"REMEY."
Pinnacle rock, where the Oregon ran,
aground, is about 25 feet high and
lies 23 miles south of Howki island.
and about ~ north-northeast of the
island of Siao Lu Shan. The rock is
encircled oy shoal and should not be
approached nearer than three cables.
According to the hydrogra phic bureau
officials there is strong current from
three to five knots speed always prev
alent in this vicinity and this fact, to-
gether with the dense fog that pre-
vailed at the time, greatly enhanced the
danger in navigating the Oregon. The
officials of the naval photographers Of
fee say there is great rise and fall
of the tide at this point (about ten feet)
and it is possible that the Oregon may
be lifted off in this way and set afoat
without assistance.

Launched in 1893 from the shipyards
of the. Union iron works in San Fran
cisco, the Oregon began to make his
tory on the day of it's trial by surpass-
ing all records for speed for battle
ships. Its achievements during the
war with Spain made it the best-known
vessel in the American navy and at,
tracted the attention of naval experts
in every country. The ,heaviest-ar-
mored: vessel in the world, the Oregon
was in construction sister to the
battleships. Indiana and Massachu-
setts, the three largest fighting craft
in the navy of the United States. It
has a displacement of 1O,2SS tons,
length over all of 1854 feet and breadth
of beam of 70 feet. She draws 27.S feet
of water and her coal capac city is 1874
tons, enough to carry her 5000 miles
at her best speed. At a speed of ten
miles an hour this coal supply would
last her 10000 miles. Her indicated
horse power is Hill. The steel plates
on her armor belt, ba rbe ties and tur-
retss are&a1ss inches thick. She carries
four. 13-inch guns and eight s-inch guns,
mounted by pairs in turrets. There are
fours6-inch guns. 2o..6-pounde rss and five
torpedo tubes of the Whitehead type.
.s.. Capt. ,,Wilde's< sta teme1lt of the in
.iuries4 sustained by the Oregon is
scarcely sufficient to enable the naval
construct tors here to form definite
opinion as to the prospects Of saving
the famous ship. They say, however
the ship probably can be saved, if the
weather does not become rough, but
unfortunately this is the season Of
storms in Chinese waters.
