COLUMBIA IN DISTRESS.
Steamer Back IN HilO in a Grip.
pied Condition.

News reached this city Yesterday
from Hilo that the S. S. City OF Column
bia had put into port there in a Grip
pied condition. The Columbia left this
port October % and experienced heavy
weather during the trip to Hilo. The
first night out ON the voyage for Seat
tie, the feed pump became disabled and
the steamer stopped to repair the brok-
en- parts. The next morning another
pump became disabled and again the
vessel stopped for repairs. There was
heavy sea running, accompanied by a
strong swell. The steamer rolled and
pitched so violently that it was impos-
sible for the passengers to walk on
the decks. One of the crew, a fireman.
was thrown down and several of his
ribs were fractured. 1t was discovered
about this time that the ship was TAX
ing in water and it became necessary
to put the pumps to work. Monday the
weather continued rough and one Of
the officers reported a seam opened
amidships and the steam pipes strain
ing and steam escaping from opening
joints. Upon investigation the engine
room was found TO be filling with
water, and the boilers had broken loose
from their foundations. Capt. Minor
called a consultation of the officers and
it was decided that it was impossible
to reach Cape Flattery with the boat
in such a crippled condition and the
captain decided to put in at Hiio. The
watertight bulkheads in the lower hold.
separating the boiler and engine rooms
from the fore and aft compartments of
the ship tore loose through incesSant
straining until spaces two inches wide
opened up on either side.
Capt. Minor asked for a survey Of
the steamer by the board of underwrit-
ers. \ board has been appointed al
HilO and has gone to work and their
report will be sent TO Capt. Fuller here
as soon as it is complete. The vessel
is insured for 1925, 200.
Russell Colegrove, one of the parties
who libelled the steamer shortly after
she arrived in this port. was seen last
night and says:
That when the Columbia left last
Saturday ne advised Capt. Minor TO
take at least 500 tons of ballast. as it
would not be safe to start out with any
less; that the ship had only 500 tons
when she left port and was wholly
unprepared to go to sea. Mr.. Colegrove
says that it is impossible for the bulk
heads TO give way. There is mystery
in making for Hilo. as with an easterly
breeze, Honolulu would have been the
first port naturally, and there are re-
pair facilities here.
