The collision occurred about 6 p.

the lake, and when the two steamers
came together the crew of the Good

struck amidships. had only time to
seize life-preservers, and only few

boat began to fill with water. The
cook had just sounded the second
call for breakfast on the Goodyear
when the crash came and many
were in the messroom. All rushed
on deck and then the boat began
to sink. Some jumped into the wat

of the boat, which was fast filling.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in

Goodyear. When the fog arose there
was nothing in sight and, as his boat
was badly damaged and in danger of
sinking also, Captain Gibson decided
to return to this rort.
