FATAL COLLISION BETWEEN AN AMERICAN
SCRAW STEAMER AND A BRIO.

Yesterday Mr. Baker and a respectable jury met
at the Town of Ramsgate, Wapping, to institute an
inquiry relative to the death of George Grainger,
aged 26, who, with another man, whose body has
nut been found, named George Ta'e, was drowned
on the 7th inst., off Erith, in c( nsequence of a 'col-
lision between the American and European screw
steamer Argo, of 2,300 tons, and the Wilthen, 171
tons, of Whitby, to which they were attached.
dr. E. Waites, solicitor, Greenwich, attended
for Mr. Grainger, captain of the Wilthed, whose
son was one of the unfortunate deceased, and Mr.
C. Willsher was engaged for the company.
J. Maggissen, cook on board the the Wilthen, said
that the crew of the vessel, which was laden with
coals, consisted of the captain, the mate (Tate), him-
self, and four others. Ou the in question, about
four in the afternoon, they were near Erith, he-
edified, and in the middle of the stream of the
Thames, when they saw the Argo approaching
them. The captain and some more of the men
ca!led out those on board the Argo to port the helm.
Witness saw no alteration in the ship's course, upon
observing whi-th he, Grainger, and Tats, together
with two men got into the boat at the stern of the
vessel, in the water. They had scarcely reached it
when the Wilthen was struck by the Argo, which
afterwards passed over the boat, sending the whole
of those in it into the water. Witness and two of
the men were saved by a boat of the Preventive
service.

In answer to the coroner, the witness said that
after the call from those on board the Wilthenthere
was plenty of time for the pilot of the Argo to pass
clear of them. The captain had no power over the
vessel as there was no wind. It was high tide,
and the vessel was dropping down with the stream.
The Argo, he thought, was going 14 knots an hour.
By a Juror—The stern of the vessel was taken
clean off, and the main rigging was taken away.
Had there been a swell it would have still. It was
af:erwards towed ashore by a steamer. The
steamer did not stop, nor give assistance, though it
had boats on board.
Peacock, a Preventive officer, who saved the
lives of the three raeu' confitned the evidence. He
was about 300 yards tif, and distinctly hard a call
on hoard the Wilthen, "port helm." He thought
there was time for the steamer to have pased ou
either side of the brig. The steamer was goin,,
with great speed. He saw no reason why it should
not have kept the middle of the river. The brig
was plainly to be seen, and there was no craft

near it.
Mr. Waites, after some remarks from the coroner
as to whether the affair was likely to be entertained
criminally, observed he was instructed to say that
the case would be left in the hands of the coroner
and jury.
The coroner finally adjourned the inquiry to
Thursday next, directing that, in the meanwhile,
a lost rnortem examinai ion of the body should take
place.
