which 1,000 frightened steers had
broken their deck pens, stampeded
and left in the ocean behind the ship
a trail of drowning beasts.
When the animals broke loose many
of them were gored or trampled to
death and others were shoved over-

or injuries before the animals were
herded back into their pens.
