LAUNCHES COLLIDE
WITH FATAL RESULT
Two Belonging to Battleships Vir?

0 tier 0(1 Old Point
GOXM STEIN LOSES HIS LIFE
Four Seamen of the Virginia Were
Picked Up by the Connecticut's
L.-u.nch After the Accident?Vir?
ginia's Launch Goes to Bottom?
Accident Occurred Early Yesterday.
(Ham in fin Bureau, Daily Proas).
OLD POINT. VA.. April 20.?
As a result of a collision between
the launches of the battleships Vir?
ginia and Connecticut in Hampton
Roads yesterday 'morning, Chief Coxs.
wain Karl Gustavo Stein, of the Vir?
ginia, was drowned, and four other
sailors had narrow escapes.
The Virginia's launch was sent to
the bottom of Hampton Roads, while
the laitncli from the Connecticut was
only slightly damaged. The chief en?
gineer of the Virginia is missing, hut
it 1? not positively known that he
was in the launch when tho collision
occurred.
According to the liest obtainable In?
formation the launch from the Vir?
ginia containing the chief coxswain
and four seamen started from Old
Point wharf at midnight Friday to
go to the Virginia. The Connecti?
cut's launch left a few minutes later
and It is said that the Virginia's boat
was run into amidship when within
a few hundred yards of the battleship
Connecticut.
The Connecticut's launch as soon
as the accident. Occurred put out her
search lights and succeeded in pink?
ing up four of tho men, before the
Virginia's launch sunk. The rescued
men were In bad condition and it was
said yesterday that two of them may
not recover.
It was also said that Admiral Evans
is going to order an official inves?
tigation.of the accident and it is pos?
sible that Coxswain Cassldy. who was
in charge of the Connecticut's boat,
will have to stand trial by eourtmar
t in I.
No attempt was made ycsterdny_to
raise the sunken launch of the Vir?
ginia and therefore it will be several
days before it is positively known
whether or not. the chief engineer of
the Virginia was drowned with Coxs?
wain Stein.
. Believing that the collision was ritte
to carelessness upon the part of the
coxswain, Admiral Davis yesterday
detailed a special guard for the wharf
at the fort to see that the sailors
and seamen are in the proper condi?
tion to sail the launches.
This, is the first serious accident
that'ltas occurred among the ships of
the North Atlantic Squadron since
the fighters came into Hampton
Bonds and from the manner In which
tho- commanding admiral has taken
charge of this one it Is not expected
that any morn collisions will take
place while the ships are here.
The drowning of Chief Ccxswnin
Stein caused much sorrow among the
men on the Virginia, as he was a
very popular young man and highly
esteemed by his comrades. The crew
Is hopeful that the chief engineer
will show up today or trimorrow.
As the accident occurred at mid?
night, It was not reported until early
yesterday morning.
