The Admin: Dewsy, coming suddenly out of a fog bank, struck the Mount Desert almont amlgshlp, opening a gash In ths fish ing vessel that extended from the up per deck to th« water's edge. There were 450 passengers Including twenty women and six children, on the Mount Desert, and the Admiral Dewey carried 45 passengers. In addition, there were the crews of ths two steam ers. Panic Fellows Collision. Panic Immediately followed the col lision, and It was due to the prompt teflon of Csp.tiiln Davidson of tbs Dewey, that s catastrophe was avert ed for the passengers on the fishing steamer begun piling over the guard rail of that vessel and leaped for the deck of the Admiral Dewey. Had he back' d his steamer away, many would have fallen Into the water. Captain Davidson kept the steamer moving slowly ahead and thla held the prow of tho fruit steamer Into the rent that had been made, and afforded a board ing place for the frightened passen gers of the Mount Desert. Thus the two steamers moved slowly toward the east bank of tho lower bay while a wild scene was taklna place on the decks. It was believed th* Mount Desert would sink find the passengers fought frantically to get to the deck of the Admiral Dewey. A number of persona were sllghtlv In jured In the stampede. Men and wo men crowded over tha guard rails onto the Admiral Dewey so rapidly that they trampled upon each othgr. In the space of fifteen minutes fully StO of the passengers of the Mount Desert sprang to the deck of the Ad miral Dewey. l*y thla time tha Ad miral Dewey had pushed the Mount Desert dose to the east bank. The Admiral Dewey drew more water than had boon transferred ahd the panic had subsided so Captain Davidson sig naled to have the engines stopped, and a few minutes later th# boats drifted apart. Later tho Mount Deaert steam ed to South Brooklyn where she dock* dd to permit the rest or her passon< gtrs go ashore. Meantime the Adm1r< al Dewey had been taken up the river to her pier where her own and the passengers from th# Mount Desert were landed.
