York Sampsons flngahip had no
aotivo part whatever in the en
gigement Sho was between nine
and ten miles to tho eastward when
the battlo began and was just about
that far away when the Colons
Hag came down Tho oiedit for
the destruction of tho CDlon goes
chiefly to tho Oiegon
The chart at tho timo of the

out at sea
It was agiecd that the Oregon
dashed inside and ahead of tho
other Ehips at the beginning of the
fight kept along well in range of
tho enemy and was the chief factor
in tho destruction of tho Colon
