but too late TO check the steamers head

fell across the bow, and with a crash was
forced over and sunk Three men sprang
aboard of the Norge. A boat was lowered,
ana six men and dog were picked up.
Captain Knudsen, of the Norge, said
that as a steam vessel ne was obliged TO
keep out Of the way Of all sailing craft
but this was a time when the sailing
vessel could have done more TO help her
self than the steamer. The latter was
going ahead at fnll, speed, for the log
was not, IN the judgment Of the Captain
sufficient 10 reduce Roadway. The fisher
man was an active vessel, had a good
breeze. and was under good steerage way,
but made no attempt TO avoid the collis-
ion, keeping on with sails fun until square
~ under the bow.
