An accident, the loss of life in which, however, is not yet determined, occurred here to-day when the coastal steamer Lexington, carrying 120 passengers, many of them Brown University (Providence) and Harvard students returning from holidays, was rammed by the freighter Jan Christenson in East River directly off the city’s shores and sank almost immediately. While it is believed that most of the passengers were rescued, it is feared that some may have been drowned. A later message states that five members of the crew are missing and a score of persons were injured. The passengers and most of the crew of 52 were taken off by other vessels.
