These reported that several standing beside them at the : time of the collision must also have been thrown into the sea. A deck 1 hand of the ferry boat was killed. The schooner was subsequently found at the dock and badly shattered. The : ferry boat had her guards and a por-i por-i tion of her cabin torn away. |
