THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES,

Sir,—Being one of the unfortunate passengers which
were on board the ship Imogene, sunk by collision with
the steamer Falcon, on Sunday morning last, and seeing
statements in some of the papers of to-day, which by no
means state the whole facts of the case, I am induced to
claim a small space in your columns, to put the facts fairly
before the public.
The Imogene was close hauled, the Falcon running
before the wind, when the collision occurred ; and, after the
collision, the steamer stood on for fully two miles, before she
either slacked speed or rounded to. After this she came
alongside, and was requested to stay by the Imogene, and
lower a boat to our assistance, as by this time we feared
the vessel was sinking. Instead of this, she passed slowly
a-head, and again rounded to at some distance, without
sending any assistance to us. We signalised her by waving
our lights to come alongside, but finding this did
not have the desired effect, we fired a gun two
or three times, on which she came alongside and lowered a
boat. Before this time, Captain Williams had one of his
boats lowered, into which he put all the passengers, seven
in number, and paid every attention to their safety, carrying
a lady, who was one of them, down the ladder into the boat.
We thus got on board the steamer about 4 a.m., and found
not the slightest attention paid us by either her captain or
officers, who allowed us to remain on deck, wherever one
could find a place to lie or stand in. The Captain and crew
of the Imogene came on board some time afterwards, and
on the last boat, containing five hands, coming alongside,
and before any of the men were out of her, the order was
given to turn a-head ; this was done, and the boat was
stove, and nearly swamped alongside by so doing. She was
then let go a-stern, and the steamer, by Captain Williams's
request to her captain, " not to drown his men before his
eyes," was stepped, and the men pulled up again alongside,
and, by climbing up the ropes on the ship's side, saved their
lives. As the day wore on, we naturally felt the want of
refreshment, and, on applying for some, a small quantity
of brandy was supplied, for which we were each charged one
shilling—a portion so small that, at any reasonable hotel,
might have been obtained for threepence. Some coffee was
afterwards supplied the passengers and officers of the
Imogene, for which Captain Wiliiams paid, and some broken
victuals, bread, &c., from the table, supplied to the crew.
This was the only attention paid to us for the twelve hours
we were on hoard. To Captain Williams, and his officers,
I feel myself infinitely obliged for their uniform kindness,
coolness in danger, and attention to our wants under most
hying circumstances; and I am requested by all my fellow-
passengers to tender to them our sincerest thanks for the
kindness and manly bearing with which they attended to
eversthirg necessary to our safety, and to state that, under
Providence, we owe our lives to their exertions and the
excellent discipline of the crew. Captain Williams wan the
last man to leave the vessel, which was so fast sinking when
he left he-, that the mainmast was in the water, and in five
minutes after he left she went down headforemest.—Oa
behalf of the passengers by the Imogene, I am, sir, yours,
&e, WILLIAM J ENKE N,
Engineer, Sailors' Home, Liverpool.
