TWO COLLISIONS N THE STORM.

THE PERSIA Runs INTO AN UNKNOWN STEAMER
AND THE FERRYBOAT FANWOoD AID THE
FREIGHTER NASHUA CRASH TOGETHER
The squat which passed over the CITY yesterday
afternoon. momcntarily covering III" BAY with q
dense fog. and lashing the waters Of IN" harhpr
into fury. was probably the cause OF TWO Collisions
one in the North River and one below Bedlo" 5
Island.
As the Hamburg American Line steamship Persia
was coming up the harbor after passing quarantine.
she ran into an unknown outward-hound steamer OF
Robbins Reef The guardrail only Of the Persia
was damaged. TWO children. siecrAgc passengers.
were leaning the rail at the time. and were IN
jured. one them badly that his hand may nave"
TO he amputated. Tho unknown steamer Kept on
her course, apparently not damaged.
The other collision was between the w-Jersr}
Central Railroad fcrryboat Fanwood and the Prov
dcnce and StoninGton Line frcighicr Nashua. II
was at 5:3s that the FanwOOd. crowded Win 90
passengers. started out OF her llbcrty-si SIP 10
cross the river to Jersey city. The Nashua. going
down the North River on her way 10 Stonn,; on
was hugging the Ncw-YOrk shore, and struck IN"
Fanwood just as the latter cleared ner slip. There
was great excitement among the passengers; hui
no one was hurt. The Nashua was going SLOWLY
and was not damaged. The boats backed clear OF
each other and kept their way The Fanwood
was up after she had landed her passengers IN
jersey City.
