Steamers Collide.

MONTREAL, Que, Nav pa serious col
lision occurred in the river early this morn
ing between the royal mail steamer Polyne-
sian, of the Allen line, commanded by Capt.
Hugh Wylie, and the steamer Cynthia, OF the
Donaldson line, commended by Capt John
Taylor, resulting in the sinking of the latter
vessel and the loss of eight of her crew. The
Polynesian left port and proceeded down the
Yarennes channel. Opposite Point 1rembles
she perceived the Cynthia inward bound.
There IS dangerous curve in the channel at
this point, a nd thr rough some misunderstand-
ing of the rule of tle road" the POlynesian
was brought into collision with the Cynthia,
striking her on the port bow and causing
such gap in her side as to sink her i'll 4 few
minutes, the vessel filing with great rapid
ity. Ihuse on deck had barely time to rush
below and warn tine members OF The crew
who were off watch and asleep in their
btrths to get on deck and swim ashore to
save their lives The Cynthia carried nc
passengers She was from G aSgow. with q
general cargo, chiefly Of pig iron. Following
is list of the crew of the Cynthia who lost
their lives:
Hugh Irving, chief clerk, of Glasgow: Alexan-
der Nicholas, sailor, Glasgow; Andrew Vance
and Charles McCracken, trimmers: James Low,
fireman. Glasgow: James Ferron, boatsWa1n:
Charles BlackstOck, mess room boy, and David
Young, a stOwaway from Glasgow.
The cargo of the Cynthia comprised about
5 so tons of pig iron ard 500 tons of coal
Though the people on the Polynesian must
have teen quite aware of the damage
wrought, the vessel never stopped to tender
aid. The sailors of the CYNTHIA claim that
| the Polvuesian steamed right ahead and that
had she stopped she could have saved the
men who were drowned. They also state
| that there were fifteen men on shore who
| although there were boats near by, did not
raise finger even in an attempt to rescue
the drowning sailors The Poiynesian had g
