WENT ON THE ROCKS.

Cruiser Brooklyn Narrowly Escapes Co
ing to the Bottom of the Delaware.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.-The United
States cruiser Brooklyn lies almost ut
terly helpless because Of q narrow ledge
of sunken rock in the Delaware river
above Marcus Hook, Pa, on which she
struck heavily during the afternoon.
Her lower double compartments for
ward were completely stove in and it
was only by the smerest good fortune
that the big vessel did not sink. This
would undoubtedly have been the re.
suit had not her inner compart.
ments successfully withstood the
shock. AS it was she was pulled clear
Of the rocks, and is now tied to the big
stone ice breakers at Marcus Hook,
protected from the heavy ice gorges in
mid river. The big vessel is seriously
damaged. How the accident occurred
can only be established by a court Of
inquiry, and this Captain Cook Of the
Brooklyn has already asked for. What
makes the accident even more deplor-
able is the fact that this was the first
time the ship has been handled by the
present officers and crew since going
into commission in the early part OF
December
