sank at the outer end OF the Spanish
line pier in the East river.
The Ma,ph Chunk. which WAS badly
damaged. landed two dozen passen-
gers who We're aboard of her. Over
100 of the passengers OF the sunkcn

ter by people alongside shore and the
crews of the fleet OF river tugs, which
promptly responded to the ferry boats
call for help. A few OF the North
fields passengers We're hurt in the ac-
cidcnt and the police believe that some
lives were lost.
Captain Daniel Gully of the tu.boat
Mutual. who saw the ferry boats crash
together. says that Immediately after
the collision between twenty-five and
thirty of the passengers leaped into the
water and that many OF those per-
ished. Captain Gully also declared that
he Is sure that over 100 of the North

captains of other tugbOats who We're
early on the scene. are inclined. how
ever. to think that the disaster was not
30 serious as regards loss of life. Thus
far no dead bodies have been recov-
erei.
The reason for such difference OF
opinion as to the extent of the disaster
is that the widest excitement pre-
vailed on the Northiicld. The tug Mu-
iual saved in all about Scvcnty-fivc per-

nearly thirty people between them. As
soon ms the crowd which had followed
the sinking ferry boat along the river
front were able to render any aid they
worked with Il will. and in many in
stances men sprang into the water to
save life. The greatest service was
rendered by the tug boats. which cir
cled around the Northfield and made

and women clambered over the tugs to

CAPTAIN Abraham johnson was In
charge of the Northtield and Captain
=. C. Griffin was in command OF the
Mauch Chunk. Each lays the blame
for the collision on the other.
The Northfeld, with load OF pas

100, at 6:O1 p. IN. started out of the
west slip mt Whitehall street for st.

slip Mt Communpow for whitehall

OF the barge office at the Battery when
the Ncrthficld came out OF the slip.
An exchange OF whistles between
the boats was follwcl by the crash.
As The humping OF the ferry boats is
not unusual I'm this harbor the passen-
gers on tho Mortified did not for a
minute or so realize the seriousness or
the collision. When. however. two
tiremcn ran up on deck to save them
selves from the inflow of water and
the Northficld was being driven at full
speed up the East river instead of
down toward Staten island, and all the
time scrccching for help. they knew
that something serious had happened.
Then commenced the panic. which
continued until the Northfcld went
down At no time was the Northteld
more than 800 feet out in the river be-
yonI the bulkhcad line, but the tide
WAS running with the velocity of a
mill race. and had the vessel sunk out
in the stream only the tugs would
have been able to give assistance.

A teacher in the Boys High School of

ment. but for general improvement
This method, instead of being based on
the pupils competition with his fell

with himself. 1t assumes that it is
more of an honor to gain a prize for
steady improvement, which means
faithful and persistent work, than to
gain one for high percentage Of
