o'clock the Chilean insurgent torpedo
cruiser Almirante Lynch was sighted OF
Punta dc Piedra, in IquIque bay. by the
Chilean war-ship Almirante Cochrane,
which Immediately gave chase to the
cruiser, but was soon left far behind by
the faster-sailing torpedo vessel. The Al
mirante Lynch steamed away in north
erly direction and was never within range
OF the ironclad's guns. The Almirante
Cochrane kept up the chase until she lost
sight of the enemy altogether. She con-
tiDued to sail about for few hours, but
was ut last forced TO return TO the bay
without sighting the cruiser again. She
arrived at her anchorage at lO;JO A. Nj.
TO HEAD OFF THE CRUISER.
In the mean time the authorities had
telegraphed 20 Pisagua where the Huas-
car ana Magellanes were anchored. and
these vessels started TO cut of the retreat
of the Almirante Lynch and sighted her of
Junin. The Huascar. when II was thought
she was in ranger the cruiser, fired some
light shots, which were returned by the
enemy. Tho Almirante Lynch. however,
gradually got away from her pursuers. APP
parently without any damage. one met u
small boat containing a woman and two
men of Caleta Ruena, and obliged them
to abandon the boat. The Lynch also
stopped the Waterfront Juanita, IN route
