Ship blaze leaves 1,7(1
afloat off Florida coal
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A cruise
ship adrift not far from TYopical
Storm Harvey got one engine start
ed yesterday and headed further
out into the Gulf of Mexico to es
cape the cyclone.
Seas around Carnival Cruise
Line’s Tropicale swelled up to 12
feet as the vessel, carrying 1,700
passengers and crew, moved away
from the storm’s projected path.
“If they were under their own
power they could break through
these waves with no problem,
otherwise they are at the mercy of
the seas,” Coast Guard spokesper
son Jeff Murphy said. “They
could be rocking and rolling a bit
with each swell.”
Harvey, which was about 180
miles west-southwest of St. Pe
tersburg late yesterday after
noon, was expected to make
landfall in the Tampa Bay area
midday today. Coast Guard offi
cials planned to close the Port of
Tampa last night.
The Tropicale had been
scheduled to return to Tampa
yesterday morning after a four-
day cruise through Key West and
Cozumel, Mexico.
“It seems the winds
could easily be 40
or 50 miles per hour.
That's not good news."
— Todd Kimberlain
National Hurricane Center
But both the 670-foot vessel’s en
gines were damaged in a fire that
broke out in the engine room Sun
day night, leaving it adrift about 100
miles southwest of Tampa, Carnival
spokesperson Tim Gallagher said.
Crews managed to restart the star
board motor yesterday afternoon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Under orders from Repub
lican leaders, House-Senate bargainers are moving to
ward providing at least some of the $1.8 billion the Air
Force wants for its first, futuristic F-22 stealth fighters,
congressional aides said yesterday.
The House cut the money, enough to build the first
six F-22s, from a Pentagon spending bill in July de
spite support for the program by the Senate and the
Clinton administration.
But Friday, GOP leaders told lawmakers crafting a
final version of the defense bill to restore the money,
said aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity. That
order highlighted the desire by top Republicans to re
solve differences and complete as many of the 13 fis
cal 2000 spending bills as possible before the govern
ment’s new year begins on Oct. 1.
According to aides. House bargainers orrjie pro(
the weekend to provide enough money forfi blit instt
aircraft, which the Air Force envisions at isinart p
