ACCIDENT ON THE HIGH SEAS. 1 Steamship and Schooner Lost by Collision. New York, January 27: ?In acollision near the Fcnw'ck Shoa;< lightship early today the Amer'eanHawaiian Line freight steamship! Washinjrtonian was sunk and the; American schooner Elizabeth Palmer, which rammed her, was abandoned with decks awash. One life was lest, that of a water tender. The other fifty-three persons comprising the officers and crews of the two vessels were land- i ed in New York tonijrht by the Old i Dominion Line steamer Hamilton, from Norfolk, which picked them up near the scene of the accident, twenty miles southwest of the Dela ware Breakwater. The Washingtonian sank within ten minutes after the schooner struck her. All hands on hoth craft had been ordered to the boats. II Meyer, a water tender on the Washingtonian, was missing when the men were mustered for roll-call on the rescuing ship. His mates believe he went below for his effects and was caught by the inrushing water. According to Capt George A Car-" lisle, who commanded the schooner, the accident happened about 3:30 a. m. The schooner, under full sail, was headed southwest by south and making about eight knots when the Washingtonian was sighted. "It was evident the steamer was moving in a direction that would have taken her across our bows and that our lights were seen too late to avoid us," said Capt Carlisle. "We struck the Washingtonian head-on, making a hole in her almost amidships, the impact smashing in the bow of the schooner. "We immediately broke away and went ahead about a mile before our course was checked. We saw the Washingtonian go down after remaining afloat for about ten minutes. While there was a somewhat heavy sea running, the wind was light and only a light haze was in the air. Thirteen men and one woman, the wife of the steward, were aboard. We took to the life boats as soon as our decks were awash and were picked up two hours later by the Hamilton,which had responded to the wireless calls for assistance sent out by the Washingtonian." Superintendent J G Tomliflson, of the American-Hawaiian Line, after talking with Capt E D Broadhead.of the Washingtonian, said he had not obtained a detailed statement of the accident, but that he had been told there was a haze and confirmed Capt Carlisle's report that the Washingtonian had been struck amidships on starboard side. Boats were launched and the mem put out for the lightship, about one and one-half miles distant, but were picked up by the Hamilton. The Washingtonian carried forty men. She left Honolulu bound for Delaware Breakwater on December 20 with a sugar cargo, passing through the Panama Canal January 18. The value of the ship and cargo, the superintendent placed at $1,500,000. Capt Carlisle valued the Elizabeth Palmer at $125,000. He was in command for this trip, only, relieving Capt Wallace, who is -sick. When the S O S call was sounded by the Washingtonian, the Hamilton was only a short distance away.
