American Line. which sailed for Hamburg at
1;15 D. m. yesterday. went aground near
inner buoy No 8 in the Gedney Channel, near
Sandy Hook. at 4:40 p. m. The mishap was due

marine observer at Sandy Hook reported that he
was unable to see the Deutschland when she
passed out. owing to the dense weather Inc
weather had not been clear enough for obserVa-

night.
