FIVE HUNDRED THROWN INTO PANIC WHEN STEAMERS
 COLLIDE.
CATASTROPHE IS INVERTED
Captain of Uninjured Vessel Pushes Wreck Into Shallow Water, and Takes Frightened Passen-
 cers Off.

New York, Nov. 23.-The lives of five hundred persons were imperiled Sunday when the fruit steamer Admiral Dewey, inward bound from Jamaica, crashed into the Mount Desert, outward bound from Bay Ridge for the fishing banks. The Admiral Dewey coming suddenly out of a fog bank struck the Mount Desert almost amidships, opening a gash in the fishing vessel that extended from hte upper deck to the waters edge.
 There were 450 passengers, in- cluding twenty women and six child ren on the Mount Desert and the Admiral Dewey carried forty-five pas sengers. In addition there were the crews of the two steamers
 Panic immediately followed the collision and ii was due to the prompt action of Capt Davidson, of the Dewey that catastrophe was avert ed. for the passengers on the fishing rails of that vessel and leaped for the deck of the Admiral Dewey. Had he backed his steamer away, many would have fallen into the water. In stead. he kept the vessel moving slowly ahead and this held the prov into the rent that had been made and afforded a boarding place for the frightened passengers of the Mount DaSprt
