NIEUW AMSTERDAM, by Wireless, via = Sayville, L. 1., Aug. 17—This steamship of the Holland-America Line, Toral............. 4.927 13 3 which left Plymouth on Aug. 9 literally stuffed with American refugees, was halted last night at 7 o'clock by two shots fired across her bows from | a gun on the British cruiser Essex. This happened about two hundred | miles south of Halifax and created intense excitement among the pas-| sengers, who had been wrought up to a condition approaching nervous} hysteria by the devious course of the vessel, the shrouded lights at night and the many baseless rumors continually in circulation, It was still broad daylight when the passengers on the Nieuw Amater- | Gam sighted the Essex. The captain of our steamer and the captain of the| Egsex bad been in communication by wireless for some time. Our name, Gestination and other points pertinent to times of war had been given, but, for some reason, the Essex appeared to doubt our identity. The warship kept shooting questions at us and our wireless operator kept replying. In the meantime, our commander, secure in the consciousness of the presence of a war vessel of a friendly power had put on speed and ‘was forging ahead. ‘The Esnex came nearer and nearer. Whether the Nieuw Amsterdam was ordered by wireless to stop the pussengers do not know, But they do know that the boom of a gun came to thelr ears over the sea, followed in @ few seconds hy another boom, The firing was a tremendous gurprise, as we could see that she was @ British vessel of war. Her colors were plainly visible with glasses. Instantly the idea flashed through many minds that we had fallen into fostile hands, The engines of the Nieuw Amsterdam slowed down and Stopped. Gradually the ship lost way. There wasn’t a sound on the décks as the ewift cruiser, with a bone in her teeth, bore down upon us, She came so close we could see the men on her decks and almost make out their features, This, however, was reassuring, as there was no mistaking the British uniform and the smart English man-of-war's men, After acru- tinizing us at close range the Essex signalled by wireless that we might pro- coed, As the throb of the engines of the Nieuw Amsterdam was felt again and the ship headed into her course the passengers lining the ratis cheered ‘the English cruiser that had so frightened them a short time before, The Essex and other English cruisers were close to us and all around all night, shutting the Nieuw Amsterdam out from communicating with wireless stations ufitil noon to-day, “Phe Nieuw Amsterdam should reach Quarantine about 7 o'clock to. night. : ee GERMAN CRUISER’S LIFEBOAT Routh America” and. the Weat Inatem FOUND FLOATING AT SEA; e on their way to Germany to fight t aha are paying their own expenses.
