high up on a coral reef Under the
direction of Captain Metcalfe and Cap
tain Pillsbury the big liner was foated
September l6 and towed into Homo
lulu, where temporary repairs were
made.
In spite Of the fact that few of her
bottom plates were intact. one of her
engines disabled and the other running
askew and driving a crumbied up pro-
!. peller, il was demonstrated on a trial
\ rip that the liners pumps were suf-
- cient 10 insure the bUoyancy of the
hull and that what was left of her
motive power gave her a speed of
about eight knots. 1t was decided to
steam her to this port. and October S
