dense fog Off Barnegat. on the Jersey
coast, by the tank steamer SUFFOLK. A

her way back to port under her own
steam with III passengers aboard with
out assistance. The Suffolk also. though
slightly damaged about the bow. came
into Quarantine early In the evening and
reported herself in no danger.
The Rrazos. which IL the larges, ves-
sci in the Porto Rican service. was going
slowly through the fog, blowing her
whistle every few seconds. when the
accident occurred. The tanker could not
be seen in the heavy vapyr. and the
first thing hat crew or passengers knew
was when her blunt bow doomed out

the starboard side about three-fourths
Of the way back. Then. ~ quickly az she

the quick reversal of her engines and
