Mishap To The Nashville.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 23, 1912:
Runs on Mud Bank to Avoid Collision — Tugs Free Her for Cuban Trip.
    NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 22.— To avoid collision with a dredge off Bush Bluff Light late to-day, the gunboat Nashville stuck her nose in the mud and remained aground until nearly 9 o'clock to-night, when, with the assistance of three powerful tugs from the navy yard, she was pulled back into deep water.
    The Nashville was bound to Guantanamo with supplies for warships ordered to Mexico, and was endeavoring to make her way through a fleet of vessels at anchor off Lambert's Point waiting for coal. After being hauled off the flats the gunboat proceeded to Hampton Roads. She will probably put to sea to-morrow.
