SPRANG A LEAK

The schooner Lavinia sprang leak
off Diamond Head while on a voyage
to Lanai. The captain thought it pru-
dent to put back, although the pumps
were easily able to keep the water
down. She is now transferring her car
go to the Luka. The leak was well up,
as the vessel ceased to take in water
as soon as the deck load was removed.
