phin Collides with New
York HarbOr Boat.

New York, Aug. IA collision oc-
Cured this morning between the ferry
boat New York of the Williamsburg line
and the United States gunbdat Dolphin.
TLe bow Of the eunboat cut through the
ferry boat into the engine room; breaking
the main shaft and damaging consider
able machinery. The gunboat's beam was
bent and several feet OF the rail torn
away. The New York was in the cen
ter of the river when the Dolphin, which
was coming up stream, signaled that she
would cross her bows. The New York 5
engines were stopped, but the strong cur
rent carried her directly in the path of
the Dolphin and the gunboat's bow
struck the ferryboat just ahead of the
paddle box. The ferryboat, with the aid
of tugs. reached the slip ut Broadway,
Williamsburg. The gunboat proceeded
up the river.
Secretary of the Navy Long was aboard
the Dolphin. That the injuries to the
Dolphin were triiling is evidenced by the
fact that she continued on her way up
the river and passed City island at 9:40
a. IN.
