SHIPS IN COLLISION.
Five Hundred Passengers Luckily Els
cape Watery Grave in New
York Harbor.

New York, Nov. 23.-The lives of
more than 500 persons were imperiled
Sunday when the fruit steamer Admiral
Dewey, inward bound from Jamaica,
crashed into the steamer Mount Desert,
outward bound, from Bay Ridge for the
fishing bands. The Admiral Dewey
coming suddenly out of a fog, struck
the Mount Desert almost amidships,
opening cash in the fishing vessel that
extended from the upper deck to the
water s edge.
There were $50 passengers, including
20 women and some children, on the
Mount Desert, and the Admiral Dewey
carried As passengers. In addition there
were the crews of the two steamers.
There was a panic, and it was due
to the prompt action of Captain David
son of the Admiral Dewey that the
passengers did not rush over the guaro
rails of that vessel and leap for the
deck of the Admiral Dewey.
Had the captain backed his steamer
away many of the passengers would
have fallen into the water. Instead
he kept his vessel moving slowly ahead
and this held the PROV into the rem
that had been made and afforded I
boarding place for the frightened pass
engers from the Mount Desert.
Thus, the two steamers moved slowl.
toward the east bank of the lower bay
while a wild scramble was taking plac
on the decks.
1t was thought the Mount Deser
would sink, and the passengers Tough

from the fact that it marked the re-

THE WISH UTLOOK

Among the Turks the number is so
disliked and feared that it s never
even named: with the Aztecs, the
aborigines of Mexico, it was believed
to have magic power, and like
fancy has been found in other Indian
tribes.
Among the ignorant blacks of the
South the fear of this number in any
connection is actually absurd but
whether they have borrowed this
idea from their imperfect knowledge
of Christianity, or whether it is Il
survival of the voodoo worship of
their ancestors, it is impossible to
say, for the superstition has strong
hold everywhere, even among those
who should know better than to be
swayed by it. In Italy it is never
used in making up the numbers of
the favorite lotteries. and in Paris
it is omitted in numbering the houses
on the streets.
