New Bedford, Mass, Dec. 6.---With
only a portion of her forward deck,
her funnel and her masts projecting
above the water. the United States
cruiser Yankee, which Friday was
foated by the dangerous Hen and
Chickens Ledge at the western en-
trance to Buzzards bay, where she had
been held for 10 weeks, rested Satur-
day night on the bottom of BuZZards
tay. not far from the Penikese Island
leper settlement. Although the Yam
KEGS present POSITION and condition
are most unfavorable, it is the general
opinion among wreckers and naval Of
ficers that the raising of the Yankee
will prove to be a much less difficult
undertaking than was the freeing her
from Spindle Rock of the Hen and
Chickens ledge. where she had rested
since Sept. % last.
The latest misfortune to an unfortu-
nate ship was due primarily to the
rough weather which prevailed in Buz-
yards bay Friday night, combined with
the strained and leaky condition of the
cruiser Towing hawserS connecting
the Yankee with two tug boats parted
repeatedly, and it was during an en-
deavOr to attach another towing line
that one of the tugs, the John Hughes,
was lifted on great wave and smash

breaking in a port, which allowed the
water to flood the compartment where
