RUNNING AMOK
CURIOUS MARITIME ACCIDENT, By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. New York, April 20. , A remarkable shipping disaster occurred at Seattle. The steamer Alameda ploughed through Coleman Dock, the finest structure on the Pacific coast, carrying off a hundred feet bodily across her deck. The Alameda then hit a small steamer lying on the other side of the wharf, Binking it instantly. The captain's orders to the engineroom were misunderstood when the vessel was being docked, the result being that the vessel went full steam ahead. The captain tied down the whistle, and the crowd of people on the dock-end ran for their lives, but several were injured. The crew of the small vessel were flung into the water, but were rescued.
