The main topic of conversation TN the
Pawtuxet Valley villages last night was
the collision between the Mount Hope
and Queen City. The general verdict Of
the large number Of persons who attended
the Sunday-school excursion was that 1t
was very narrow escape
The NEWS was in great demand. and all
who read its report said that 1t was cor
Sect In every respect.
There were over 800 persons represent
ing the River Point, Natick, Apponang
and East Greenwich Sunday schools on
board the Mount Hope.
Three years ago, the same boat with
the same schools got stuck In the mud
Just out of East Greenwich two years
ago they struck sand bar and yesterday
the struck something else.
The scene on the Mount Hope when
the two boats collided was difficult TO
describe. The men rushed frantically for
the ife-preservers, tearing away the cleats
In their efforts to secure as many as pos
sible. One woman tainted away, another
fell on her knees and begun to pray, while
a third, who hailed from Natick, set upon
one Of the seats with ife-preserver tied
around her feet, while the young man OPP
posite cried out In loud voice. "Let her
20 Smith," which produced a laugh not
withstanding the serious situation.
Upon the arrival OF the boat at Crescent
Park for dinner many took the other
boats to Providence not caring TO take q
further trip. The boat conveyed its pas
sengers to Newport, arriving at East
Greenwinch at 6:10 p. m. The passengers
cannot bestow too much praise upon the
officers of the boat who by their judgment
averted what might have been serious
panic.
