company presented this
farce-comedy for the second time at
the Academy of Music, a large number
af theatre patrons attending.
Everybody laughed loud, and most
everybody laughed long, as the story
about “Getting Gertie’s Garter” was
portrayed by an able cast.
Many funny, and some compromising
situations are brought about by a wom
an who is trying to compromise herself,
but who incidently compromises the
%other members of the cast.
But to tell the whole story would
be robbing patrons of a few of the I
laughs, so it is certain tfcat another !
large audience will attend the matinee 1
at the Academy at 3:30 this afternoon, j
and the performance at 8:30 tonight.
The Pickert Stoctf comps,ny will offer
for the remaining three days of this
week, “Lena Rivers,” and reserved
seats are on sale at Elvington’s.
