From all accounts obtainable tho rlenso ness of tho fog made high speed perilous, .and both ships were going at reduced rates. Their fog whl-tlcs were kopi ? blowing regularly, and were distinctly heard by each other boforo the crash. Passengers nnd most of the crew un ? both ships wero asleep below when the disaster happened, and whon tho terrible shock nnd grinding noise awakened them a panic-stricken rush for safoty took place. The discipline of the crows was ndmlr tible, nnd "women first" was the Initial command to Captain Tonnell after the life-boats had been prep-trod for lowering. Tho frlghte.nod colored women piled In? to the first boat of the Saglimw, and nil lost their lives. The first two b-iats from the Hamilton first made a brief survey of that vessel s condition, and seeing that no serious In _el_r,v-.hnd been sustained hastened to the Sngtnnw. CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT. The following statement was mode to the press repr?sentatives by Captain Boaz. of the Hamilton, this afternoon: "It was clear when we left New York yesterday iiflornoon, but ?ve run Into a fog bank four miles north of Est? Harbor, the fog lasting until wc reached Cape Charles this morning. It wns nbout 4:40 this morning, nnd we were creeping at nlinut nine knots nn hour.

We could not see a ship's length abend, when we hoard a whistle 3n thn stnrhonrd bow two points nhend. . t stopped the ?a mil (on. and then 1 henrd mother whistle. Suddenly the Snglnnw oomed up three points on the port and ;he Siiginaw attempted to run ncross ol .he Hampton's bow. We backed nt full ?peed, but struck the Sngtnnw on the >ort quarter. In ? very short time she vent down. When the Hamilton backed iff she wag settling:. We lowered two mats, but mennwhiio the Snglnaw had owered thejr. bonis nnd ? rnft.

Dne of these, from the Saglnnw. filled with passengers, wns overturned In the miction nnd all hands wpre thrown Into the water.
