FOG IN ENGLAND
SHIPPING DISORGANISED TWO VESSELS COLLIDE (British • Official Wireless.) (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, February 23. (Received Feb. 25, at 5.5 p.m.) Shipping was disorganised owing to fog on Southampton Water and the Thames Estuary. * The Danish steamer Maja, of 2203 tons, and the London steamer Camberwell, of 1577 tons, were in collision off the Essex coast and the Clacton lifeboat put out to the scene of the accident, but returned after lifeboat men had boarded both vessels and satisfied themselves that though both were damaged no lives were in danger. The fog delayed the departure from Southampton by 12 hours of the liner President Roosevelt, bound tb New York with passengers and nearly £2,000,000 worth of gold. The Hamburg America liner New York was delayed on her journey from Hamburg to Southampton and it was decided that she should take on passengers and nearly £2,000,000 worth of gold for New York in Cowes roads.
