others whose names are yet unknown.
The following particulars show the
cause of the disaster: The Hamilton
left tie slip on the Brooklyn side at
1920, with great number of passen
gers. As she neared the New York
side she encountered the flood
tide, and she was headed down stream
in order to meet the counter tide and
enter the slip. At this time, it is
alleged, southern propeller, which
was endeavoring to enter neighbOr.
ing slip, let go her stern line and
swung around, thus blockadlng up
the entrance to the Fulton ferry slip.
The helmsman of the Hamilton then
headed his boat between the propeller
and the bulk head, In order to enter
the slip; there was not sufficient room
between the propeller and pier, and it
at once became evident that a
disaster was unavoidable. The
propeller scarcely moved. In a
moment the Hamilton crashed
against the ferryboat Union, which
lay chained in a slip adjoining her
own. AboU. one thousand passen-
gers were on board the Hamilton,
coming to their business In this city,
fully oDe-half of whom crowded to
the forward part of the boat. Thus
the large crowd on the forward deck
caused the Hamilton to sink several
inches below the guards of the Union
which latter had light load on board.
The momentum of the Hamilton car
ried her guards underneath those of
the Union. The forward deck of the
Hamilton was densely packed with
passengers. The warning was so
brief that, as it was impossible for
them to retreat, number were caught
between the guards Of the boats, as
they overlapped. and terribly crushed.
The ladies' cabin of the Hamilton
was crushed In, and the scene became
heart-rending beyond description.
Terrified women and children scream
ed for help, while the cheeks of strong
men were blanched with fear. For
moment those in the cabin expected
to see the boat go down or be crush
ed. A effort was made by many of
the passengers In the cabin to reach
shore, believing the boat was about
to sink, and several persons we're
knocked down and trampled on.
Five persons were killed or mortally
wounded, and twenty seriously in
iured.
