terry is on board the Sheridan with
Captain Humphrey.
The authorities do not allow any out
siders on board the ship. All news is
therefore second hand.
The landing of small boats from the
transport is exceedingly hazardous.
The sea is rougher than early this
morning.
The Sheridan has 5000 tons of Naga-
saki coal aboard.
The water all about the vessel is
made white by her pounding on the
coral Deep water seems to be all
round her exceIt in her center, where
she is hung on the coral.
The vessel did not strike hard, but
grated for a minute and then settled.
Engines were reversed Immediately ON
the touching of bottom, but not in
time to accomplish anything before
they were put out of business by the
breaking of the main steam pipe.
The Claudine has a line aboard. Al
1890 the Claudine also resumed pull
ing.

SALVING EXPERT SAYS THAT
THERE Is A FIGHTING CHANCE

There is a fighting chance that the
Manchuria can be pulled off" saId
Captain John Metcalf this morning in
a statement to a representative OF the
Star.
I'VE are now engaged continued
Captain Metcalf, in working about
the vessel in preparation for attempt-
ing to pull her off. l shall depend up
on pulling her off with the kedge an
chors Lying as the Manchuria does
in the open roadway, it is practically
impossible to dredge her out If how
ever there should come calm spell (
and it should be possible to use the
dredger to assist in the work we will
certainly do so. We will have how
ever to watch our chance in this re-
spect.
1--WE will jettison the coal. The car
go is being removed. Her tanks have
| been pumped full of water IN order to
! keep her steady. / do not know at the
/ present time the extent of the dam
! age to her hull. Undoubtedly the hull
has been damaged and one frame has
been broken, but l have learned prac-
! tically nothing beyond what is in
dicated by what has been done to her
| boilers. The diver will not be sent be-
low to examine her hull but he Is to
work about the vessel for the purpose
of ascertaining the character and the
conditions of the bottom where she
rests, She appears to be humping on
rock aft, in the neighborhood of the
shaft alley. If it be found possible 1
will use light charges of dynamite to
blow out the rock so that the vessel
can settle in the cradle she has appar-
} entity worked and can rest easily.
1T will be necessary to tighten the
vessel 1t will be a ticklish job to keep
her up, but / think we will be able to
do so with the aid of various anchors.
1t will be necessary to move all of the
anchors that have been placed; they
were simply placed temporarily. 1t
will be necessary to place them at
, greater distance from the vessel than
, they are at the present time.
IF 1 did not consider that there was
a chance of saving the vessel, I would
certainly not be wasting my time here.

done 1 have just engaged the dredger

For The
Sheridan
Are Bad
SHE HAS GROUNDED IN VERY
BAD SECTION OF COAsT-MANY
ROCKS AND CORAL OFF POINT.

From the statements of seatarng
people acquainted with the coast about
Barbers Point, the Sheridan lies in
quite a bad position. The coral is of
a very hard character while many
rocks are along that part of the coast
The reef extends a considerable dis
tance out from shore. The impression
seems to be that there is no danger of
the vessel sinking in deep water Bar
ber s'Point also extends into the sea-
1t is the place where vessels change
their course to make the harbor of
Hor olulu.
The Sheridan is not constructed near
ly SO staunchly as the Manchuria now
on the other side of the island, and as
the Sheridan is thought to be on a
much harder bottom than the Manchu-
rit,, the transport seems likely 70 show
signs OF buckling long before the Pa

TO The DEMOCRAT READERS.

After having guided the course
of the Democrat for over twenty
years, since March 1886, most
of the time as sole owner and edi-
tor, | have naturally a feeling of
regret to part with my readers,
more especially W it'll the many
warm personal frien0S who have
shown their loyalty to this paper
during all these years. But bust
ness considerations, and a feeling
that near a quarter of a century
has been long enough for man
to run in one never ending rut,
growing deeper year by year and
therefore harder to pull out of,
have caused me to dispose of my
financial interests in the paper to

1t really is not a question of
majoritles, for it is not a question
of partisanship. The issue is be-
