RIVER STEAMERS COLLIDE.
Estelle Randall Scrapes Paint OF
Geodetic Survey Ship Endeavor.

The thick fog which covered this Sec
ton of the country early yesterday morn
ing was responsible for slight collision
between the steamer Estelle Randall Of
the fleet Of the Washington and Potomac
Steamboat Company and the United
States coast and geodetic survey steamer
Endeavor. lying at anchor in the harbor.
The Estelle Randall. under command
of Capt. H. S. Randall, had just turned
around after backing away from her
wharf. foot of Sth street, bound on her
regular trip to Glymont and Grinders.
The fog was so heavy that nothing could
be seen in the harbor. The vessel was
moving under one bell, feeling her way
down the river.
When the lookout on the Estelle Ran
dali made out the Endeavor through the
fog she was within twenty feet of the
steamer, which was promptly stopped
and backed. Her entire Roadway could
not be checked.
She scraped against the side of the
government vessel as she swung past.
Beyond scraping off some paint no dam
age was done either vessel. So thick was
the fog that no one ashore knew any
thing of the vessels having touched until
the steamer Estelle Randall returned to
this city yesterday and a report of the
occurrence was made by her master.
