less via SiasconSet, Mass, June "a
While the American liner New York,
westbound, was motionless in a heavy
fog 400 miles east of Ambrose light
ship early to-day, the Hamburg Amer
lean liner Pretoria, bound east, ran
into her and ripped a hole IL feet high
and 80 feet long in her port side.
The hole is flush with the main
deck and is fifteen feet above the
water line. SO great was the force OF
the collision that the Pretoria's anchor
was torn from her bow and left hang
ing inside the gap that had been torn
in the New York. Practically all or
the passengers on both ships were
asleep.
immediately after the collision the
engines of both ships were ordered
full speed astern and passengers came
hurrying to the decks. The passengers
of the New York were able to reach
over and touch the bow of the Pre-
toria as she pulled away from her dan
gerous position. There was no panic
Captain Roberts and Chief Officer
Turner were both on the bridge at the
time of the collision. They assured
the frightened passengers, many OF
whom hurried to the starboard side
| of the ship, anticipating a list to port,
| that there was no danger. Members
sengers and urged them to be calm.
Bulkheads Closed
Upon the orders of Captain Roberts
the bulkheads of the New York were
closed at 1852 o'clock this morning
! because of the density of the fog. This
was about ten minutes before the coll
lision. During this period the Pre-
| toria replied constantly to fog sirens
blown by the New York.
| Captain Roberts blew two long
blasts repeated for five minutes prior
| to the collision. These whistles indi-
Gated that the New York had stopped.
| Suddenly there was a crash succeeded
| by sharp tearing sound as the steel
plates and woodwork of the New York
| were shattered by the Pretoria's s sharp
bow.
Little Damage Done
Fortunately the watch which occu-
pied the quarters behind that part of
the ship which was crushed in was on
duty in the stokehold. Had the collis-
ion occurred while this watch was off
duty q number of lives would probably
have been lost. The Pretoria was less
damaged by the collision than the New
York Several of the plates at her
bow were sprung and twisted.
After the passengers had been as
sured that they were in no danger
they began to laugh and joke over the
queer costumes in which some of the
travellers appeared on deck. The pas
sengers refused to return to their
cabins until daylight. After it was
determined that no serious damage
had been done to either of the ships
they proceeded on their way.
