THE
VESSEL'S CURIOUS
PLIGHT
}
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WEIGHING ANCHOR
A SMASHED WINDLASS
The
蘩
Kales played untold havoe with shipping, but few vessels met with a more curious ex- perience than the German East African liner Adolph Woormann (8,577 tons), which arrived off Southampton from Durban.
The vessel came up Channel in a fierce gale and dropped anchor off the Nab Buoy in St. Helen's Bay to await a pilot. When in duo course an attempt was made to weigh anchor, it was found that one of her "hooks" had fouled a sub merged object and could not be raised. Her other anchor was be ing hauled in when that also fouled an obstruction. The rise and fall of the ship due to the heavy seas, coupled with the sudden check on the winding process, smashed the windlass.
It was a curious plight for a vessel to be in when so near port; and the only way out was taken by the agents of the German East African services, namely, to send down a tug equipped with actylene burners so that the anchor's chaina might be burnt through.' That operation was carried out in ap- proximately half an hour, and after the chains had been buoyed the Adolph Woermann proceeded to Southampton, where she docked. No time was lost in making arrange- ments for the necessary repairs, and Messrs. Harland and Wolff were to fit a new windlass, which was being cent from Newcastle.

It was hoped to two anchors, each weighing 4% tons, from their position in St. Helen's Bay. Failing their covery in time to permit of this, the Adolph Woermann was to be equipped with two new anchors. The vessel's enforced stay Southampton had necessitated ar- rangements being made for the transportation of her passengers to Hamburg, and they left South- ampton via Harwich for Germany, There were only 24 of them, as the vegsel was practically cleared Genoa.
