MORNING STAR RETURNS.
Owing TO the Ieaky condition of the
ship and the lack Of sufficient coal to
operate both the pumps and the mo-
tive power, the steamer Morning Star
was forced to put back for Honolulu
when some 500 miles at sea en- route
for Seattle The steamer arrived off
port yesterday afternoon ar 2 O'Clock
and steamed 10 her old place at the
dock shortly after, the port physician
deening it unnecessary to make any
examination.
The missionary steamer bade fare
well 10 this harbor on Tuesday last
clearing for Seattle. where the vessel
was TO have been offered for sale. The
weather conditions were most faS ora
Die and the first day out the vessel
steamed $50 miles The second day
only 120 miles were made and less than
this on Thursday. On Friday morning
Engineer Donaldson reported to Cap
tain Garland that It would be danger
being aleak and making as much as
eighteen inches OF water an hour. To
handle this he had had TO employ much
OF his power for the pumps and con-
sumo large quantities Of coal. The
leak had been found within an hour or
two Of the vessels sailing, but Donald
son had gone on in the hope OF the
hull Tightening up Instead of lessen
ing, however. he found that the Leak
ing was getting worse and that with
the extra demand on the coal there
would not be enough for the vessel 10
reach Seattle or even San Francisco
Orders were accordingly given by
Captain Garland TO return to Honolulu,
where repairs could be affected. The
leak Is at the stern Of the vessel and
in addition 10 this the captain reports
that there had been slight accident
TO the engines, which will require re-
pairing before the steamer puts to sea
again.
On her return trip the Morning Star
encountered strong trades and some
rough weather. Early yesterday morn
ing when off the windward side of the
island. a rain storm came up. accom-
panied by gusts of fog. making the land
invisible when ten miles out. This was
commented on by the crew at the time.
Captain Garland clubbing II 'Manchu-
ria weather" as it was in such weather
that the big liner drove ashore While
in the channel Captain Garland noted
the entire absence Of any currents
Just what viii be done in the way Of
repairing the steamer and starting her
off for the Sound again cannot be told
as yet. 4 consultation between Cap
tain Garland and ". ". Hall. the
agent. VIII be held today and Il may
be that advices from the owners in
Boston VIII be awaited before anything
Is done
C0LLIDES WITH DOCK
The Inter-Island steamer Likeliks
poked her nose into the Oceanic dock
yesterday morning. smashing through
one Of The big stringers and splintering
some OF the planking. Incidentally she
narrowly missed doing serious damage
to the rug Fearless. which was lying
al the dock, being swung around IN
time TO avoid hitting the tug fairly
but giving her a glancing blow in pass
ing that put a deep dent into the iron
guard band at her stern.
The accident occurred as q result OF
a mistake n the signals in the engine
