TOLD BY PASSENGERS.
THEIR ACCOUNTS DIFFER IN DETAILS
But AGREE on ESSENTIALS.

William r. wambeck Of No. 347 Third-ave
gave the following account Of the accident TO a
Tribune reporter:
i was a passenger on board the Mortified,
which left her slip at Whitehall-st. at O'CLOCK
j was going over to Staten Island on pleasure
trip for the evening and to get breath OF air.
The boat was crowded with passengers. We
had hardly left the slip when our boat gave two
toots of the whistle. This was responded TO
soon afterwerd by toots from the ferryboat
Mauch Chunk. of the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey The Jersey boat coming from the
Jersey shore. and was bound up the East River.
I was seated on the upper deck, and noticed
that the Mauch Chunk coming toward
rapidly but thought nothing of it, since the
ferryboats often get 70 close quarters in the
river. Everybody thought that our boat had
the right OF way, and could not understand why
she went slowly. AS the Jersey ferrybOat
bore down still nearer. one Of the pas
sengers. a tall man in a light suit and Fedora
room:
For Gods sake. start your engines to work
or there'll be colisionr' That seemed TO scare
some Of the women, and few Of them screamed.
Our boat, nevertheless, barely moved, and the
next minute after the man had called into the
engine room there came a crash which threw
every to the floor. The Mauch Chunk had
struck the Mortified the starboard side and
the impact crushed in the timbers if they were
straws.

IL could be seen that the rudder box OF the
boat was injured. and that she was almost help

heavy tde running upstream, which carried
us along with IL rapidly.
Several tugs passed us without offering any

came up. The women were taken aboard the
tugs as rapidly as possible Some, in their
haste, fell into the water, but fished OUT.

on her until the end. and then walked off.

tain Cullen said they had the right 10 get infor-
nation about the accident Mr.. Robins said the
yard was private property and the reporters
must get out He called some of his workrnsn

set no information from any of the men en-
ployed In the yard The men did not even dare
TO tell their names

use by the quartermaster's department among
the islands. Her interior was being altered FOR
this service. and two courses of plates had
been placed on her hull. at the bow and at tne
stern. to give her more freeboard for the voyage
she being small steamer. She had been IN
Robins's yards for nearly two months. ana
was to sail the latter part OF this month. Work
was being rushed on her to get her done within
the contract time.
