William F. st. Sure. assistant 70

According to the best accounts
we have of the accident, twenty per-

The all-steel boat, almost a city
block in length, equipped with all the
modern safety appliances and capa-
BILE of carrying 1000 persons, was

load of Easy Bay commuters during
the rush hour last night when the
accident occurred. Homeward bound
after q days work, a large number
of the passengers had gathered in
the forward section, anxious to be
the first ashore and aboard interur-
ban trains waiting at the Oakland
mole.
The Peralta passed Goat Island.
about the halfway point across the
bay, at normal speed. About half
way between Goat Island and her
destination, the boat lurched and
many of those on the lower forward
deck were swept over the side be-
fore anyone knew what was wrong.
Water surged over the deck. Panic
. ensued. Women screamed and pray
ed while men scrambled for life pre-
servers. Those in the water cried
for help. For an instant it appeared
to the passengers that the big ferry
was going down. Then in an instant
she righted herself. and stopped.
Lifeboats were launched from the
Peralta and from the ferry Hayward,
which was a short distance away.
Several persons were fished out Of
the water, but whether all were
saved was not known.
The waves were strewn with coats,
hats, wreckage from the cabins ami
life preservers which had been
thrown TO those overheard. In the
rapidly gathering twilight it was
difficult to tell whether more per-
sons remained in the water.
