DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT
Washington, Deo, 5. Oommandor Marsh, in command of
the Yankee, advised the navy department of the second cUaiiKter
to the Yankee. . He says:
"After floating the ship she had a list to starboard, which in
creased until it had broken her berth deok airport and flooded
the compressor room and fire room. The ship listed steadily and
sank deeper. I was on deck and all hands were sont away in
tugs and we had no casualties. The ship is settling in 42 feet
of water, and the wrecking company will renew operations at
once." ,
A committee will be appointed to establish the responsibility
of Commander Marsh or other offioert of the Yankee for the
accident.
