VESSEL AGROUND
MISHAP IN A FOG. CRASH INTO A PROMENADE. TWO STEAMERS IN COLLISION. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, May 17. Coming to rest with her bows 30yds from the seafront houses, above which her forecastle towered, the Russian 2498-ton cargo vessel Ussuri crashed into the promenade at Seaford, Sussex, during a dense fog. The noise of the impact and of the ship grinding her way through the concrete groyne, with the continual sounding of her siren, alarmed the inhabitants of the town, who ran to the shore, but could see nothing until the sun came out and revealed the vessel wedged in the stonework and stranded by the receding tide.
Meanwhile, off Beachy Head, a few miles away, the large Clan Line steamers Clan Mackinlay and Clan Ross collided in the fog, the latter being slightly holed on the port side and the former damaging her bows. Both proceeded.
