The naval court inquiring into the
recent collision Of the battleships Mis-
souri, and Illinois off Guantanamo has
highly commended Captain Bradford
of the Illinois for his GOODNESS in pre-
venting a mortal blow to his ship. The
court finds that the accident was due
entirely to the failure of the steam
steering gear of the Missouri When
the Missouri suddenly veered toward
the Illinois while they were cruising
abreast, 500 yards apart, Bradford
promptly swung his ship around to-
ward the Missouri so that the latter
crossed in his rear. Later, when the
collision occurred a blow amidshps
was narrowly averted. The propeller Of
the Illinois was bent, and an effort is
being made at the Brooklyn navy yard
to straighten it.
