MANY SILENT BURIALS AT SEA PaBsongors Kent in Ignorance of tho True- Situation of Affairs on tho Steamship Search ing for Firo Island. AX SOIIMIDT, tho Main streot business man, arrived in town Saturday night witb bit daughter, Millie. They wore passengers from Hamburg on tho steamer "Normania" and consequently were obliged to sutler the quarantine. Air Schmidt whs too much worn out loimedi ately after his arrival to rolals bis experi ence1, but last night ho was more refreshed and spoke frankly to a Hkrald reporter. The story is an interesting one, but tho roeitil of ail tho incidonts during tho quarantine are too longthy for ono publi cation. Mr. Schmidt said: "Wo left Hamburg on tho 'Normania' on August 20th, last. All tho passengers wero well when wo aturted, but after wo got on our journey most of the passengers wero sea sick for threo days. Tbe sea was very rough. On August 28th a passonger was taken out of the second cabin and carried away to tho ship's hospital. 11 is bedding and clnthing wero thrown overboard, but noth ing was Said to tho other passengers as to tho naturo of his illness. The paseongor died early the next morning and was buried at sea, Tbe samo day a passer ger was taken from tho first cabin nnd ho died in tbe ship's hospital six hours after his re moval. This body was also buried at sea. Tho ship's officers kept the passengers In total ignorance of tho naturo of tho sick ness and of tho deaths and burials, But when tho pastongors finally showed signs of nervousness tho officers said tbo sickness was diabetos. They afterwards acknowl edged it was diarrhoea. Threo passengers thou took sick in the steerage and they died. "On the 3rd of September wo arrived in New York. There was no sicknoss on board then, but when wo passed through the upper bay Dr. Jenkins, of tho New York health department, ordered oixr ship back to quarantine. All this time tbo pass- ongors had been kept in Ignorance of the deaths and burials, aud tho frier.diof those who had been sent to tbe hospital continued Bonding them dainties and notes. Tho officers received them as if the victims were ahvo. "Tbo doatbs worn not announced until after wo got in quarantine. "Wo romalned thoro for three days wbon ton more deaths occurred." Mr. Schmidt's recital of the Bufferings of tho pastengors while dotained upon tho quarantined "Normania," their experi-. oncts with tbo "Stoninglon," which was called to their roiief, but proved useless on account ol bur lack of fitness for sea duty, and tboir imprisonment on the "Cepbus, 1 is told In a thrilling mannor. Tbo "Ston ington's" engines were unfit fjr duty. Tho "Cophus" started from the "Nor mania" with GOO passengers on board for quarantine at riro mauu. mil wnen the "Uepbus" got to Bea it was discovered that ' tho pilot was not acquainted witb the routo j to Firo Island. For hours she cruised l about almost at random, Nght.oameon Tbo luckless p&tsmgers shivered in tha oool Bea breezo. They had no beddiof, anu noiuwg to eat or arinu. "it was u dreadful night," Mr. Schmidt sayi. At the break of day the "Cephus1- was started back for tho "Normania" and the passon gors offered thanks when they wore eafoly at her side, A pilot was tocurod and Fire Island was rtuehed at last. Mr. Schmidt says ho hopae he will never experience) another trip of tbo kind from Europe. The I'rolilbltlonlsts.
