Oregon
I-'o si-
Kan Aground in n Dense
Iris Coins' to Her Assistance.
W.HjiiiKCiTox, June 30. Tho following
dispatches were received at tho navydu
parttnont relative lo the grounding of
the Oregon :
"Che Foo, Juno L'u. Secretary of the
navy r Anchored yesterday during a
dento fog in seventeen fathoms, three
miles south of How Ko Light, Gulf of Pe
Chi Li, Kent out two boats and sounded;
least water five and a half fathoms,
Weather clear. Got under way und
struck Punclo rock. Much water in for
ward compartment. Perfectly smooth.
Shall charter steamer if possible at Che
Foo and lighten the ship. Rock through
side of ship above double bottom about
frame 11). Small holes also through
bottom of ehip, Wildk"
"Che l-'oo, June 29. Secretary of the
navy, Washington : Iris gone to assistance
of Oregon. Raymond Rookkk,
"Commanding Nashville."
"Hong Kong, Juno 20. Secretary of
navy, Washington : Princetown arrived.
Urooklyn leaves for Nagasaki. The
Ztillro at Olio Foo lias been sent lo assist
the Oregon, reported by Rogers on rock
south How Ko Light. Iris going to her
assistance. RitMnv."
The point whore the Oregon grounded
Is fifty miles west northwest of Che Foo.
Tiiku is 150 miles west of Pinnuclo rock,
where hIio struck. Pinnacle rock is about
25 feet high, is encircled by a shoal, und
should not be approached nearer than
three cables. According to the Hydro
graphic iiureau offlclale, there is a strong
current of from three lo five knots' speed
always prevalent in this vicinity, und
this fact, together with tho dense fog
that prevailed at the time, greatly en
hanced the danger of navigating the
Oregon.
The officials of tho Naval Hydrographv
er'fl office say there is a great rise and
fall of tiie tide at this point -about 10
feet and it is possible that the Oregon
may have been lifted by the water and
set all'jat without assistance.
Captain Wilde's statement of the in
juries sustained by tho Oregon is scarcely
sufficient to unable the navy constructor
here lo form a definite opinion as to the
prospects of aaving tho famous ship.
They aay, howover, that tho ship prob
ably can bo saved if tho weather does
not become rough, but, unfortunately,
this is tho season of storms in Chinese
waters.
At tiie request of the secretary of the
navy, the state department today sent a
message to the Russian government at
St. Petersburg, asking permission to
take the Oregon to Port Arthur to be
docked tliero in the event thai tho ship
can bo flouted.
It may be said that, from the facts
set out in Captain Wilde's cablegram,
tho officials aro not inclined to censure
him. llo was under orders to hurry,
warranting tho asHUinptiou of risk. He
appears to have observed all of the usual
precautious possible under such orders.
and it is known that the charts of that
section aro inadequate. Air. Wu, tho
Chinese minister, said this particular
spot was a graveyard of shipping.-
