That Inuboyesaki was passed about
midnight on July 26 after heavy
weather approaching typhoon force
earlier IN the day. That after pass
ing Inuboyesaki a proper course was
set to continue the journey past the
land at Ratsuura. That the said course
and the subsequent changes of course
to the time of the stranding were
such as to constitute a more than
ordinarily safe track along the coast.
That the calculated position of the
vessel at the moment of striking
worked out according to the records
in the log-book and the evidence of
the master and the first mate as to
the course was about eighteen miles
to sea from her actual position on
the rocks at Nojima. That subse-
uuent to losing sight of the light at
Inuboyesah no light was seen till
after the vessel struck, nor was any
light seen at Molina.
THAT the master and officers OF
the watch knew of the existence Of
explosive fog-signals at Molina, that
neither they nor the lookout, nor the
quartermaster at the wheel, heard
any sound thereof, and that they had
no warning from this
source as to their proximity to land.
That the early hours of July q were
foggy at intervals, and that besides
the fog at sea bank of dense smoke
or mist enveloped the land into the
appearance of another bank of fog.

MORE ABOUT THE RESCUE MADE
BY SURF BOARDERS At LONG BRANCH

The stranger imediately grabbed
hold of Rowan and held him so that
he had to fight to free his arms. He
talked to the man and told him to
keep quiet and he would be all right,
but the stranger had become thor
oughly unnerved and hindered his
own rescue. Rowan was also forced
to swallow considerable sea water
by the mans frantic efforts to hang
onto him and he felt himself slip

and Stout who were over outside the
lines waiting for Dig breakers with
their Hawaiian surf boards, became
aware of the situation.

dizzy from his forced immersion and
placed him on his surf board. Stout

Atlantic Fleet Practice.
(By The Associated Press. }


WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. THE
Atlantic fleet is accomplishing much
in the solution of the problems of war
by the target practice in progress off
the Chesapeake capes, according to
advices to the navy department. These
exercises will determine primarily the
effectiveness of long range firing. Bat
ties of the future will be fought at
long range, between a maximum and
minimum of 10000 and 5000 yards,
and the present practice is expected
to yield much valuable information as
to efficiency of the gun crews and ms
to how far the guns of various Caliber
can be depended upon to hit with any
degree of accuracy
Mystery Surrounds Practice.
At the close of each day Rear-Ad-
miral Hugo Osterhaus sends a wire
less message to the secretary of the
navy, stating that he has completed
problem A" or problem B." This
means much to the officers and Off
Gals of the navy, but very little of
the information will leak to the public.
It will be always enshrouded with Sc
crecy in order that no foreign power
may learn just what this country is
doing with naval ordnance problems.
The comparative records of the various
ships, it is said, may be published

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13,-Having
abandoned hope of getting the cruiser
squadron here during President TAFT S
visit. the exposition directors are maxi
ing every effort to induce the Navy
Department to order the presence here
of the old battleship oregon during
the period of the Presidents stay. The
famous ship was put in commission
two weeks ago at the Bremerton navy
yard. and in view of her proximity to
this port and the small expense 1t
would entail to bring her here, there
is every reason to believe that the
secretay of the navy will acquiesce in
the pleas which are coming to him
from all sides.
Scott Has Special Pride.
Henry T. Scott, one of the exposi-
ton directors, was an owner and d.
rector of the Union Iron Works, where
the Oregon was built, and naturally he
takes a special pride in her record and
popularity. He sent the following tele-
gram to Acting Secretary Beekman
