S. S. ADMIRAL WATSON
SUNK AT THE DOCK
A. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE. Aug. 29.—The steamship
Admiral Watson of the Admiral line
was rammed and sunk this morning by
the Alaska steamship Pariaso while
lying at her dock partially loaded witli
construction material for the Alaska
engineering commission. Owing to a
dense fog which hung heavily over the
water the Pariaso was unable to ac
curately locate her bearings while at
tempting to reach her dock which is
alongside that of the Watson.
The Pariaso was creeping slowly
through the fog when without hardly
any warning the vessel collided with
the Watson sending her to the bottom
within a very short time. A long
shoreman who was working aboard the
Watson was killed by the collision but
there were no further casualties. The
l’ariaso was also slightly injured.
