PRAIRIE REMAINS
FAST ON MUD FLATS

Philadelphia, Dee. with nearly
all her coal and great quantities of
her stores on lighters the transport
Prairie is still fast tonight on the mud
flats of Pea Patch island, where she
grounded Thursday night while speed
ing down the Delaware river on her
way to Contra America
Another attempt was made at flood
tide this afternoon to float the vessel,
but she was not moved. The big trans
port is imhedded five nr six inet in the
soft bottom of the river and it is now
believed that her cargo will have to
be taken off before there win be a
chance to free her. According to
river men she is about $50 feet west
of the main channel. -Four tugs
worked on the ship for two hours this
afternoon ana whether another at
tempt will be made to pull her off at
high water tomorrow is not known
here.
Admiral Kimball on board the Prai-
rie is in constant communication by
wireless with the navy department at
Washington and expects to receive or
ders during the night regarding fur
ther attempts to float the vessel.
AS the vessel is resting in a bed of
mud there has been no injury to the
huh. The officers and 200 marines
on board are cha1ing at the delay in
getting away but are working vigor-
ously to help float the vessel. The
marines have been put to good use
in lightering the vessel.
The work of preparing the trans
port Dixie. now at the navy yard, has
progressed so far that the ship can
sail within a few hours to take the
PraiFe's place The Dixie was being
made ready for sea before the Prairie
went aground, and after the news of
her mishap reached the yard the work
of getting her ready was pushed as
fast as possible The officers of the
Dixie fully expect to be ordered to
take the Prairie's marines to Panama.
