After other authorities had expressed

By c. Lindsay Campbell

EN the vernacuIar OF the sea ito
wreck" a ship means to save 1t, for
the same reason, probably. that a
sheet" is a rope. With the big
steamship Manchuria and the army
transport Sheridan each lodged on
coral reef in mid Pacific and the
memory OF the stranding and saving
OF the liner Alameda still fresh in the
memory. the discussion of wrecks and
wrecking is at this time a popular
pastime.
Probably around no other creation OF
the hands OF man does there gather
such real human interest as attaches
itself to a great ocean liner. When
the Alameda went ashore at Fort Point
the vessels misfortune aroused the
tender sympathy OF thousands. The
news of the disaster cast gloom over
Honolulu. where the personal interest
in the ship itself was OF a peculiarly
intimate nature When the Alameda
vas dragged from what had promised
O be her grave and 7oated once more
IN deep water the news Of her resur-
rection was received with a general
Joy that could have been prompted
by the saving OF no inanimate object
but ship.

was offshore now lies between the

between yeIls hugging stanchion or

There is still an anxious interval
until 1t is ascertained that the pumps
have control of the leaks. BY this time
powerful tugs are alongside their res
urrected sister and 1T is only matter
o time before the rock Scared liner is
safe in the drydock, which she will not
leave until every dentcd and torn plate
has been replaced by sheet OF perfect
metal
When the drydock gates close the
wrecker takes warm bath. crawls In
between the sheets and leaves word
Call me in about nine years.
Captain John Metcalfe Lloyd's sur
veyor. who is now directing the efforts
for saving the liner Manchuria, took
the Miowera off Hawaiian reef few
years ago. This was one of the notable
successes in the history of wreckins.
The San Francisco call., 1906-09-16
Personality of a Ship.

apart from the sentimental interest
that induces people who never saw the
sea to follow with eager solicitude the
fortunes Of a great liner or famous
YACHT there is a material interest in
the welfare Of floating property which
is by no means confined TO those con-
cerned by virtue Of ownership. The
loss Of an American ship is a nstional'
calamity and the occasion frequently
Of as much general grief as is evinced
at the passing of some great man. 1t
IS not necessary for the awakening of
this general sorrow that human lives
share the faith OF the ship. The in
terest is in the vessel itself and there
Is no story of more general interest
than an account of the saving OF some
ocean greyhound from one OF the many
traps with which the ocean highways
are beset.
The saIving or wreeking of great
liner is serious undertaking in this
part Of the world. where wrecking
plants such as they have on the At
lantic Coast and in the waters OF the
Old World are unknown. with the
means at hand. however, good results
have been accomplished. That such
has been the case is a tribute more
to the men who have directed than
10 the efficiency Of this COASTS wreck
ing equipment
One method Of taking a vessel from
the rocks was illustrated when. the
Alameda was saved and by somewhat
similar means the Manchuria and
sheridan may be restored to useful
ness.
To Captains A. F. Pillsbury and John
Metcalfe the credit is given for saw
ing the Alameda. They are both
thorough seamen and possessed OF that
faculty OF infinite resource peculiar to
ali true SaiIormen. Good Judgment,
knowledge Of what was necessary and
the ability to apply that knowledge
he'd more to do with saving the Ala
media than anything else and il is these
qualities in the men in charge of the
work that give the underwriters, the
owners and the world at large hope
that the Manchuria's career is not at
an end because she now lies stranded
and torn on a Hawaiian coral reef.
The First Necessity.
In wrecking big liner the first
necessity is a thorough understanding
Of the stranded hulrs position and con-
dition.
Careful soundings are taken all
around the vessel and from these
soundings a map is made Of the bot
tom on which the wreck rests. sound
ings are taken also from the wreck

grain, took fire In midocean. With her
iron hull red hot and the flames leap
ing high above her bulwarks. her mas
ter drove her over the reef surrounding
the coral island through the lagoon to
the sandy beach beyond. There she
was abandoned.
Some time later the underwriters Of
fered the wreck for sale and found a
purchaser in Captain l. N. Thayer OF
this city.
Taking with him one man and an
ancient and unreliable gasoline engine.
Captain Thayer reached the resting
place of his bargain about one year
after her hasty arrival at Manga Reva.
At Papeete he chartered schooner and
made q voyage of more than seven hun
dred miles n search of natives TO help
him in the task of wrecking the-wreck
With the aid of the gasoline engine
he pumped out the damp. still hot and
evil-smelling grain that had been the
vessels cargo. The engine worked by
