Chefoo, China, Dec. 1.-Two Japan.
ese steamships collided of this port
Monday afternoon. Details of the ac-
cident were lacking, but it was re-
ported that a total of 200 persons had
been drowned.
According to the best information
available, the vessels were passenger
boats and heavily loaded with Euro
peans and Americans.
The crash suddenly came in a dense
fog. The lookouts were unable to
see more than few yards ahead, and
could not give the alarm in time for
the passengers and crew to take to
the lifeboats.
The ships crashed with mighty i'm
pact within two minutes after warning
cries had been sent down to those
below. a
Frantic Rush for Safety. ss
Instantly there was a frantic rush
for safety. Not stopping to lower the
boats. scores leaped into the sea. Most
of these were drowned. ~
The vessels sank soon after the col
lision, taking down with them the pas
sengers and crew who were asleep at
the time Of the accident. ... g. ,.s.
The catastrophe was appalling, the
news agency says, and was so com
pete that for a time not even the
names of the Inflated ships could be
learned The Japanese government
went to work on the case, and expect
ed soon to have the boats identified.
Story of Eyewitness.
A fisherman who braved the dan
gers Of the fog and piled his occupa-
ton during the adverse conditions re-
ported that he heard the crash and
happened on the terrible scene as he
was making for shore. His descrip-
ton Of the plight of the people who
sought to escape from the vessels,
both of which were passenger steam
ers, was melodramatic.
