Show MMIir- DISASTERS ARE CAUSED WISE FOG North German Lloyd Company Com-pany the Principal Sufferer, LONDON, Juno IS. Vog, which has been falling ami lilting intermittently over different parts of tho British coast for two da vs, has cause,! un tin pi ece-dented ece-dented number of acrid ems to shipping. ship-ping. The North German Lloyd company com-pany has been the principal sufferer. While the company 's start at London Lon-don and Southampton were Lny docking dock-ing the Kaiser Wilhehn II, which was badly ripped in a collision with the Incemore yesterday and debarking her passengers, they received a second shock in the news that the company's steamer Buelow, from Yokohama, with more than 300 pa5onger$, had stuck her nose tightly into the rocks ot Biackner bay and was held fust there. This accident was without loss ot lite, as in the ease or the Kaiser Wiihelm, because the sea was perte.uly smooth. The Buelow resisted an attempt to pull her off with three tugs. Her inner skin has not been penetratcu, but it was considered advUable to transfer the passengers and baggage to tut;s. Later the passengers were sent to Weymouth, and from there by special train "to Loudon. Lou-don. Colonel Boosevelt's London friends were startled by a message which the local news agency circulated this afternoon after-noon that the Hamburg-American's mammoth steamer Impi-rat or, on which the colonel was to embark, had gone ashore off Bembndge, Isie of Wight. The Imperator soon disproved this report re-port by steaming into Southampton. The American yacht I t owaua, belonging be-longing to Addison V. Armour of the New York Yacht club, -went a:-hore at Chapman's pool, between Worrbarrow and Sr. Aiban's heads. The Brnh vaoht Caryad also grounded in the fng near St. Aiban's heads. It i? helievel both will be floated. The divers ' examination ex-amination of the Kaizer Wil helm II and tbe passengers' stories show that good construction as well as good management man-agement and fair weather saved her from a tragic fate. She lie at Br Southampton dock with two rents in her side, li4 and IS fpet long, below the water line, with two compartments flooded. The Incpmore, whhtb rut into the Kaiser Wilhelm Wednesday afternoon, also has been docked, with bows badlv damaged. The collision almost duplicated dupli-cated that between the Empress of Ireland Ire-land and fhe Storstad. |
