THE MANIlA'S
ROUGH PASSAGE

The old Spanish transport Manila,
which spent a week in port here in
May, had a narrow escape from foun-
dering while on her way to the Coast.
When five days out from this port her
piston was completely shattered and
the little steamer was completely dis
abled. Repairs were at once COM
menced and only two days later a ter
rifle gale sprang up. Nearly every
thing on deck was washed away with
the exception Of the old heavy Spanish
cannon and the newly fitted American
siX-pounders.
Repairs We're finally effected by Chief
Engineer Elston, under great difficult
ties, owing to the fact of the terrible
rolling and tossing and TIE trouble the
navigators found in keeping her head
toward the storm. The engines We're
fixed up so she could make about q fifth
of her regular speed. Two days after
this she encountered another gale which
blew her far out of her intended course
and she was sighted by the Govern
men tug Slocum. making about two
knots an hour, headed for San Fran
cisco. The unadilla, navy yard tug,
took her in tow after docking and she
started for Mare Island for repairs,
and she may be entirely reconstructed
there instead Of at Bremerton, her des-
tinaton when she left here.

President Ena of the Inter- Island
Steam Navigation Co. puts no faith In
the report brought by the China con-
corning the Fannie Kerr. In the first
place he does not believe the vessel
sighted by the quartermaster is the
Kerr, though Captain Gibbons told him
a few days ago that the northwes;
wind was likely to blow the coal ship
in this direction. The mere fact that
no fire was seen by the lookout ia
enough to condemn the rumor in the
mind Of Mr.. Ena. who related yester-
day an incident of ship which caught
afire. having burned over a year In
any event he does not believe there
would be much chance of salvage
seeker towing the Kerr into port, and
the repairs 10 her would cost more
than would the construction of an en-
tirely new ship. And then the recon-
structed vessel, having a British bot
tom, would not be OF much value TO an
American firm.
