Ferry Steamer Newark Breaks Down
and Is TOWed to Slip by Tugs
Liner Alameda Sails Today for Honolulu With
Big Passenger List

The Southern Pacific ferry steamer
Newark broke down yesterday morning
al $40 on its way from Oakland pier
and was helped into the slip at the
ferry depot about 9:20 by the tugs Sea
Queen and Sea Lark. The accident was
the breaking of strap connecting the
walking beam with the engine and it
occurred while the Newark was off Goat
island. The vessel was in no danger
at any time, but If the tugs had not
been near at hand It might have been
necessary for the Newark to have
anchored This would have meant seri-
Gus delay for the large number OF pas
sengers on board.
Ferry boats on the bay aEf all
equipped with anchors. and the force
chor just as effectively as IL does in
taking liners mudhook to the bot
tom. But IN the matter of heaving up
the anchor the ferry boat is at the
disadvantage of having only hand gear
with which to do the hosting. A ferry
boat can anchor in 10 seconds, but it
takes an hour or so TO get the mudhook
back again.
BY the time the Newark was in its
slip the broken strap had been re-
placed with spare one and the ferry
steamer resumed its regular schedule.
