BROKE RUDOER
IN A STORM
THE SCHOONER EDWARD r. WEST
HAS A LIVELY TRIP HERE FROM
NEWCASTLE.

The American schooner Edward r.
West, Captain Dahler, seventy-eight
days from Newcastle with a cargo of
coal from ]. j. Moore for the Inter-Isl-
and Steam Navigation Co., arrived off
port at noon today. The vessel had a
very tough voyage and only the good
seamanship of Captain Dahler brought
the vessel in after encOuntering a seri-
Gus mshap.
Up to April 10th the West encounter
ed ordinary weather. Then a severe
gale came on. At the height of the
storm the rudder was broken. The yes
sci was in 80 degrees South latitude and
1862 degrees West longitude. As the gale
moderated Captain Dahler found his
rudder broken and a portion of it en-
tirely gone. 1t had broken about ten
| feet below the cap and had to be cut
away in order that planks might be cut
up and battened around it with heavy
iron bands. After two days work at
the waters edge under the stern of the
ship the Tudder had been repaired to
such an extent that the vessel could
| proceed slowly. In this E-anner, at part
| speed and steering partly with canvass
| the vessel reached Honolulu.
! Captain Dahler is of course very glad
TO be in port. Shipping men consider
/ that he performed a lively feat in bring
| ing the vessel in.
