STEAMER NLSEco IN
 NEAR HEADON COLLISION

Motor ship Nlseco II, which oper- ates between Norwich and Ocean beach came within a hairs breath of being run down in a head-oI collision tauk Steamboat Go. in Plum Gut. on Wednesday evening The near col- lision occurred in dense fog while the Nlseco was returning to New Lon don from Shelter Island and Sag Har- Dor and the Wyandotte was going to Long Island.
 The Nlseco was running slowly in the dense fog in Plum Gut about 6 o'clock, blowing it's whistle, when sud- denly a. black shape loomed up a few feet ahead. Capt. Edward Quarrie of the NlSeco gave the signal to re- verse the engines and the action was just in time to see . the approaching andotte pass within less than two feet of the Nlseco.
 It is evident that the. captain of the Wyandcttes saw the N1seco when it was only short distance away as excursionists on the latter stated to- day that the acapain of the Wyan-. dotte turned the wheel of the vessel camp stools were thrown to the deck.
 The people on the N1seco were somewhat unnerved by the narrow escape. but it happened with such suddenness and was over so quickly that there was nothing resembling a panic on board and within few sec orids they were calm again. However, it was an experience many do not care to pass through again.
 Several of the excursionists on the Nlseco declare that none of them heard the Wyandotte blow it's whistle in answer to the NIseco and that the vessel was going at full speed.
