THE SINKING OF A COLLIER. Describing the collision in Sydney harbor between the A.U.S.N. Co.'s big passenger liner Wyreema and the steam

collier Currajong, a Sydney paper says: 'When it became apparent that a collision was inevitable excitement ran high among the passengers on the Wjreema Vflo 'were on deck, and the women and children screamed with fear. Th« Wyreema, which is ten times the size of the Currajong, struct the collier a terrific blow right amidships on the port side, with the. result that an enormous hole was made in her side. At the moment of the impact it was thought the stem of tlie big liner would completely cut the Currajong in halves, and the gravest fears were felt for the safety of the crew. Within a very short space of time —variously estimated at from •two to four minutes—the Currajong was full of water, and commenced to settle down bv the head. Eventually she took a terrific plunge and sank bow first into deep water. AW hands on the Currajon? were thrown into the harbor, and there were loud cries for help. The life-' boats on the Wvreema were quieklv manued and launched, and nroeeeded to tie assistance of the men in the water. The nisrht was somewhat dark, and i f was difficult to locate the distressed seamen. but the lifeboat crews worked well, and within an inercliblv sh"rt snare of Mme succeeded in rescuing fhr> whole of the crew n f the Currajong with the exception of one mnn.
