SCHOONERS COLLIDE;
 ELEVEN ARE, MISSING
Crew of Small Boat Attempting
 Rescue, Lost

St. John, N. B., Feb. 1.-Eight members of the crew of the British schooner Maid of Scotland are miss- ing following the sinking of the craft in a collision today with the Peruvian steamer Perena, near Partridge Is- land. It is feared that several men from the Pereny may have been lost.
 The chief officer and three men of the Perena were lost, it was reported, while trying to pick up in small boat the crew of the Maid of Scot land.
 Both vessels were bound from New York to St. John. The Perena left January 24 and the Maid of Scotland a day later.
 Edward Todd and Nathaniel Mis- sick, the only known survivors of the Maid of Scotlaud's crew, said the ves- sel was abreast of the fairway buoy, three miles off Partridge Island, and the crew had been mustered on deck preparatory to casting anchor when the Perena bore down on them and crashed into the schooner amidships.
 The craft sank within a few min utes. Todd and Missck clutched the Perena's rigging and clambered aboard safely, but other members of the crew were too slow and remained on the schooner. As the Perena backed away they were heard fran tically calling for help.
 It was dark when the collision oc- cured, but the weather was clear and the sea comparatively calm with fair breeze blowing. A small boat was quickly launched by the Perena and a few moments later had disappeared in the darkness. When daylight came the small boat had not returned, and although the steamer cruised in the neighborhood for hours, no trace of IL could be seen. Officers of the Perena said that because of the clear night those in the boat should have had little difficulty returning unless prevented by some accident.
