Philadelphia, Jan Il - The

the latest pride of the navy, calcu-
lated to withstand the fercest on
slaughts of shot and shell, today
lies almost utterly helpless be-
cause of a a narrow ledge of sunk
en- rock in the Delaware river,
above Marcus Hook, Pa, on
which she struck heavily yester-
day afternoon. Her lower double
compartments forward were close
ly stove, and it was only by the
merest good fortune that the big
vessel did not sink. This would
undoubtedly have been the result
had not her inner compartments
successfully withstood the shock.

the rocks, and is now tied to the
big stone icebreakers at Marcus
Hook, protected from the heavy
ice gorges in midriver.
