CROWDED FERRY
IN COLLISION.
OiIFloatRams
tie Flushing OF the
Long Island City Line
in Midstream.

Between 1900 and 1900 passengers
on the Long Island Railroad ferry
boat Flushing were thrown into a
panic at 8 o'clock this morning by the
boat being rommed in midstream on
its trip from Long Island City by a
Standard Oil scow heavily loaded
with tanks. The ferry-boat was filed
with commuters from the fashionable
shore resorts on Long Island, includ-
ing many women.
Several Of the women tainted in
the excitement and there was a rush
for life-preseryers. BY the GOODNESS
Of some OF the men a serious panic
was averted.
The scow struck the ferry-boat just
abaft the s~tarboard paddle wheel. 1t
carried away the guard rail and
stanchions, and out for the quickness
of the captain of the tug towing the
scow, 1t would hive crashed directly
head on into the mems cabin. The
captain shifted his wheel in time to
make the blow glancing, doubtless
saving many lives.
The Flushing was not damaged
enough to need help, and proceeded
to the East Thirty-fourth street ferry
under its own steam. The big crowd
OF passengers was shaken up and
scared. but none was hurt.
