THE COLLISION YESTERDAY.
What the Captain of the Polynesian
Says.

QUEBEC, May 23.-The steamer Polynesian,
Cynthia yesterday morning, is moored at
Allan's wharf here. She presents shattered
appearance.
The cargo in that portion of the vessel, which
consisted of lard i'll barrels, has foated out.
The vessels salvation is attributed to her
spiendidly built iron bulkheads
Capt. Wylie did not wish to make an extended
statement. as all would be told when the official
investigation into the collision is held
He said. however, that upon meeting the
Cynthia he blew the whistle twice
and backed his ship. He was on the right
side, SO much so that he could go no further
The Cynthia tried to cross his bow, and that
was the cause of the collision.
AT the time of the accident Capt. Wylie, the
first officer and pilot were on the bridge. and
all who were on deck at the time on board the
POynesian state that they did their best to
avoid the collision. The report sent
from Montreal stated that eight men lost their
lives on the Cynthia, but this number has been
reduced by at least one--James Low, a
quartermaster of the ill-fated steamer who
escaped death and got ON board the Polynes-
ian in most miraculous manner. He stated
that he was relieved from the wheel shortly
before o'clock and went into his berth.
While there the crash came, and when the
vessels closed for a second he crept through
the gap in his own vessel into that made in the
! Polynesian and thus saved his life. He states
| that the Cynthias crew consisted of thirty-fve
men besides four stowaways, acrobats, who
were working their way to Chicago. One of
the poor fellows was drowned.
