MORNING STAR IN DISTRESS.
The steamer Morning STAR, which
was bound from Honolulu for Seattle,
put in at this port this afternoon ow-
ing to the stanchions under the boilers
having been carried away. The vessel
was some distance north of this port
when she ran into heavy weather that
caused the vessel to leak, and in the
pitching and rolling of the vessel the
stanchions of the boilers carried away
and the attempt to make the Sound
had to be abandoned. The vessel was
ordered to the quarantine station to be
fumigated.
The Morning Star was formerly
missionary schooner and was being
taken to Seattle to be sold. The YES
sci is hardly fit to go to sea, and when
she first started from Honolulu she
sprung a leak and was compelled to
return to the island port. The pumps
were repaired and the voyage resumed.
