III the murk of the worst fog of tliewinter the White Star liner Adriatic,one of the mightiest of ocean crosscrs.bound for the Mediterranean, slid ontothe muddy bottom of the channel southof Governors Island yesterday on anebbing tide while groping seaward incharge of Pilot Kdward Brown andstuck there until f,45 in the eveningThen under the impuls of a rising tideand with the help of her engines shefreed herself and proceeded to sea, themist having lifted a bit.

There were other mishaps to navi-gators playing blind man's buff In thegloom. The most serious was due tothe ofTott of the (Mil Dominion linerHamilton to disturb the granite founda-tion of Port Wadsworth, designed be-

fore the clll war by Robert 13. Leewhen he was In the Ferlce of I'ncleSam. The Hamilton, with forty-seve- n

cabin and eighteen ateerage passengers,was bound for Norfolk. She came barklawt night with a big hole In her bow-tw-

feet above the water line and herpassengers will be sent soutn on an-

other ship She will go into drydock for repairs.

The Adriatic sailed frot,. her NorthRiver pier at noon. Tlie fog was of thevariety culled by shellbacks "pea soup,"and Capt. B. Y. Hayes and his officerscould not see tlie crow's nest from thebridge. Soundings were taken as thebig ship proceeded cautloiiRly down thebay. It is said the strong ebb tide setthe Adriatic over toward the Brooklynedge of the channel Pilot Brown andCapt. Haes ufter they found the watershoaling derided to drop anchor. Asthe skipper said later In a wireless mes-sage to the llne'a otllce In BowlingGreen, the anchor did not take "Imme-diate hold" and the ship slid almostbroadside on the bank of the channel.The berth was soft and no passengersknew until some reporters from Brook-ls- n

boarded the liner that she wasaground.

Cup; Whalen of the municipal ferry-boat Gowanus. which spent more thanan hour getting from the foot ofThirty-nint- h street, South Urooklyn, tothe foot of Whitehall street. Manhattan,ran across the giant ship In the ob-

scuration and asked her commander Ifhe wanted any help. He said he didnot. Meanwhile the ollice of the linewas having wireless conversation withCapt. Haye. Although he was serenelcertain that Ills ship would come offat high water In the evening he wasnot unwilling to have tugs sent to himto mslst if necessary, so four powrrf ii

Men boats went down tohim. Tile tug KiiKeiie Moran also wentalongside and loafed around until shetoutld t.!.al bet services would not berequired.

clared that he hail worked off the mudnnd had anchored Just fifteen minutesbefore and would proceed as soon asthe air cleated. He was Inclined tomake IIeIu of his misadventure. Hesaid he had grounded. If voit could reallvcall it that, at nbout l.'i. that Un-
