Canadian Territory
hit THIRTEEN TIMES In FLEEING
American Fishing Steamer Has Ex-
citing Experience With canadian
Cruiser Vigilant.

Erie, Pa. Special.-The fourth OF
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in mid-Lake Erie when the
Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled the
big steam tug Harry G. Barnhart with
small shells from the rifle on the pa
troll boat. Captain Nick Fassel, of the
tug, admitted after he escaped that the
Vigilant could have sent her to the bot
tom If Captain Dunn had so desired.
They ran more than eight miles un-
der full head before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
Canadians. More than thirty shots
struck the vessel, and of those 10 of
tGe small shells landed with telling eff

mass of wreckage when she came into
port. Having been used formerly for
a pleasure steamer, the Barnhurst is

nus Johnson, faited in the hold from
over-eXertion is keeping the steamer
going ahead. He was reported killed,
but revived after reaching shore. The
fishermen were cut in the fact by
splinters shot away by the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Fassel. was about five miles over the
line drawing nets when the Vigilant
appeared. The other Erie tugs. the
Alma. Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunn or
dered the Barnhurst to stop. but in
stead of doing so, Captain Fassel put
on full steam and started for the line.
He took n southwesterly direction and

liant.
1t has become quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line re-
gardless of strict orders from the com
panies employing them. and having eX
citing brushes with the Vigilance. They
never think of surrender when there
is chance TO run away. The Barn
hurst lost large quantity of nets.

American party was caught in the
mob, and not because they were Amer

THE ADMIRAL WAS NOT ON BOARD
In Lasebo Harbor Sunday Night, the
Japanese Navy Department, An
nounces, the Battleship Mikasa Was
Destroyed by Fire Starting at che
Base of the Mainmast and Subse-
quent Explosion of the Magazine.

Toxic, BY Cable.-The Navy Depart
ment announces that the battleship
Mikasa has been destroyed by fire and
the explosion of her magazine, causing
the loss Of 500 lives, including men of
other ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight Sunday night. Sep
tember 10. Before the officers could be
rescued the fire reached the aft maya
zine. which exploded, blowing a hole in
the port side of the vessel below the
water line and causing the ship to
sink
An investigation is now being held
to determine the cause of the fire.
TOGO NOT ON BOARD.
Admiral Togo was not on board the
Mikasa when the disaster to the battle
ship occurred
The disaster to the battleship has
cast & gloom everywhere. The Mikasa
was Togo's flagship and was endeared
to the hearts of the people.
The ship was at anchor in Sasebo
harbor when the fire started at the
base of the mainmast at midnight. 1t
spraed with great rapidity, exploding
the after magazine an hour after the
fire had been discovered. The Mikasa
sank in shallow water, and it as be-
lieved that the ship cen be repaired
Rescuing parties were sent from the
various warships in the harbor and
there was heavy casualties among
them.
CAUSE OF FIRE NOT KNOWN.
Various conjectures are current as
to the cause of the fire. Some attrib-
ute it to an overcharge of electricity.
Great relief was felt throughout ia
pan when it was learned that Admiral
Togo was not on board the ship at the
time of the fire.
The Mikasa was first-class battle
ship Of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launched
in 1892. The battleship was 400 feet
long. had a speed of over Is knots and
carried crew of 935 officers and men.
She was heavily armored and carried
four 12-inch guns, IA six-inch guns,
twenty 12-pounders and a number OF
small rapid-fre guns. She had four
submerged torpedo tubes.
In the battle of the Sea of Japan the
Mikasa was the heaviest loser OF all
the Japanese ships, having 63 killed
and wounded. She approached nearer
to the the Russians than any other bat
tleship.
The Mikasa was also the flagship of
Admiral Togo after the great naval
battle fought off Port Arthur on Au-
gust 10, 1904. on which occasion the
Japanese flagship also suffered the
most, but continued in the fighting
line. On that occasion the Mikasa had
four officers and 90 men killed, six Of
ficers and % men severely wounded
and four Officers and % men slightly
wounded
