Tapaioz, Upper Works a Ruin,

The Brazilian freighter TapaJoz' d
trim vessel. comparatively new IN ser
vice. came into port yesterday verl-
Ia BILE wreck, and anchored off Stapleton-
She looked much like the wrecked yes
sells Of the Spanish feet after the Amer
ican warships had battered them off
Santiago. in 1898. The TapaJoz had
been in collision in the fog about
thirty-five miles south OF Scotland Light
ship at 7:12 Q. m. on Sunday, with q
three-nlasted schooner, which bounded
off into the thick night after striking
The schooner was not seen again, al
though the Tapajoz steamed about in
the neighborhood Of the encounter for
nine hours.
The collision was not unlike that
which befeu the Standard Oil bark
Eclipse. which came into port last week
after being in collision off Pernambuco
with a steel sailing vessel that did not
give her name.
The .Tapajoz was il command of cap
tain Bent0 Tonnesan- He had brought
her 10 this port from Santos, and she
was bound for PernambuCO for the first
time under his command She had
taken on a big cargo Of gasolene. resin
and paraf1ne and was well down in the
water.
After clearing port on Sunday she got
down safely through the Narrows, and
headed for the south. She had hardly
cleared the Scotland Lightship however.
when a thick fog shut down on her, and
she had to run under mere steerage
way.
She steamed along cautiously until the
fog thinned q trife. when she made an
effort TO get away on her course.
At $40 D. m. she was shrouded again
in a dense fog, and her screw was bare
Iy turning.
Captain Tonnesan went below for a
few minutes, and left the bridge TO the
care Of Francisco SiIvo Barros, his chief
officer.

wher the chief officer saw through the
mist dim green spot off his starboard
bow, and realized that d vessel of some
sort was about TO cross him. Two min
utes later he heard two small blasts,
such rs would come from the donkey en-
gine of a sailing vessel, and he re-
sponded with two sharp blasts, indicat-
ing to the sailing vessel that il was all
right for him 10 go TO port
Captain Tonnesan, who had heard the
signals, rushed up to the bridge. and
found the chief officer had put his helm
hard over, but il vas then TOO late.
Steaming at slow speed, the Tapajoz
did not respond quickly TO her helm,
and she and the schooner came to-
gether with great force.
The big bowsprit Of the sailing vessel
lunged up over the freighter's starboard
bow. and hooked into the forward rig
glng. There was a wrenching Of steel
cables. a cracking of iron deckftting
which the chief officer described as ter
rifving. He compared II with the col
Iapsing of a big building during an
earthquake.
The men and officers of the Tapajoz
had 70 run to the port side to save
themselves from the razing thrust Of
the big bowsprit. which tore aft along
