On August 13, the Wateree was overhauling her engines when the ship trembled from stem to stern. The crew ran to the decks. The bay was unruffled but a cloud of dust and smoke was rising from the town. The amazed sailors saw the smoke lift and reveal scarcely
house standing.
A boat crew immediately started for shore and as thoy reached the water's edge, tidal currenta swirled in and twisted the Wateree, free
from her anchor chains. Daylight turned to darkness and the next thing those aboard the Wateree knew, the ship was lifted as by a giant hand.
The Wateree started moving to- ward land. Sandy water and foam swirled over her decks and a mo- ment later she emerged three miles up the coast and two miles inland. The Wateree was resting on an even keel against the side of a mountain with her port anchor and 100 fathoms of chain laid out intact,
Out of 285 man on board the Wateree, only one was lost. Ina- pection next day revealed that the tidal wave carried water to a height of forty-seven feet on the mountain side, 200 feet from the ship,
The Fredonia was crushed on the beach with the loss of all hands. The Peruvian · man-of-war WAR caught by the currents and driven far out to sea.
It was impossible to salvage the Wateree so her equipment was re- moved and her hull sold. Part of her guns were purchased by the Peruvian Government. - United
