YANTIC HAS AN ACCIDENT.
School Ship Puts in at Halifax on Way to
Detroit.

Halifax, n. S. October i9.-When the
United States warship Yantic, minus her
batteries sailed into Halifax harbor at
o'clock this afternoon it was expected by
the military and naval authorities that
she would salute the flag of Vice Admiral
Sir John Fisher of the British battleship
Renown, and also the British colors
floating from staff on the crest of the
citidel. They did not know, or had for
gotten, that she had been stripped of her
guns before sailing from Boston for De-
trolt, Mich, via the ST. Lawrence river.
The Yantic had a rough experience
in the gales of Saturday night and Sun
day, but she survived the storms in
pretty good shape. Some of her pumping
machinery got out of order, but she kes t
on her way to the st. Lawrence and
passed Halifax harbor, when slight
arrangement of another part of her ma
chinery was discovered and the command
er decided to put about for this port.
The officers are reticent on the subject of
the machinery trouble, saying it is not
of serious consequence and that the ship
will be able to proceed in couple Of
days. The Yantic came into harbor with
out assistance and 1t was not known
that thore was anything wrong until the
officers We're questioned.
