Passengers on the boat bound from
Portland to South Harpswell on the
morning Of August 2 just escaped an
accident when the steamer Merricon.
eag of the c. B. H. line and the Auc-
cocisco of the same line nearly collid.
ed In Hussey's Sound just off Long
Island. The Melriconeag had Just
left Evergreen landing and was pro-
ceeding full speed at first. Then
when the Aucocisco's whistle became
audible the engines were slowed down
and then stopped entirely. The mo-
ment the Aucocisco was seen through
the dense fog which was prevailing,
the Merriconeag's engines were order
ed reversed by Captain James Long,
and the Aucocisco swept by, clearing
the other boat by less than foot The
near-collision was not the fault of
either the captain of the Merriconeag
or OF the Aucocisco, as has been intim-
ated In some of the reports. The fog
was so dense that when the boats
| could discern each other they had
hardly time to blow the customary
| whistles, and only the good Judgment
| of the two captains averted the acci-
! dent. Both captains are to be highly
commended on their excellent hand
ling of the boats. The Aucocisco was
in command of Captain Clifford S.
Hamilton.
