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
