ACCIDENT no THE ELFRTDA.
of Signals Causes u
Collision.


| The new yacht Of the naval reserves,
the Elfrida, met with an unfortunate,
though happily not serious accident at
the end of her trial trip yesterday.
With five officers and twenty men on
board she left the anchorage at the foot
Of Heaton's wharf at o'clock In the
morning. The day was spent adjusting
the compass and obtaining the devia-
tion of the card in the practice Of steer
ing, the use of patent and chip logs,
coasting and deep sea leads, establish
ing of ships position by cross bearings
and soundings and other manoeuvres as
they were ordered by the officers. Dur
ing the afternoon, while the ship was
going ahead at about ten knot speed
a dummy was thrown overheard with
out previous warning, and the call
man overheard" sounded. The ship
was stopped, life boats launched and
one-half minutes.
At 5 o'clock they returned to the
city While docking at Heaton's wharf
one of the signals to reverse waa either
not understood or not heard by the en-
gineer, and with crash the Elfrida ran
into the steamer Continental, which is
moored to her dock. The bowsprit of
the yacht was broken and her head
gear carried away, while two planks
in the upper forward structure Of the
Continental were stove in. The dam
age to both was slight, but the acci-
dent was greatly regretted by the Off
GERS and members Of the reserves on
board
The trip, barring this accident, was
greatly enjoyed by all and pleased the
officers in charge greatly. 1t was more
in the nature of an experiment than
anything else and the results obtained
were commendable. The primary OBJ
ject Of the trip was the finding out as
to what routine of instruction is best
adapted to the ship and how large
crew is possible
In general the course of instruction to
be followed will be much the same as
that of yesterday To this will be add
ed fire drills, band and ship drills, prac-
tive with navy and merchant marine
signal codes, target practice with
Hotchkiss single barrelled rapid fire
guns and general instruction in marlin
spike seamanship.
