COLLISION AT SEA.

With a six-foot hole in her side the
White Star liner Baltic locked in New
York yesterday while her passengers
hurried ashore and congratulated them
selves on their escape from what might
have been fearful midsea disaster.

from Philadelphia to Copenhagen.

were made and patch was placed over
the hole in the Battles bow and she
steamed away on her course for New

after the accident.
