DOVE
IS WRECKED
SCHOONER THAT PUT IN HERE IN
DISTRESS LAST YEAR FINALLY
LOST OFF CHINA COAST.

Another American vessel well known
to Honolulu shipping people has been
wrecked on the Chinese coast. The
schooner Carrier Dove which put into
this port last year i'm distress, short
handed and leaking, is the latest boat
to cast her bones on the rocks off the
China coast.
News of the wreck was received in
the last mail from the Orient. The fol-
lowing brief account of the affair was
published in one Of the Japanese pa
pers
THE c. NJ. S Haean, which arrived
at Shanghai from Newchang and Che
foo on July 3rd reported fine weather
and light southerly wind. At 1918 q.
m, off Shaweishan, observed signals
and noticed shipw-ecked crew ashore
on the island. Anchored and sent boat
ashore and took off Captain and Mrs.
Jensen and nine men of the crew of
the American ship Carrier Dove. which
was wrecked on the bank north of
Tsungming. One man had been lost i'm
leaving the wreck on the night of July
1st."
Very few details of the wreck were
given. A mistake is made in the class
of the vessel. She IS said to be a ship.
AS a matter of fact, she is a schooner.
The Carrier Dove sailed from Vancou-
yer April 90 for Shanghai with general
cargo. She was evidently caught i'm a
heavy storm off the China coast and
beached.
The experience of the Carrier Dove
last year was quite dramatic. She was
going from South Africa to Port Town
send in ballast. More than half of her
crew were sick, one or more of the men
died during the voyage, and the vessel
was leaking. After repairing at this
place, she resumed her voyage to Port
Townsend.
The same morning that the Carrier
Dove appeared here, the schooner For
est Home also arrived in distress. The
Forest Home had been blown off to the
southeast while trying to go from Ha-
kodate to Yokohama. She arrived short
of provisions.
