The Campania had her bows stove in,
but arrived safely al Liverpool FIVE and
half hours late.
The Campania was little injured. but
had narrow escape from a serious dis
aster. The fog had delayed her passage
rec Friday noon, and a tender went out
T ON Queenstown four miles, as Capt.
Walker would not take the liner near
shore
At Tuskar light the fog was becoming
denser every moment. When the Cam

of the light phantom ship rose suddenly
Thirty seconds later the phantom had he
come solid sailing vessel, into which
the liner crashed, her steel forefoot go
ing through the Embleton like the clean
cut of a sword and dividing her Just
abaft the mainmast. The forward h1if
sank instantly. The stern swung vicious
ly round and the mast and yards for a
moment tore at the Campanie.
From the instant the phantom came into
view from the bridge of the Campania
until the last vestige of the vessel van
ished, some sixty or eighty seconds had
elapsed.
According to the Embeltons survivors
for nearly half an hour before the collis-
ion, the captain and first officer were be-
low at breakfast, and although the fog
whistle of large tseamer could be heard
every minute, the bark never shifted her
course, the helmsman receiving no order.
When, al S:25 a. m, the second officer, to
use his own phrase. heard the rush of

captain, who rushed on deck, but he was
too late to give an order.
The Campana was under one-third
steam. The captain, first officer and pilot
were on the bridge. The engines were in
stantly reversed and the helm put hard
down. No precaution was omitted
Some of the passengers had
even grumbled at what they called
superfuous caution. After the crash ana
the sudden cries. the boats were quickly
got out. There were no signs Of panic;
the crew were everywhere at their sta
tions; the best discipline was maintained; /;
the bulkheads were closed and everything
possible was done to save life.
Some of the Campanias plates were bent
by the collision; her forepeak filled with
water her foretopmast was broken short
off and her steel rigging torn and twisted
The passengers held meeting ADOPT ed

solutely necessary. The Yaquis are really
superior people. The large companies
operating in Sonora say they make the
best workmen. but there are turbulent
