DAMAGED LINERS KEPT OUTSIDE BY FOG

The fog which occasioned the collision off Breaker Point between the P. and O. liner, Canton, and M.M. liner, Marechal Joffre, yesterday, is to- day preventing them from making harbour.. Both vessels reached the waters of the Colony dur- ing the night, but visibility is practically nil and it is feared that both may be compelled to re- : main outside until this afternoon.
