STEAMER CANADA
IN A COLLISION
Strikes a Coal Collier and Quickly
Goes to the Bottom.
FIVE LIVES WERE LOST
Al the Time of the Collision There
Were Over a Hundred Pas
scngers on Board the
Canada.

Montreal, Que. June 13.-The Richie
leu & Ontario Co.'S steamer Canada,
bound from Quebec for Montreal, came
into collision with the Dominion Coal
Co.'S collier Cape Breton six miles be-
low Sorel early Sunday. Twenty min
utes later the Canada went to the bot
tom At the time of the collision there
were 10 people on board the Canada
Five we're lost; the others we're res
sued. Those who persisted we're:
Alfred Thibeault, ticket agent OF the
company at Quebec.
Two sons of Alfred Thibeault, aged Ii
and Is.
Pursar Bonneterre, of the Canada.
A man named Brunei, of Sorel, Is
missing, and it is supposed that he per-
shed,
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay
at the entrance Of the Lake st, Pc
ter channel, waiting for daylight, so as
to find her way through. She was
getting under way when the Canada,
making for Sorel at full speed, came
into view. Just what the collision was
due to, and who is responsible for it,
has not yet been determined, for the
officers of the Canada decline to talk.
But, from the statements given out, 1t
would appear that the Cape Breton
had not 60 on enough Roadway to an
swer her rudder, and that she sweryed
across the path of the passenger boat,
her bow striking the Canada just for
ward of the paddle box on the star
BOARD side and tearing its way half
through.
Then the Cape Breton swung clear
and the two steamers came alongside
each other,
sleeping Passengers Aroused.
The shock of the collision aroused
the sleeping passengers. The Canada
at once began to settle, and as the Cape
Breton did not appear to be seriously
damaged, the passengers were hurried
ly transferred to this steamer. In the
excitement some Of the passengers
jumped overheard, and were picked up
by boats from the Canada and the Cape
Breton.
Twenty minutes later, when the Can
ada went alongside the Cape Breton, all
the passengers who could be found had
haan trn,gfnrrnJ n bfInaylt o,I lta
two sons occupied a stateroom near
where the Cape Breton's bow entered
the Canada, and it is supposed hat
they were killed in their berths. The
body Of the father was recovered later
in the day, but the remains of the two
have not been found.
Bonneterre, the purser, was seen af-
ter the collision making his way to his
quarters or the lower deck with the
intention of saving the cash and the
records. 1t is supposed that he per-
ished in the attempt.
Brunei was a second-class passenger,
and no one saw him after the collision,
though it is possible that he went
ashore with the crew of one of the
boats which was sent to secure help
from Sorel.
Assistance arrived about four o'clock
Sunday afternoon in the steam barge
The Prefontaine took the
passengers and the crew to Sorel, and
they were brought up to the city Sun
day afternoon on board the company's
steamer Columbian.
Many of the passengers who occu-
pied staterooms on the upper deck
saved their baggage, but those on the
deck lost all their belongings.
