De Kroonland is op de Schelde tussen Calloo en Austruweel in aanvaring gekomen met de sleepboot Elise
De kapitein, de machinist en de stoker van de sleepboot werden door den schok in het water geslingerd. De kapitein is spoedig gered; de machinist is verdronken, evenals de stoker, wiens lijk niet gevonden is.
The captain, the engineer and fireman of the tug by the shock were thrown into the water. The captain was soon rescued and the driver drowned, like the fireman, whose body was not found.
