(Peii XTnited Press Association.) WESTPORT, June 22. Tho Anchor liner s.s. Kennedy, 226 tens, had a rough handling in tho Bullor roadistead to-day. The ejector feed pipe carried away, and, the vessel being short of coal, Captain Beggett decided to attempt to work tho bar, although thero was a very heavy eea running at the time. Tho heavy seas knocked tho vessel out of the channel, and for a time it looked as if thero was littlo hope of her being saved. The captain, however, got her out of a perilous position with tho loss of one lifeboat' and eome decking, and made te sea. Late in th© afternoon a further attempt was mado te get into port, and, after a trying experienco with heavy seas, and with the signals against entry, this was accomplished, with tho ongine-room about half full of water. The second engineer, second mate, and a sailor all sustained slight injuries while the vessel was getting tho gruelling in the heavy sea.
