gomery is of such a character that it
may take the vessel out of commission
for three months or more. 1t is the
opinion of officers of the ship and the
representatives of the builders, who
accompanied the vessel on Its trial trip,
that no blame can attach to any one,
and that the break was purely an acct
dent of the kind which cannot be
avoided. The entire trouble was caused
by loose nut on the crank-pin end Of
the connecting rod
PoRT TOWNSEND, July 3.-The bark r.
X. Ham, Captain Cove, bound for San
Francisco from Port Blakely with load
of lumber, went ashore at an early hour
this morning on the sand spit off Dunge-
ness. A dense fog was prevailing at
the time and that, together with the
fact that the British lighthouse race
rocks are undergoing repairs, caused
the disaster. The vessel struck almost
the identical spot where the Chilean
ship Eritrea went aground last year,
and proved almost total loss. Ship
ping men fear if the vessel is not gotten
off at high tide this evening she never
will be. Four powerful tugs have been
dispatched to the scene, but no news is
obtainable at this hour. The present is
Captain Gove's one hundredth trip and
he never had an accident before. The
vessel is owned by the Blakely Mill
Company.
The steamer Mukogawo Moru sailed
from Iwakuni for Osaka June 18th, hav-
ing 100 passengers. Near Miyajinia
about a. IN. the steamer came into col
lision with Japanese junk crowded
with passengers. The Junk had no
lights displayed, and before her presence
was suspected the steamer was upon
| her. The sharp bow of the steamer
crashed into the frail craft and almost
the whole side OF the latter was demol-
ished. She filed and sank like lead, the
passengers being thrown into the water.
Every effort was made by the steamer
to save the passengers and crew, and
she succeeded in picking up twenty
| four. Several more were rescued by
fishing boats, but the remaining thirty
were lost.
The United States cruiser San Fran
cisco arrived in New York on July LIST
from Bluefelds. The San Francisco

sarge, picked up at Cayman reef.
Many of the articles were purchased by
officers and members of the crew. A
hundred dollars was given for num-
Der of rifles and cutlasses. A Gatling
gun was secured complete with the
exception of the crank bar. The arti-
Gle most priced was the magazine lamp
which was on the Kearsarge when she
fought the Alabama. A pair of Indian
clubs which belonged to the Kearsarge
will be presented to the New York
Athletic Club. Two tanks of wet
powder completed the list of recovered
articles.
