SUNK AT EDGE MOOR.
The British Steamer Earnmoor Struck
Rock In the Delaware.

The British Steamer Earnmoor Struck a
Rock IN the Delaware.
The Philadelphia Record of to-day says:
The Earn Line steamship Earnmoor,
which left this port on Thursday after
noon with cargo of coal for st. Thomas,
West Indies got out of her course and
ran upon rock in the Delaware river,
between Edge Moor and Riverside,
during Thursday night, STAYING a
big hole in her bottom. To save the YES.
sci 1t was necessary to run her ashore, 80
she was headed for shallow water, and in
twenty minutes she grounded. The YES
sci now rests easily in the soft mud, the
forward part of the ship and the engine
room filled with water at half tide. while
the decks are flush with the water at
high tide. The damage to the vessel and
cargo win probably amount to about $780,
600. The ship is not in danger as she
now lies, but can quickly be pumped out
and repaired.
The causes of the accident are sur
rounded with considerable uncertainty.
The rock upon which the vessel struck is
a quarter of a mile out of the regular
channel, and when the accident occurred
both the master and pilot were on watch.
Captain Gray, who was in command, is
the junior master of the line, and for
merly was in command of the tramp steam
ship Jane Kelsall. Pilot Southland was
taking the vessel out. No explanation
has yet been offered to show why the
steamer was out Of the channel, or how
she met with the mishap. Current reports
last evening attributed the accident to
mismanagement on the part of the officers
in charge, as the night was clear and the
rock long distance from the regular
course. An official inquiry will probably
be instituted.
The cargo consisted Of 1900 tons Of
coal shipped by Berwind, White & Co., to
the French Transatlantic Company, atSt.
Thomas, for use in coaling vessels arriv-
ing at that port. The entire cargo IA in
sured, and will have to be discharged be-
fore the vessel can be repaired.
Herman Wolter, the submarine diver
together with Alfred Earnshaw, the
managing owner Of the line. have gone
to the wrecked vessel, and the hole will
be patched and the vessel pumped out
and towed back.
The steamships Earnwell and Earn
moor, together with feet Of other Eng
fish vessels running on time charters,
constitute the Earn Line plying between
Philadelphia and Santiago de Cuba in the
Cuban iron ore carrying trade for the
Jaragua Iron Company. The Earnmoor
was built by the Palmer Shipbuilding
Company, at New Castle England. and
although under the English flag, is en-
tirely owned by Philadelphians.
