< VOL. 9, NO. 36, SEMI-WE: MADE EFFORT TO ~~ AVOID COLSLIION of St) Captain Herry of the Nantucket lnt ~ Hi r ties Keport of Disaster. gri Ju MONROE WAS GOING FAST. ne He WS Says His Own Engines Were Hun- jv|t ning Full Sjieed Astern?Impos- qc sible to Escape. Y. Baltimore, Feb. 1.?The steamer fr< Nantucket, which was In collision Mi with the steamer Monroe Friday 118 morning, docked here today. In a th' written report to officials of tho Merchants and Mines Transporation an Company, Captain Berry said that in &n an endeavor to avoid a collision with ^ the Monroe, the Nantucket's helm was put hard aport to keep to the right, but tho Monroe proceeded at full fo> Bpeed and tried to cross the bow of tho Nantucket. She succeeded in get- fri ting partly past the Nantucket's stem ly when the vessel collided, the Nantucket's stem striking the Monroe's ~ starboard bow forward of the pilot- " house at right angles. Captain Berry said that while the Nantucket was on her usual course fog signals of a vessel, afterward found to be the Monroe, were reported ahead. The fog was lowlylng and at times clearer than other. Tho fog signals of the Nantucket were sound ing at regular intervals. The rog slg- en nal of the Monroe again was heard ca and this time on the Nantucket's port bow. The next whistles heard from w< the Monroe were two blasts which in- at dicated that the Monroe was trying to gu pass the Nantucket starboard to starboard, countrary to the rule. The Monroe passed under such great speed, according to Captain w< Berry's report, that the stem of the Nantucket was bent sharply toward (jp her starboard side and the Nantucket wJ slewed around so that her port side was scraped by the Monroe, crushing one of the Nantucket port boats. The Monroe passed on out of eight . At the time of the collision the Nantucket's engines were running at full P' speed astern and had been running so ir for some time previous to the col- ? lision. Captain Berry's report continues as . follows: J* "The Nantucket appeared seriously . injured but was maneuvered to aid in the work of rescue, continually using m her searchlight. Wireless communi- so cation was established and several ves op selB offered assistance the first to ar- ro rive being the Hamilton, which con- sa voyed the Nantucket to Norfolk. "The relief squad attending tho jjG passengers was increased by those who could be spared from attention co to the safety of the Nantucket, and under careful attention those suffer- ed ing more from the collision were removed, with the exception of one ^ man, who, after great effort, could not be revived, and also a Mrs. Harrington, who died after she had been assigned to a stateroom with her husband and all possible care and atten- PI tlon given her. "It can be established that the steward, steawardess and chief engineer worked incessantly in an effort to aid and revive Mrs. Harrington. There was no attack made by Mr. Harring- (o ton on any one and there is no foun- co datlon for this report. After her ^ death her body was carried to Nor- 8t, folk and wireless instructions were pc given In advance to take care of it. ^ "Many passengers of the Monroe, 8a received on board the Nantucket, Dr would have died had they not been resusciated by the vigorous, prompt rp and successful work of those assigned p, to that duty. The reported statement p, indicating that one of the Nantucket's W( boats had a plug out and was not _ equipped with life preservers, is proven untura by the fact that the Nan- cl tucket's boats returned with all the people they could find." ftr 0< Norfolk, Va., Feb 1.?There reven- ar ue cutter Onodaga at 9 o'clock this to morning located the Old Dominion ru steamer Monroe which was sunk in lo collision with the Merchants and Mi- Al ners steamer Nantucket Frday morning. The steamer lies sunk 24 miles osuthwest, one quarter south of Win- cl ter Quarter ightshlp almost in the or exact spot wnere me collision occurred. Fifteen feet of her mast la th visible above the water. A red light m was placed on the mast tonight to A< warn passing vessels of danger. The wrecking tug I. J. Merritt is A< standing by the spot where the ship cc went down. She has two divers on board who will make an effort to go down to the sunken steamer tomorrow. wheather permitting. fu E. E. Palon, assistant general manager of the Old Domnon Steamship Company, said today that every effort would be made to recover the bodies nl believed to be on the steamer. He S1 said the vessel would probably be Cm blown up. M n< Takes Place of Cullom. ^ Washington, Feb. 3.?Former Sen- T] ator J. C.
