numbers thirty-eight persons. The collision
occurred 168 miles southeast Of Cape Hsnlopen.
The Benson struck the Eureka square amidships.
The captain of the Benson says be had stopped
his ship shortly before the collision take

slow speed. and his ship was swinging around
when the Eureka came down upon him at full
speed, the fog in the meanwhile having grown

rush OF water carried away everything In the
forecsstls. There are nineteen inches Of water

Sunday morning was alternately fair and fogey.
At IL o'clock the fog was so dense that he could
not take observations, and ne took sound
inRs to ascertain his position. After
taking soundines, and while the ship
was going at slow speed he went below
to look at the chart He heard his ship
give one whistle, and hurried on deck. The
mate told him vessel was on the port bow. He
gave the proper signal and ordered the helm to
port. whom two blasts from the approaching
steamer caused him to starbosrd his helm, and
as his vessel was swineing around the unknown
ship doomed up through the fog and came down
upon him at full speed His bow struck her
squarely just abaft the bridge on the starboard
side. Before the unknown ship was lost to sight
in the fog the mate read her name, Eureka
The Benson lay to, and when the fog lifted, in
about half an hour, the Eureka was not to DO

have been hidden by the fog then lying some

thought impossible. the Eureka WAS struck in
her most vital part The Benson would have
sunk at once but for her wstsr-tight compsrt-
