FERRY BOAT CUT IN TWO
Five persons are known to have perished, 20 were injured and 80 are missing, in a collision between a ferry steamer and a dredger in the river Tagus.
During the fog the ferry boat was taking workers from Lisbon to Cacilhas, on the opposite side of the river,
The ferry boat, which was crowd- ed, was cut in two, and sank rapid- ly.
Most of the passengers and crew were flung into the water 'and were carried away by the swift current. Some clung to the wreck, and their cries could be heard from both banks.
Boats went to the rescue imme- diately, and warships at anchor turned their searchlights on the
scene.
