MAKING WATER FAST WHEN HEADED FOR SHORE Cargo Holds Badly Flooded Cruis er Also Badly Damaged In The Collision. LONDON, Sept. 20. Upon leaving Southampton today for Now York with every berth filled, tho White Star liner Olympic, tha largest steamship aflaot, was rammed by the British cruiser Hawko and only quick beach ing of the liner prevented what might have been one of the worst manuo disasters in history. The Olympic was later removed to drydock at Southampton nnd tho Hawkc, which was also badly dam aged, was placed in a drydock at Portsmouth. Among the passengers on the Olym pic -were many prominent persons, including William "Waldorf Astor,. George P. Baker, President W. C. Brown of tho New York Central rail road, Charles P. Bryan of Chicago, who is transferring as United Stntes minister to Belgium to be minister to Japan; Richard Croker, Jr., Fred erick P. Duryctt, George P. Idc, Clar ence n. Mackny, Felix Warburton, Harry Payne Whitney, Harry Widen cr and Frank Munsey. The Olympic had just left South ampton with itts load of returning American tourists nnd entered tho Solent which swarms with shipping. It was in the Solent that the Amer ican liner St. Paul was rammed by a British cruiser a few years ago during a blizzard and many persons were drowned. The steel prow of tho warship struck the Olympic squarely on tho starboard quarter. Collission signals were given but men and officers in all parts of the ship felt the jar so distinctly that they immediately mado ready for tho emergencies. The bulk heads of the liner automatically closed with the heavy jolt of tho collission, yet water rushed in like a roaring freshet. Lifeboats and rafts wero manned and stewards went among the fright ened passengers, assuring them that thero was no dangor. While many women were nearly panic stricken, most of the cabin passengers showed remarkable calmness. Tho Olympic was making water fast when sho started for shallow water. Tho nawko nnd othor war ships stood by. Tho agents of tho lino at Southampton wero immediate ly notified by wireless of the Olym pic's plight. Examination showed that tho liner was smashed on tho starboard quar ter nnd tho cargo holds wore badly flooded. Tho deep sea post offico was flooded and it is feared that much mail was destroyed, Aftor tho vessels parted tho Hawko signalled for assistance With a badly crumpled bow tho cruiser mnn aged to keep afloat by looking her forward compartment. Sho steamed to Portmouth with ugs convoying hor. Tho Olympic was temporarily re paired and puuips set to work draiu ine tho wuter from hor hold. Sho was draggod off tho mud by a fleet of; tugs and towed to drydock nt South ampton. This trip was tho stiirt of tho lin er's fifth voyage. Hor commander, E. J.
