 Names of several deckhands ana coal passers have not yet been checked up. Under the thick bank of fog, both big ships were making their way slow ly and with difficulty in the early morning The Monroe, with Captain Johnson on the bridge and double lookout peering into the mists ahead, was edging under half speed to the xaorthward, having left Norfolk for New York last evening. The Nan .tucket, heavily laden with freight and with only two passengers aboard, was nosing her way ssouthward bound from Boston to Norfolk.
 Monroe's Passengers Asleep.
 The crash came about 40 o'clock without warning. Out of the grey black fog that shut out even the waves from view, the gleam of the Nantuelzet's searchlight scarcely touched the dripping side of the Mon roe before the prov of the southward bound vessel ripped into the Monroe's 8 side and threw the stricken ship back, The Nantucket, with her bow crush cd in, backed out Of sight. as Captain
 
 fatally stricken, shouted an order for the lifebDHfs.
 When the crash came those on board sttaB Monroe were safely in bed and asleep. Only Captain Johnson and the watch on deck were up and about But the shivering of the stricken ves- gel and her listing motion, as the wa side awakened the sleeping passeng- CTS and sent them clamberfng toward the deck.
 Sank in Ten Minutes.
 Warned by the officers, they hur- rfedly adjusted life preseryers and made for the deck. But the time was all too brief Those rescued agreed until she settled beneath the waves not more than short ten minutes elapsed.
 Baggage, clothing, yaluables. were all forgotten in the flight from the staterooms. Pajamas, nfshtgowns, bathrobes and blankets were the com mon apparel of those wlA3 reached the , deck before the water trapped them below, and most of them wore that garb when they left the Nantucket at her dock here this afternoon. Able to Launch Only Three lifeboats
 When the excited passengers reach ed the deck they were directed toward the lifeboats by the officers and the crew. Three of the lifeboats from one side of the crippled vessel were un- shipped and got away, freighted with Frightened humanity, mostly women shivering in the wet and cold. By the time these were away the Monroe was rolling over on her side it was i'm possible to launch the other boats.
 As the Monroe lurched over the un- fortunates left osfher shrieked, turned and ran across the superStrncture through poI holes, windows and com panionways until t1sey rested, just out of reach of the waves, on the upper even this slippery security was not long available. With a rllmbling sound the vessel sfivered and plunged be- heath the waves Some Picked Up By y&Nantueksts Boats
