Passengers aboard the liner crowded to the rails and peered into the night hopefully while the lifeboat was searching for Sarazin. When it got back with no news of him a sympathetic passenger suggested that a purse should be raised for Sarazin’s family. Three contribution boxes were put up in the ship, and passengers filled them with gold, silver, and paper money. By this system of subscription, new in nautical annals, the left hand knew not what the right hand did. The contents of the boxes will be counted to-day.
Capt. Albers of the Deutschland said the voyage was one of the roughest on record for September. The women passengers didn’t have much pleasure. The ship was at times reduced to fifteen knots. The mighty combers through which she smashed scraped the paint off her bows.
Among the big liner’s passengers were: George C. Boldt, Leonard Lewisohn, Rud and Henry Kunhardt, Dr. William Tod Helmuth, Charles Dupont Coudert, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Spilker.—N. Y. Sun.
