TRANSPORT A

AY OBODY was expecting the trans
on her way to Manila when she
was sighted early yesterday morning,
and least of all the Army quartermas-
ter's department here. Major Robin
sons department was up to its ears yes
terday TO provide for the needs of the
vessel as she will depart for the Phil
ippines tomorrow or next day.
There was pilikia in the engineers
department of the transport last Tues
day, and although heading direct from
San Francisco to Guam, cutting out
Honolulu from her itinerary, it was de-
cided to put into this port to have nee
esSary repairs made. 1t was discover
ed that a sheave on the low pressure
eccentric was damaged to such an ex
tent that shore aid was absolutely nee
esSary to insure a safe run through to
Manila. The vessel is now undergoing
repairs to her machinery, machinists
from the Honolulu Iron Works being
sent aboard soon after She locked. The
real extent of the damage has not been
ascertained, but it is thought to be
quite serious. However, by energetic
work it is thought everything will be
again in readiness to allow the trans
port to leave not later than Monday.
The Buford came into port early yes
terday morning, docking DIT Naval
wharf No. g. where she is now taking
on large quantity of COAL
The transport carries large num-
Der of passengers, composed for the
greater part of teachers for the schools
of the archipelago, civil engineers at
tached to the War Department, Army
nurses, Interpreters, hospital corps en-
listed men, wives and families of Off
GERS now in the Philippines. The Blu
ford will probably not make this port
again, as after leaving Manila she will
go to New York via the Suez canal
E. w. Astel, formerly purser of the
Buford, has been detached from duty
with the vessel, and is accompanying
ter, u. s. A, who is assigned to duty
