board the New York. 81
Advices at the American line ofiices In
this city are to the effect that neither
vessel was seriously damaged.
The Delano presented diiapidated ap-
pearsnce. She had large gaping hole
in her bow. which extended from the
forecastle head down twenty feet towards
the water line.
The steamers pretty ngurehead anA
bowsprit were gone. and the forstoo.
mast and fore-rigging had been carried
away
The plates In the steamers starboard
side were bent and twisted into every
conceivable shape. and the crowd on the
pier wondered at the narrow escape from
death Of Capt Evans. his wife and child
and his crew of twenty-seven seameu.
When the collision occurred the De-
lano was steaming to the eastward az
Il ten-knot rate, and the big New York
WAS bowling along at about nineteen
knots Rn hour.
The steamers collided on Georges
Shoals, about 200 miles OF the Connects
| cut coast.
The night was dark, and after the
| steamers came together the passengers
on the New York were greatly excited.
They ran out on deck In their anxiety
and piled Capt. Jamison with all sorts
OF questions regarding the steamers
safety. All hands were ordered on
deck, and the big liner was carefully
examined from stem to stern.
No damage OF any extent was found
and the passengers were soon quieted.
Meanwhile the Delano was tossing
about near by. waiting to learn the ex-
tent OF the New York's injuries. Capt.
Jamison signalled "All WELL" and Capt
Evans steamed away to the westward.
| AT the time of the collision Capt. Evans
and his wife and little son were asleep
In the after cabin. When the crash OF
the collision came Capt. Evans went Inn
medlately on deck and assumed charge.
Mrs Evans remained in the cabin and
went to sleep again when her husband
sent in word that the ship was In no
| danger.
Among those on board the New York
were Capt w, O. Hickok and the eight
| athletes who are to represent Yale
against oxford at the Queens Grounds.
