vessel IS bow from the berth of coral
upon which it still rests. Today the
greater part of the forward freight
will be shifted to lighters-the barges
Mohcan and Pioneer probably being
secured. ms well as one or more of
Young Brothers craft-and this will
greatly facilitate the ANAL mighty at
tempt which will be made.
Transport Thomas May Come.
1t is possible that the u. s. A. Il.
Thomas, which is now in San Francisco,
may be hurried down here from the
Coast to take the large number of i'm
portant passengers and troops on to
the Philippines. No official confirma-
ton of this rumor could be secured
yesterday--in fact, no official ~ in
formation of any kind could be secured
but it is entirely within the pale of
possibility and was talked about along
the waterfront yesterday.
Manila Mail in Korea.
Over four hundred bags of mail for
Manila were taken from the hold of
the Logan yesterday, and, after consid-
cradle red.tape, were transferred to the
Pacific Mail liner Korea, which sailed
Mt $50 p. IN. 1t was necessary for the
four hundred odd bags of United States
mail to be taken from the transport
in a launch to the dock from there
to the Honolulu postoflce where it was
all checked over and inspected before
it finally could be taken on board the
Korea.
1t was expected that number OF
the high Army officials would take pas
sage ON the Korea for the Philippines
and the fact that they did not do SO
is taken as sign that, if the logan
is delayed here for very much longer
the Thomas will come. 1t is estimated
that it will be at least two weeks be
fore the Logan can leave this port
granting that she will be pulled off
| the reef tomorrow or this evening, as
, she will have TO be submitted to a
thorough examination and survey be
fore quitting Honolulu. This is re
quired, Notwithstanding the fact that
her damages will probably amount tC
little more than the scraping off OF
the paint on her bottom forward.
Sanders Still on the Bridge.
Captain Sanders, the pilot who wa;
in charge of the huge troopship at the
| time of her accident, has not left tn,
ship once since she struck. During thu
| dav he has been here, there and every
where, on the boat, giving orders
scheming and planning for the bes
way in which TO get the boat off tn
coral reef. He will make a report o.
the entire affair to Marston Campbell
| Superintendent of Public Works bu
| this will not be done until the Logal
slips backward from her position OF
Sumner Island. He will make no de
tailed statement, but it is understoo'
that he admits that the accident oc
Cured through his misjudgment an
that he places the blame for this o.
the bewildering number of light
which CLEAN along the inner water
front.
1t is more natural for a skipper t
keep bit away from a known dar

fatal error of Captain Sanders. 1t
