Ferry Number 6 leaving Van- couver at 7.50 last Friday morn- ing was i» collision with the Princess Alice which was inward bound. The alertness and ability of the captain averted what might easily have been a seri- ous accident. At the time of con- tact, we understand, the engines of the ferry were reversed and she had stern weigh on. The collision was caused by the dense fog which enshrouded the har- bor that morning. No. 6 had her stern post twisted but otherwise was uninjured and made the round trip to the city. The Princ- ess Alice had several of her plat- es dented and was taken off the run for inspection.
