VESSEL WEDGED IN PROMENADE
Channel Fog Accident BOW THIRTY YARDS FROM HOUSES By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received Muy 18, 7.45 p.m.) London, May 17. Coining to rest with her bows 30 yards from seafront houses, above which the bows towered, the Russian cargo boat Ussuri, of 2498 tons, crashed into the promenade at Seaford. Sussex, during a dense fog. Tile noise of the collision and of the Ussuri grinding her way through the concrete groyne and the continual sounding of her siren alarmed 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 left stranded by the receding tide. Meanwhile, off Beachy Head a few miles away, the Clan MaeKinlay and the Clan Ross collided in a fog. The latter was slightly holed on the port side and the former damaged her bows. Both vessels proceeded to port.
