POGERS's YACHT RAns FERRYBO4T
THE OWNER ON BOARD WHEN THE COL
LIsICsN OCCURS.

The fast steam yacht Kanawha- owned by H.
H Rogers Of the Standard Oil Company, ran
into the ferryboat Rockaway of the James Slip
ferry Of the Long Island Railroad yesterday
morning. Although neither vessel suffered seri-
Gus damage it was considered that the prompt
action Of Captain Roy Of the Rockaway, in re
versine the engines of his vessel and throwing
her 10 port prevented a head-on collision, which
would possibly have resulted in sinking one or
both Of the vessels. Mr.. Rogers the
Kanawha. and there were about four hundred
brokers. bankers. lawyers and others on the
ferryboat. on their way TO business from their
summer homes on Long Island. Besides the
passengers there were q large number of ex-
press packages on the Rockaway. The col
lision occurred just above the new East River
Bridge. The damage TO The Kanawha consist
ed of the loss Of parts Of her bridge and her
rail. Mr.. Rogersss mahogany launch was also
lost. The yacht went to Tebos yard, where
she was repaired. She was able TO leave the
yard in the afternoon. A part OF the hood and
three Of the windows Of the forward cabin on
the starbosrd side were carried away the
RockaWay,
Captain Roy OF the Rockaway told the fol-
lowing story Of the accident: II left Long Isl
and City at $40 o'clock, and proceeded down
the river in midstreara. The first thing I saw
was tugboat towing a three uasted schooner
upstream. Directly behind the schooner was the
Kanawha, coming up the river. Directly ahead
OF the RockaWay was the ferryboat Sycamore,
going in the same direction the Rocka away.
The kanaWha exchanged signals with the Saga
more, and then I sounded one blast, to indicate
that 7 would pass the port side The ka-
naWha responded. \ few moments later the
Kanawha blew two whistles and came under
the stern Of the schooner, which was approach
ing my port side, and started 70 cross the
bows Of the Rockaway. She was coming d.
rectIy toward US. I saw that 4 collision was
Inevitable, and Immediately rang the bell 10
fun speed astern" I swung my helm over and
this, with the reversing Of the engines, threw
the vessel TO port, so that the Kanawha struck
slancing blow starboard bow, Had
the Rockaway not been thrown over port
the vessels would have met head on, and il is
my opinion that one, if not both, would have
gone to the bottom. AS neither Of the vessels
was seriously damaged, both proceeded on their
way. The Kanawha anchored at East Twenty
third-st., and when I returned from James
Slip ran close to her Mr.. Rogers. who
on board. shouted out that it vas not my
fault
