such a nature that 1t cannot be prop
erly remedied at this port, and the

Obliged to go to the Coast for repairs
after temporary patching has been
made here,
After the Helene was towed here
from Hilo by Wlder's steamer kaiu-
lani, she discharged most Of her cargo
at the Channel wharf and was then
put on the Marine Railway for repairs
to her rudder step.
No blame is attached to the officers
of the Helene on account of the in
Jury. The damage to the rudder step
was the merest accident, and could not
have been foreseen, or very well
avoided. The impression Of the rock,
which did the damage at Laupahoehoe,
on her rudder step, goes to show this
to be the case, very clearly. 1t is
said that had the vessel been few
inches further ahead, or had she not
pitched so low by half an inch in the
swell, she would not have received any
injury - ~.
Her rudder step, as it is, is badly
bent, and the work of Strengthening il
out will be an expensive and delicate
matter
Yesterday it was decided that 1t
would be necessary to send the steam
er to San Francisco. Just as soon as
rudder can be improvised which will
enable the Helene to make the trip
without risk or danger, she will be
paired at the Union Iron Works. SD
next week. The Helene is to be re-
pired at the Union Iron Works. Su-
perintending Engineer William John
son, of Wilders company, will go up
to the Coast with her.
