LINER'S STEM PIERCED
COLLISION WITH COLLIER. NO PANIC AMONG PASSENGERS. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) MONTREAL, July 27. With her stem pierced, twisted, and buckled plates on the port bow, a torn port bow, and an anchor missing, the Montrose docked with over 1000 passengers after a collision with the Rose Castle, a large collier, on the St. Lawrence River. The passengers were awakened by the shock, but there was no panic. The Rose Castle was beached.—Australian Press Association. The Montrose has been involved in two previous mishaps. On Easter Monday she ran into an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and on August 7, 1025, she struck the wreck of the Canadian Recruit in the channel of the St. Lawrence River, and was extensively damaged. This latter accident recalls the collision in tho St. Lawrence River on May 29, 1914, near Father Point, as a result of which the Empress of Ireland sank in about 10 minutes with the loss of over 1000 lives.
