STEAMER STRUCK
SUBMERGED WRECK
SUNK AT DOCK AFTER THRILLING
RUN.
Engineer Stuck to His Post With Wa.
ter Waist Deep--Passeneers
Terror Stricken.

Providence, r. l., Aug. 15.--The new
Block Island steamer, the Shoreham,
struck submerged wreck during a
fog in the Block Island harbor today,
and after a thrilling run of a mile and
half sunk at her dock just as the
last passenger got ashore.
With 125 passengers in terrcr, En-
gineer Quinland stuck to his post, with
the water slowly filling the engine
room. He was standing waist deep ir
water when the dock was reached.
The last passenger had scarcely
stepped from the plank when the
steamer careened and sunk, Quinlan
being forced to climb a ladder to save
himself from drowning The passen-
gers were. paniCstricken. Members Of
the crew endeavored to assure them
that their only chance of safety was
in keeping quiet. Capt. Dodd in the
meantime had turned the boat toward
New Harbor, giving the signal to put
on all steam.
Members of the crew we're sent
throughout the decks to quiet the
panicstricken passengers, and the boat
was started for the shore, a mile and
half away.
Five mcn who were down in the hold
with the water rising up to their arm
pits obeyed the captains signals and
remained at their post regardless of
the dangers that existed.
