COAST STATIONS
AWAIT MESSAGES
FROM ALLAN Liner
Officials Get Report That In
jury to the Corsican
Is Slight.

MONTREAL, Aug. 13.-wireless sta
tions all along the Canadian coast to-
day were on the lookout for messages
from the Allan liner Corsican, Montreal
to Liverpool, which reported her bows
stove I'm by collision with an iceberg.
Captain Cooks wireless to the Allan
line offices said the damage to the
ships stem was above the waterline,
that there was no danger, and that he
was proceeding on his way. The Cor
sican left Montreal with twenty-five
first class. sixty-two second class and
200 third class passengers.
Despite the reassuring message from
Captain Cook, the Allan officials, re-
membering the long delay in receiving
news of the Titanic disaster and the
conflicting reports flashed from wireless
station to wireless station up and down
the coast, were anxious to hear more
from the Corsican and eagerly awaited
news
The first message from Captain Cook
said that the Corsican had struck a low
lying berg In latitude 52.24 north and
longitude 50. west. The steamer Lake
Champlain was the first to pick UP the
signal OF distress. and replied that she
was hurrying to the rescue.
Almost Immediately came other mes
sages from the Corsican, stating that
the damage was slight. The captain re-
ported that the injury to the vessel was
slight; that the Corsican would proceed
to Liverpool. That the liner was not
seriously damaged was attributed to
the fact that she was under reduced
speed.
The Allan Company today announced
that another wireless message was re-
ceived today from Captain Cook. con-
firming the first announcement that the
Corsican was not seriously damaged,
and giving more details Of the collision
with the iceberg. When the low berg
was sighted. said Captain Cooks mes
sage. the ships engines were reversed,
but not in time, and she touched the
iceberg. Her bow was slightly stove,
all damage being above the water line.
Captain Cook said he was proceeding
slowly toward Liverpool
BOSTON. Aug. 13.-General Manager
Bryce J. Allan, of the Allan line Of
fees here, today stated that although
the Canadian office had heard no fur
ther word from the liner Corsican, which
struck an iceberg off Belle Isle, near
Newfoundland, he felt certain that both
steamship and passengers were safe.
From the reports received OF the
accident" he said, II believe that the
rule Of this line to proceed with ex-
treme caution when in a fog or in the
vicinity OF icefields prevented another
horrible marine tragedy"
