Manauense Yarn.
II the Manila correspondent who
sent the wonderful tale of the terrible
experiences OF the United States tran
sport Manauense on her voyage from
this port to Manila Is ever recognized
aboard that ship he will have tough
time of it say the officers. When
shown the story in one of the San
Francisco papers Captain Barneson
said
1T is a tale out of whole cloth.
The men whom we had on board were
entirely unused to travelling at sea.
Every wave was billow and n light
breeze was a tempest to them. The
story of the men having to work like
10 u,it CT mir N n
face Is all bosh. 1t Is true that our
pump, used to keep the ship free from
bilge water, broke and until 1t was
repaired a bucket brigade was organic
ed to get rid of the water. Our cleo
trio light plant also went back on us,
but we were amply provided with
lamps and so were but little incon-
venienced
at Yokohama, where our electric
plant was repaired, | asked for report
from Lloyds on the condition of the
ship. A survey was made and she was
reported in first-class condition. Had
she been in nearly the condition stated
in the Manila dispatches we would
never have lived through a real ty-
phoon, which lasted for four days dur
ing our return trip here"
Col Hays, who was in command of
| the soldiers on the Manauense. is not
spoken of in the highest terms by the
ships officers. They claim his author
ity over his men was very poor and
he seemed to have an idea that he was
king of some kind. The gentleman
in question is a son of eX-President
Hayes.
