BIG STEAMERS IN
A RACE FOR LIFE
OCEAN LINERS COLLIDE OUTSIDE
OF HALIFAX.
A NARROW ESCAPE FOR ALL
Passengers Numbering 1900 in Wild
Panic--An Land Safely, But
One Vessel Sinks at
the Wharf.

Halifax, N. S., March 27.-Racing
through the dusk Saturday evening two
big ocean liners which had collided just
outside the harbor toiled in desperation
for their docks, while 1880 imperiled
passengers shrieked in panic. The race
was successful, but one of the ocean
greyhounds sank at its wharf before the
last passenger had hurried down the
gang plank. The liners were the Par
isian Of the Allan line and the Albano,
Hamburg-Americanb boat. The former
carried 1000 persons besides the crew,
while the Albano's passenger list num-
bered 800. Both vessels were seriously
damaged by the accident.
The Crash.
The Partisan arrived just at dusk and
was lying outside the harbor mouth
awaiting pilot, when the Albano was
seen coming in from sea. In the gath
ering darkness the captain of the Par
isian saw collision was imminent
Full speed ahead!" he shouted into the
engine room speaking tube. Before the
big vessel could gain headway, how
ever, the Albano rammed her. The sharp
Prov crashed through the great steel
plates abaft the engine room and through
the jagged hole the water began to pour
in tons. Instantly the pumps were or
dered into use. The powerful engines
were turned to full speed, and the Par
isian began a grim race for her dock and
safety. The siren whistles of both ves-
sells sounded shrill cries of distress, and
fleet of tugs responded. The Albano,
when it backed away, was found to have
suffered injury to its own plates. Its
stem was twisted and big rent showed
just at the water line. The water-tight
compartments were closed promptly
and the pumps put to work. Then the
vessel followed in the Parisian's wake.
Passengers in Panic.
On board both vessels were scenes of
indescribable confusion. Women faint
ed or fell to their knees in prayer; men,
frantic with the fear that the sinking
vessels never would reach their docks,
shouted hoarse appeals to the little fleet
Of tugs that hung tenaciously alongside
to take them off, while others, seemingly
stupefed by the situation, huddled in
groups like frightened sheep. The most
intense excitement was on board the
Partisan. The vessel was trembling
from stem to stern with the throbbing
OF all its engines, but the water poured
in faster than it could be pumped away.
Little by little the vessel sank by the
stern. Half way up the harbor, how
ever, It was feared the race was lost. The
Partisan had settled many feet at the
stern, and was listed at a dangerous an
gle to starboard.
The Partisan made no effort to effect
seamanship landing at her dock. With
crash she flung her great bulk against
the wharf, lines were made fast and
gangplanks tossed out. Before the last
passenger rushed ashore the vessel sank
and her stern now rests on the bottom.
The Albano reached her wharf safely
after a desperate race. The cause for
the accident is not yet known, but an in
vestigation will be undertaken.
