SHIPS IN COLLISION.
At Early Dawn the Canada Went to
the Bottom Near Montreal.
OF ITO on the Vessel All Were Saved
but Five-Sleeping People Una
ware OF Danger Until the
Collision Came.

Montreal, Que, June 13.-The steam
er Canada. bound from Quebec for
Montreal, came into collision with the
collier Cape Breton six miles below
Sorel early Monday. Twenty minutes
later the Canada went to the bottom.
At the time Of the collision there were
ITO people on board the Canada. Five
were lost; the others were rescued.
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay
at the entrance OF the Lake st. Peter
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 1t, has not yet
been determined. 1t would appear that
the Cape Breton had not got Roadway
on enough to answer her rudder, and
that she swerved across the path Of
the passenger boat, her bow striking
the Canada just forward Of the paddle
box on the starboard side and tearing
Its way half through.
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 we're picked up
by boats from the Canada and the Cape
Breton.

to the fact that there were three in

called upon jury to do its duty.

quittal but for vindication, and so

hesitation, pronounced me not guilty
on all the indictments.
