What Chief Engineer Ford Did
With the BROOKLYN.

Mr.. Ford, the new chief engineer OF
the U. S. F. S. Baltimore, served late
ly with the showy white ship the
Brooklyn, which was sent abroad to
take part in the Queen Victoria jubilee
festivities. Admiral Miller, now at
this station, was also with the Brook
lyn. Of course the ship from the States
had lots of visitors. The guests were
shown the guns, construction, ETC., and
were greatly pleased. One day, with
a half hundred titled officers from
other ships aboard, an exhibition of
the Brooklyn's engining was given.
She has two forward and two aft
There was shown what would be done
in case of accident to the engines in
use. The supposition for the show was
that the aft engines had become dis
abled. In just 43 seconds Mr.. Ford
and his men had made all necessary
changes and had the ship moving with
the aid of the forward engines. All
the foreign papers made much of the
incident and the American papers had
long cable accounts of it. Mr. Ford has
come to the station here to succeed
Chief Engineer Kirby, who returned
to the States on account of illness.

size and the Captain called for a
hawser. He did not even wait 10 get
ours but took one of his own, made
fast and towed us TO Honolulu"
Captain Greenleaf bestows the great
est praise on Captain Andrews for the
promptness of his action in coming to
the assistance OF his ship. Laden
though she was with sugar and being
a boat unfit for the work of towing,
Captain Andrews nevertheless turned
about at the first appearance of the
signals of distress and did his duty
like a man. There were but two or
but action was prompt.
Captain Greenleaf says he was in
such plight on Friday night when
he sighted the first steamer that had
the wind shifted one point he and the
whole crew would now be numbered
with the dead for, in such an event,
the rocks at Makapuu Point would
have claimed them.
On Saturday morning a chain plate
parted and struck Captain Greenleaf
full in the back of the head. 1t was
several minutes before the skipper re-
gained consciousness and he considers
himself fortunate that he came to at
all.
AS the Lehua was towing the Arago
into port, Captain King went out on
the tug boat to render assistance but
Captain Andrews told him he could
manage the ship himself.
In regard to repairs, nothing what
ever will be done to the Arago until
her owners are heard from. In the
meantime she will lie in the stream
1t is believed that the sugar in the
hold of the ship has suffered no dam
age whatever. No leaks were sprung
and the decks are perfectly tight.
The Arago has certainly had her
share of misfortune 1t will be re-
membered that when she came into
port on January 4th, topgallant mast
and head of the fore topmast were
gone. These were lost on the night of
November 30th, 1897, when a tremen-
dous sea boarded the ship She was
then bound for this port from West
port, n. Y.
