New York. oct. 2o.-In the thick mist
which hung over the upper bay to-day
the giant Atlantic Transport Line steam
ship Minnehaha. loaded with passengers
and live stock for London. crashed into

The fog prevented seeing the two sea

The doctors boats and the revenue-cut-

Panic on Both Vessels.
As soon as the first small boat return

nounced that no one had been injured,
but the officers had difficulty in quell-
ing the panic which reigned on both
vessels.
When the Etruria reached quarantine
ordered the anchors dropped. The an
chors were just sinking into the mud
when suddenly, out of the mist and fog,
doomed up the towering bow OF the high
setting Minnehaha.
Suddenly there was a clanging~Of bells

In a second the reversing engines of
the Minnehaha had commenced to back
up ahe great ship. and she slowly disap-
peared in the mist.
But on the deck of the Etruria the ex-
citemeyt was intense. Officers tried To
assure the passengers there was no dam
ger. but the passengers saw the hole.
Small boats lowered by the Etruria and
the Minnehaha showed the hole did not
reach to the waterline. and that infOrma-
ton treasured the passengers.
After an investigation Capt Robinson
found that the bow plates of the Mime
haha were bent. but not badly enough to
prevent him from going TO sea. and when
the-fog lifted at 1899 he weighed anchor
and started across the Atlantic.
After a careful investigation it was de-
cided that the Etruria WAS not injured
80 badly as to prevent her voyage. and
she. too, kept on her way.
