DESCRIBES CRASH AS '
 TANKER HIT STEAMER
Chief Officer of Boston Praises Crew and Pas-
 sengers for Goodness

Newport, July 22.---The meeting in the fog off Point Judith early today of the Boston and the Swiftarrow was described by Chief Officer A. c. Morton of the Boston. With Cap tain Alfred w. Call, skipper of the Boston, and a quartermaster, uniden- tified, they constituted the group on the bridge of the Boston when the crash came.
 The calm of passengers women and men, in the exciting moments of the early morning; the manner In which the watertight compartments functioned to keep the Boston above water and the success with which the transfer of the hundreds of passen- gers to other vessels was accom- plished with loss of life only in the collision itself were emphasized In his story.
 We had a little fog all the way from Boston," Chief Officer Morton said. We had horns blowing every thirty seconds. Then a thicker fog set in, and we barely avoided strik- ing a schooner, by coming to a full stop. We had started ahead again, going slowly. when we heard whistles from another boat apparently quite near.
 Captain Call, who was on the bridge, ordered the quartermaster at the wheel to stop the engine. Then we hear two wistles. meaning that the other fellow was going to pass us to port. So we went full speed astern to get out of the way, blowing three blasts as we backed up.
 Apparently the tanker that was coming on did the same, but it was too late.
 "The watertight compartments were immediately closed and but for them I believe the boat would have sunk almost immediately. As it was she listed bit then settled few feet. The tanker struck us just for ward of the engine room, in the fre- room section. and the water soon poured into the boilers, putting the lights out.
 "Discipline of crew and passengers was as nearly perfect as could be ex- pected under the circumstances"
 Chief Officer Morton said he thought the bodies that were in the wreckage represented the occupants of staterooms 41, 42 and ss.
