Show Big Steamers Collide at Seattle. The Oriental liner Kaga Maru and the German steamship Elba collided off Five Mile Point, Seattle, in a dense fog. The Elba tore a hole in the Kaga Maru's hull seven feet in width, but above the water line. The injured vessel succeeded in reaching port in safety. Both vessels had lookouts stationed, sta-tioned, but owing to the fog neither could see the approaching steamer until they were too close together to avert a collision. The Kaga Maru narrowly nar-rowly escaped being sent to the bottom with her passengers and cargo. |
