= Newport, r. l., July 9.-The Fall River
line steamer Priscilla is at her pier in
this city with big hole in her port bow,
and one of her crew dead, as a result Of
a collision with the steamer Powhattan in
Narragansett bay last night in fog. The
Priscilla was struck fair by the Powhat-
tan, and her bow was nearly cut off. The
stem of the latter penetrated fully twenty
feet into the hull of the Priscilla. The
Mushroom on the main deck and the
sleeping quarters and steering engine
compartment below, were wrecked and the
steel plates of the bow torn away we'll
below the water line. The forward bulk
head was broken through thus placing
two compartments out of condition, and
rapidly sending the steamer down by the
head, so that her stern came out and the
rudder was rendered useless: The inflow
OF water very soon extinguished the cleo
trio lights, the dynamo room being. in the
vicinity Of the damaged part of the ship.
Thus the passengers. most of. whom
were in bed. were turned out Of their
rooms in darkness and their nervousness
and excitement, was intensified as thew
