In order TO get the propeller shaft out

thought possible that divers can compass
the job of fixing the new blades.
To tip the ship pontoons will probably

however, declared last night that sucI

such is not the case, the transport may
be detained in port Indefinitely.
The naval people have nothing TO do
with the transport matters which belong
to the United States Army Transport
Department, of which Captain William

only capable construction man in town
at present is said to be Carpenter PEN

B Manila before breakfast yester-
day morning and atout' o'clock
in the afternoon was sighted coming
back. Much speculation was rife as to
the cause of her return, and 1t was at
first thought that it was because she
was leaking, for when she arrived here
on Wednesday, she was taking consid-
cradle water from a crevice in the
stern gland packing.
When the Warren docked about 4
o'clock at the Naval wharf it was
learned that the cause of her return to
port was of a much more serious ma
ture than had been anticipated.
After the transport had proceeded
about two hours on her way yesterday
morning it was discovered that she had
lost blade of her propeller This
wouldn't have interfered with her prog
ress had !. not been for the fact that
during the trip from san Francisco she
also lost a propeller blade aGd this,
with Yesterdays loss, rendered her
we'll nigh helpless.
The Warren mas on board 995 souls, all
told, including 402 men of the Second
37S casuals and recruits. With the pros
pect of a lengthy stay in port the ques-
tiCn of accommodating The troops on
shore was given immediate attention,
and shortly after sundown the men Were
marched to the parade ground III front
of the drillshed, where tents were p-.ch

the night, as every now and again

the bar. The launch was returning from
the bark Kaiulani and those on board
noticing the japanese cl:nging to their
overturned boat which was whirlins
about in the wild waters, she was seat
10 the rescue.
The Iroquois crused about until S
o'clock and during that time sighted
two sampans anchored quite way Eva
of the harbor mouth. She bore down on
them, but they did not need assistance,
and the tug therefore returned. A little
later on the government tug Eleu. not
to be outdone by the Iroquois in the
matter of life-saving, started out to do a
little rescuing on her own account and
spying the two boats which the Iroquoi=
had first left went over to them and
rescued them in spite Of themselves, tow
T ing them 20 port in triumph.
While the two tugs were chasing glory
and honor on the salty deep with vary
ing degrees OF success, the Young boys
swept the horizon with their glasses and
spotting a sampan in evident distress,
gallantly put out in one of their launches
and arrived on the spot just as the frail
craft was overturned and its two occu-
pants thrown fnto the seething water.
The rescuers managed to haul the unfor-
tunate Japanese on board. and also, with
the greatest of difficulty, to tow the over
turned sampan into the harbor.
Late last night it was reported that
two more boats with seven Japanese on
board were still out, and it is probable
that a search for them will be made this
morning.
