Two steamers Come Together
and a Great Panic and LOSS of
Lie FOIlOw-There Seems to
Have Been no Cause for the Dis
aster.
LONDON, Aug. 2s.-A despatch from
Melbourne states that collision
occurred at one O'Clock this morning
inside port Phillip Heads between the
steamers Gambler and Easley.
The Gambler was bound from Sydney,
n. S. W., for Melbourne and was Just
clearing the Heads when she met the
Easley bound out. 1t was impossible
for the vessels to clear each other. and
the Easley struck the Gambler amidshiPs
crushing deep in her side.
A scene of terrible confusion and excite
ment followed. Most OF the passengers
were in their berths asleep. They rushed
tranticallv for the boats, but there was
no tit1c to lower them. The Easlcy re-
mained alongside the Gambler and res
cued many Of the latter's passengers and
crew.
Seven minutes after the collision the
Gambler sank carving with her hVe
saloon passengers, fifteen steerage passen-
gers and six OF the crew.
No explanation is given for the coils
ion. The sea was calm and the night
clear and it is stated that proper look
outs were not kept on either OF the
steamers.
