when the Kentucky and Kearsarge,
having run aground at the entrance to
the channel IN the lower bay, the for

explained the accident in detail but
would not comment on it other than to
say that the high wind, the action of
the tide and the narrowness of the

the whole situation. There is hardly
any comment to be made. Such acct

Illinois were following next in line and.
before they could alter their course,
the Alabama eollided with the Ken
lucky, striking her a glancing blow.
The Illinois just got clear of the tangle
and proceeded down the bay, anchor
ing outside the bar with the flagship
Maine. The starboard side of the
Kentucky, above the water line, was
quite badly damaged. She will come
up to the navy yard for repairs.
The squadron Of battleships was
bound for Hampton roads, where the
