FEAR FOR LIVES
IN SHIPS CRASH
Vessels Collide at Night, and
Passengers Are Thrown Into
Sea During Rescue.

BOSTON, July 30-The steamship
City of Rockland, on her way to Bos-
ton from Bath, Maine, with $50 passen-
gers, was struck and seriously dam
aged early today by the collier William
Chisholm in a head-on collision during
dense fog off Tatchers Island 1t Is
the confusion of the rescue work.
Passengers of the City of Rockland,
amid great excitement and danger, were
put into the steamers lifeboats and
were finally transferred to the steamer
City of Belfast on her way to Boston
from Rockland.
According to passengers, three or
four of the lifeboats of the City of
many as IS passengers into the sea
All of them were saved from drowning.
1t was claimed by the ships officers.
Several were hurt
The collision happened about 1910
o'clock this morning and all the pas
sengers were in their berths at the
time. The noise of the collision awak-
ened them and sent them scurrying to
the deck. most of them scantily clad.
In Water Half Hour
The City of Belfast with her own
and the passengers of the Rockland on
board arrived at the Eastern Steamship
Company's dock here at $40 o'clock
this morning. Theodore Weddelton, of
Everett, said the first boat launched
had sunk, and that the captains gig
was also capsized He said he was in
the water half an hour before he was
rescued by the crew on the coal barge
being towed by the Chisholm
The sinking of the lifeboats was de-
clared by passengers to have been due
to bad seamanship. One lifeboat filled
with passengers sank because plug in
the bottom was gone. One passenger
declared the men passengers and the
crew did their work like heroes
AS soon as the passengers had run
to the decks the order of women and
children first was given. This was
strictly obeyed so that the first to get
into the lifeboats were the women and
children.

yesterday he introduced a resolution
looking to the removal from the basement

Uttered up the place just about as long

BY and by he hopes to get new dome
to replace the old tin thing that now
