Battleships in collision near Monterey amid gale
A northwest gale in Monterey harbor stranded eight ships of the Atlantic fleet's second division. Illinois drifted toward the Alabama after parting its anchor chain, nearly causing a collision until helmsmen steadied it. Only the Alabama’s port gangway was torn away and Illinois later anchored 800 yards off. Liberty men crowded the shore as Monterey’s housing strained under demand. Judge Gray reiterates refusal to seek the Democratic nomination, stating he is out of politics.
