Reuter's special correspondent aboard the latest Italian luxury liner, wirelesses a graphic account of the mishap episode, which brought the Conte di Savoia to a stop in mid-Atlantic about eight hundred miles from New York, owing to a breakdown of a turbo-generator, a break in an exhaust valve causing a serious leak.

It is a strange coincidence that the Conte di Savioa's sister-ship, the Rex, also developed serious trouble in her engine room on her maiden voyage a few weeks ago, The feature of the mishap to the Conte di Savoia, according to Reuter's man, was the bravery of a seaman named Amatruda, who volunteered to plug the holo in
