rible force into the port side OF the
Perseus, smashing the paddle wheel
and box and tearing away much of

The impact was so great that the
vessels remained fast together. No
effort was made by the Patten TO
break away, however, for It was felt
that safety from sinking lay in the
vessels remaining interocked.
When the 'Patten doomed suddenly
out of the fog bank and it was seen
that collision was unavoidable, the
