‘ ! Cents a Month By Mail or Carrier VoL, 1, SCENES OF HORROR Many Animals Killed and Maimed a Terrific Storm. Fresh Stock——Stories of the Fight With Old Neptune. The unexpected return of the transport Victoria to Seattle @hortly after midnight with a cargo dead and dying mules and horses, caused a big sensation along the water-front. The ne’ quickly spreaf through the city, and early this morning large crowds of curious persons gathered near Arlington wharf, hoping to ascertain the actual condition of affaire on board of the steamer p There seemed » be a provoking disinelination upon the part of the government agents and the officers of the Victoria to make the facts public The big gates leading to the wharf were closed and guarded, and no one was permitted to enter except they could show a personal pass written by Assist ant Quartermaster Rodinson Later on, however, the gaping crowd was partly rewarded for keeping vigil at the gates, by the appearance of a troop of tame and decrepit horses driven slowly from the wharf t rie the stock sheds in North Seattle. Although the animals we heavily Dianketed, jt could easily be seen that they had been sub jected to the most cruel treatment by the seas, and in some cases were hardly able to stand. ‘The vesse! still looks staunch and true, and shows no effects of the terrific weather she encountered for a week. The Victoria sailed for the Prilippines on November 23. She carried 410 horses and mules. They were Intended for army ser vice in Luzon. Among the ar @ ls were some fine-blooded draft horses. These were to be used in artillery service The vessel had proceeded no further than the Straits of Juan de Fuca when high seas were encountered. By the time the ocean was reach- ed the gale was terrific The storm grew until it became unprecedented on thie coast. Despite the many precautions which had been taken, the anima Were soon tumbiing about. They suffered terribly by being bat- tered against the walls of the stalis, In leas than a day some be- Ban to die of exhaustion. The attendants and veterinary surgeons labored in vain to save them. During the five days which elapsed after the veamet left here, she succeeded in getting no more than 20 miles beyond Cape Fiattery. After the surviving mais had nearly all been die- abied, Capt. Michael and Capt. ton held a consultation. It was decided to turn back, as it wor useless to take the veaee! fur- ther with ite battered cargo. When the Victoria arrived at &mith Cove test night, 56 animale were dead; many more were dying. and others will die from injuries. At half-past ten this morning the unloading began. The an- imais were a sad looking lot. ‘They were al! covered with bian- and many of their injuries were hidden. They could not be covered. however. One horse had to be fairly dragged along by two men. The animal was so badly injured it could Rardiy move. ut of pity, the spectators cried, “Shoot it!” ‘Two of the attendants who were on the boat were more com- Municative thart the officers. One gave the following statement “We swung up the animals when the etorm began. This proved little help, however, as the boat was on ter beam ends The Waves went over her. It was the moet terrible experience I have @ver known, and I have been in a battle or two. We never ex pected to get out Alive. Theanimals were pounded to pieces ‘The stalls should have been padded. We had nothing but canvas Swings for the anim: Thin Ie what they did.” Here he showed one of the mules that he was leading. Its con dition wae horrible and woukt defy description. Then he continued: “We lost over @ in all, and many others wil certainiy dic Out of those that survive, I do not believe one in 16 will ever be worth its feed. No one can tell you how the hours were spent. With the wavee above us half the time, Without the ability to stand or lle anywhere, and with terrified horece and mules shrieking. there was an inferno on the ship.” By 11 o'clock this morning the 75 mules which had been left at the corral in North Seattle had been taken Artington dock Loading commenced at The strictest secrecy ts being maintained as to what measures will be taken to prevent another @ieaster. It is thought probable an investigation will be made as to the methods employed in trag*porting the anima)s Robert Moran, of the shipbullding firm of Moran Mros., who fitted up the Victoria for tranaport service, made tne following Statement this morning to a Star representative “The workmanship on those stalls was the very best possible No better job could have been performed. If they had not haat well construc the whole super-structure would have « Pieces in the frightful storm that prevailed mu will recollect that about two months ago the transport Stam, fitted out in San Francisco, lost 300 stalls at sea in & moderate storm. through the collapse of the flimey stalls which had been constructed Rad workmanship was at the bottom of that disaster. In the ca of the Victoria it was simply a f«ht againet overwhelming odds. The storm threw the dumb animals about in their stalls, and they id by no human ingenuity have been protected Padding would have been of little use, a# the skin of the ant mals would have been as easily abraided against it as they were by rubbing againat the board. The disaster was deplorable, but there was no help for it. The Victoria made her first trip to the Philippines with animais in these same stalls without the least trouble, safely delivering her cargo. “I think that it is only right that these facts concerning the Victoria's mishap should be thoroughly understood by the public We have outfitted transports here for the Philippines to the great advantage of the government, a8 compared with outfitting done down at San Francisco.” T. E. Freeman, one of the mule drivers on the transport, was taken to police headquarters this morning in a badly battered condition. He was afterwards conveyed to Providence hospital Freeman was aésisting the mules during the storm, and, in try- ing to save the animals, he was badly injured. once SKEEE EEE EEL EEE EEE EEE EE EEE EE EEE EEE SESE SEES ESE EEE SEO EEEE EE ESSE SEER SE SEE EEN EEE SESE EERE EER EEE EEE eee Tekh nkhkhhhahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhk Work Necessary on the Seattle- Tacoma Street Car Line, Rydetrom & Goerlg, the contractors who will bulld the Se- attle-Tacoma electric railway, will begin driving piles here for the long trestle out from Commercial street to the Duwamish river today No estimate is possible at present of the time re quired to comp! the pile-driving.
