The trawler Nulture was on the fish
| ing grounds. fifteen miles from the
Eddystone lighthouse, last night. The
night had been clear, but just before l
o'clock a thick fog arose. Those aboard
the vulture heard a great blowing of
whistles and then terrific crash. The
/ VulJure proceeded Immediately to the
! spot from which the sounds issued, and
went alongside the steamship Edam,
which was rapidly filling. Capt. Bruins
ma of the Edam, requested that the
Vulture stand by. The ships boats
were then quickly lowered and the pas
sengers were helped into them without
accident.
The passengers were greatly alarmed,
but there was no panic among them.
The majority went on deck without
having taken time to dress The wo-
men and children were first embarked
in the ships boats. The sea at the
time of the collision was perfectly
smooth
The steamer Turkistan, which did not
appear TO have sustained serious injury
/ by the collision, stood by until danger
was past and then proceeded in the
direction OF Cardiff. The Edam found
cred at o'clock, two hours after the
collision.
The Edam and Turkistan came to-
gether with great force, although they
were proceeding cautiously in the fog
The Turkistans prov made great hole
| in the side of the Edam. Both vessels
/ Immediately lowered boats and many
| passengers were transferred from the
| Edam by the Turkistan's boats to those
of the former snip.
Everything is being done at Plymouth
to make the Shipwrecked people COM
Portable and to supply them with cloth
ing, as all their baggage was lost. The
Edam had on board SO steerage passen-
! gers.
