COLLISION IN CHANNEL
ONE VESSEL BADLY DAMAGED (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, January 11. Early this morning a collision occurred in the Channel near the Goodwin Sands between the German steamship Dione, 1100 tons, and the Swedish steamship Osmed, 1500 tons. Rockets were fired and the Dover tugs Lady Brassey and Lady. Duncannon went to the vessels’ assistance, while the Waimer lifeboat, also, was launched. The Dione was badly holed amidships, and an hour later was grounded in St. Margaret’s Bay, the tugs meanwhile standing by. Efforts to repair the damage and refloat the Dione are being made. The Osmed, with her bows dented, was able to proceed.
