main here until the inquiry inGp the
collision is completed. Thus far only
a single body has been recovered by
the divers, who have gone down TO

said the Anacona's bow crashed seven
feet into the training schooner's side,
bringing down the latteT'S mastS and
rigging and preventing many of the
cadets from gaining the deck. Those
who were not entangled in the wreck
