VESSEL IN TWO COLLISIONS.
British Ship Narrowly Escapes
sinking I'm Norfolk Harbor.

Norfolk, Va. Dec. H--The British
steamship Albiana, Capt. Trinnick, with
cattle for Liverpool was in double col
lision Sunday afternoon. from which the
vessel narrowly escaped sinking, just as
she was leaving Lamberts Point coal piers
here.
The Albiana. assisted by the tug Louis
VILE was backing cut from the piers after
taking on bunker coal, and the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad tug
Crsheld was off Lamberts Point shifting
from one side TO the other Of a railroad
transfer barge she had in tow.
The barge first struck the Albiana on
the port quarter. bUckling fourteen feet of
the steamship plates. The steel tug then
/ came on, cutting a seven-foot cash in the
Albiana.
The impact Of the tug caused the beef
on the hOof on the Albiana's deck TO reel
/ to starboard, and the ship took a star
| board list, and thereby the hole in her
/ side was kept above the water line until
she could be towed into dry dock at New
port News
I A great loss would have been caused
should She have sunk, as, aside from the
cargo loaded at Newport News. she had
taken on here $4,000 worth Of freight,
mainly such as water would have ruined.
