ACCIDENT TO A WARSHIP.
STRIKES A REEF.
Received August 23, 8 40 a.m LONDON, August 22. The battleship Hannibal, while executing a gun-laying test off Babbicombe, on the coast of Devonshire, scraped a reef. Several plates were torn off, and the boiler room and oil fuel storage tanks were flooded. The vessel will be docked at Devonport. But for the high tide running and the the fact that the ship was going at fuil speed, the damage would have been much greater.
