| the accident. 1t was thought that there
was still a chance of getting the
| schooner off the reef, and perhaps,
| saving her for years of usefulness
| The Eleu arrived at koloa on Thurs
| day afternoon, and at 4:3O O'Clock put
| a nine-inch hawSer on the surprise on
| the starboard bow. Tfiensthe tug start
! ed pulling and kept it up for over an
hour. NO good was done, however, ana
| the schooner was not moved an inch.
| 1t was found that the Surprise was
] hooked on the rocks. She had big
/ rock sticking up through her port side,
and the tug might just as well have
| tried to pun the reef out to sea as
| to get the schooner off. On Friday
| night the EIeu was compelled to run
| to HanamauIu for shelter. terrible
kona started to blow early on Friday
| evening and kept up all night and late
| into the next day. The Eieu had
dropped her anchor at koloa, and was
| intending to stay there all Friday
! night. She lost her anchor, however,
! soon after the kona burst upon usu-
; ally peaceful Koloa, and threatened to
go on the reef, or to smash into the
. steamer Hanalei, which was lying
there at the time. When the Eleu lost
her anchor she had to steam full speed
ahead to keep from going to her de-
| Struction.
| Captain HiIbus decided that the
weather was altogether too rough for
| the Eleus tender bones at Koloa, and
forthwith took his vessel to Hanamau-
| lu for shelter.
1t was a terrible run. and the cap
tain and the crew of the tug will never
forget it. 1t was one of the worst, if
not the very worst experience the old
tug ever went through.
All hands and the cook were up all
that eventful night. and there were mo-
ments when there was a substantial
doubt as to whether the Eleu would
pull through all right From west to
south came the furious wind, and great
waves We're heaped over the sides of
the tug, and she was buffeted and
banged about by the elements until her
old bones creaked and the crew NUT
:, tered mingled prayers and oaths as
they half expected her to seek her
grave in the deep.
But she pulled through all right, as
her presence at her slip today will
testify, and Captain Hilbus is more
than ever convinced that about the
best thing the Eleu can do is to stay
, around the harbor of Honolulu He
does not think that she is fit for trips
to the other Islands.
The Eleu sailed for this port from
Hanamaulu at $3.50. O'Clock on Saturday
| afternoon.
Before Captain Hilbus left Hama
: maulu he telephoned Captain Ward, or
the schooner Rosamond who went to
4
ting the Surprise off the reef. Captain
Ward informed Captain Hilbus over
the wire that the Surprise had shifted
: her position as the result of the storm,
and that she is now lying broadside
to the reef. She is still held fast by
the rocks, which have pierced her side,
; what is left of her. The storm was
fast finishing the work or making her
. d hopeless wreck. A large piece OF
: her bottom had been torn away, and
l. i.
been washed ashore at Koloa. There
are still a few bricks in the hold of
Va the Surprise. Most of the lumber
which was included In her cargo has
either been saved, or is floating around
in the water.
