NEW YORK. Oct. St.-Fhe PensyEva-
Railway Company's ferry boat Chicago,
plying between cortlandt street. this
city. and the Pennsylvanla railway de-
pot, Jersey City, was cut down by the
Savannah line ateamshtp City df Au-
gusta about ! o'clock this morning, as
the ferry boat was crossing to the east
side Of the North river. Within few
minutes Of the collision, and before the
chicago could make her slip. she sunk
In rs feet o. water. 1t is not definitely
known how many passengers were on
board the Chicago at the time OF the
disaster, but the number is variously
estimated at from 80 to 100. One man,
John Bryson. is known 70 have been
droWndd. HIS body was recovered.
Fireman vroom, of the Chicago, Is
missing, and is thought to have been
caught in the stoke hole, It IS not Inn
probable that other Lives were lost.
When the Chicago left JerBey City at
i9:4la. M, Captain William Durham

deeR hands was at the Wheel The
night tWas perfectly clear.
The tide was ebbipg fast, and Cap

up stream. AS he neared the New York
shore he put his helm over to head into

she was coming up stream and very
close.
Captain Durham gave two blas's OF
his whistle to signify his Intention to
pass to starboard. and putting his
helm apart he rang the signal to go
ahead at full speed. The City Of Au-
Rusta, Captain Durham says. did not
reply to the signal, but kept right in
her course. A moment later the city
Of Augusta rammed the Chicago Just

board side. A scene Of wild excitement
followed.
The passengers, most OF whom had
risen to so to the forward end Of the
ferry boat to be prepared to leave as
she reached her slip. made wild
scramble for life preservers. Forum
ately there were few women aboard
not more than I'VE or slx-and at first
they were showed to the rear. George
Blumenstock and George Ray, truck
men, who we're coming over to the city
with their loads OF milk, jumped into
the middle of the struggling mass and
yelled: Hands off. The women FIRST.
Save the women"
A score OF men took up the shout,
and in trIce the women werl fitted
with life preservers. The small num-

persons must have gone down In the
chilly waters before help came.
The dockhands displayed commend
able courage. Captain Durham and
Chief Engineer Penheld set them splen-
old examples. Captain Durham was
the laSr man to leave his boat. He
kept up constant call for help with
his whistle. and when he finally left he
tied the whistle to keep up the sound,
