MANY WERE DROWNED.
A Collision Between Two Steamships in
the Mediterranean.

A Collision Between Two Steamships in
the Mediterranean.
A collision has taken place off Cape
Colonna, Italy, the most southern point Of
Attica, between an Italian steamship, the
Taormina, of the Ital an Messageries Com
pany, and Greek steamship, the Thessalia.
The Tao5mina sank soon after the accident,
drowning her captain, several of her crew and
40 of her cabin passengers.
The second officer of the Taormina and a
number of passengers, who were standing on
the bridge at the time the collision occurred,
were saved by the boats of the Thessala.
Later.-Most of the Taormina's passengers
were in their berths at the time and the latest
estimate is that 100 persons were drowned.
The Tressalia was badly damaged forward,
but by keeping .he pumps going the steamer
just succeeded in reaching Phaleron.
RoME.-ln an interview with correspond
ent, Captain Pimas, Of the steamer Thessulia,
said:
The Taormina's captain must have mist ken
his course. | did everything possible, but
could not avoid running into The Taormina
We abandoned the Taorfnina, after launching
a boat which was swamped by a drowning
sal or, because the 1hessaiia was leaking and
threatened TO sink.
The crew of the Thessalia gave different
statements, 10 the effect that the pumps were
not started until three hours after the eolli-
on, but they agree that the Taormina s
people had no chance, as she sank i'm
mediately.
A terrible scene Of panic followed the colli-
sion. Many passengers were pitched into the
hold through open matches by the shock.
Some lcaped aboard the Thessalia, which
resumed her course i've Iuinutes aiterward,
beedess OF the signals OF distress.
