LINER NIAGARA
LESS DAMAGE THAN FEARED SAILING DELAYED FOR WEEK (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) VICTORIA, July 18.
Showing loss damage than was feared, the Niagara tied up at the pier with 40ft of railing of the port bow of 0 deck and 10ft of the superstructure of B deck shorn away, and three plates buckled above the water line.
Mr Lyons said the passengers took the collision philosophically after the first bit of excitement.
No one was injured. The crash occurred at 8.10 p.m., as many passengers were sitting down to motion pictures.
The pictures were resumed an hour' later and a dance took place while the liner made back to port through the fog. It is believed that the sailing will be delayed for a week. PASSENGERS* INTENTIONS VICTORIA, July 18. (Received July 19, at 10 p.m.) Twenty of the Niagara’s passengers have signified their intention of returning to Australia via San Francisco.
