COLLISION
AT SEA
Baltic Strikes the Standard
on Account of Dense
Fog in Mid Ocean.
Passengers Given
a Big Scare.
BY United Press Wire.

New York, July 4.-When the
White Star liner Baltic reached the
quarantine today her pumps were
going and her collision bulkheads
were closed. They had been that
way for three days following a smash
In mld-ocean between the big liner
and the oil tank steamer Standard,
enroute from Philadelphia to Cop
enhagen. One man, n seaman eof
the Baltic's crew was lost overheard.
1t is supposed that he was knocked
from the deck by the impact and
sank Immediately.
The collision was due TO the dense
fog that prevailed on Thursday night
when the Baltic was 1900 miles east
of Ambrose channel light. She was
bowling along at good rate OF speed
when the lookout discorned the bulk
of another steamer almost straight
ahead. The alarm was given and
Captain Ransom, who was on the
bridge, signeled the big engines re-
yersed, while the wheel was thrown
all of the way over in endeavoring to
pass astern of the other ship. rms
could not be done on time, and the
Baltic struck the big tanker glanc-
ing blow which shook the big star
| liner from stern to stern.
A hole was torn in the Battles
bow and the passengers rushed from
their state rooms and berths In
state of frantic terror. The minor
! officials and stewads soon restored
confidence to the frightened men anc
women and they were ordered bacl
to their places while an investigation
was made to discover how bad the
Baltic was injured II was founo
that she was taking some watel
through the hole in her bow but no
enough to endanger her so the pump
were set going. A big canvess wal
soon stretched over the bow and th'
hole temporarily patched up an'
