ecived adviees from naval authorities
that she was sinking at sea. The loca
tion of the ship was not given.
The naval authorities did not state
the cause of the Texans distress, bu,
reports reaching shipping circles here
from other sources were that the vesse1
had been rammed amidships in collision
with another ship.
1t was said steamer which had pick
led up the Texans S. O. S. calls was
hurrying to her assistance, and tina,
the crew of forty-three had taken to
the boats
The Texan left here recently with a
cargo of nitrates bound for a French
port. agents of the vessel stated
Messages reaching here from another
port said that steamer arriving there

In the absence of definite word re-
garding the accident shipping men ex-
pressed the opinion that the Texan
may have encountered an iceberg.
A government radio station picked up
a message later from the steamer Will
liamette. sent to an unidentified ship
saying:
Will You escort me back to 50:
Answer Not Intelligiole,
The answer was not Ineligible
Naval authorities who got the message
said they were unable to determine
whether the Willamette had been in
collision with the Texan or had been
damaged by the Same agency that sent
the Texan to the bottom.
Fragmentary wireless messages sug-
gest that the damaged steamers be-
longed to fleet passing north.
The Texan is commanded by Can't.

by the government from the American
Hawaiian line, for which she was built
in 1902. She measures S.61J gross ton
mage. 1900 tons dead weight.

Navy Department said the Texan had
been in collision with another ship
which has gone to the rescue Of the
Texans crew. AS far as is known. no

pected at the Navy Department
