The cabins assigned to the Mauna
Kea officers and crew are in about ey-
cry instance severely affected by the
water. A clock in the Engineers
cabin indicated that II had stopped
at seven minutes after . O'Clock. Per-
sonal effects of these men are in most
cases ruined by the water, save in the
rare instances they were saved before
the vessel sank beneath the waves.

pleased at the success of the salvage
of his vessel. Mr.. Kennedy, as well
MS corps of faithful officials connect
ed with the company, have been la
boring under terrific strain for the
past two days and the raising of the
vessel brought deep-drawn sigh of
relief to all concerned in the salvage
of the Mauna Kea.
The steamer Is to go on the marine
railway again. This time particular
care will be taken to guard against a
repetition of the disaster of a few
days ago. The liner will be hauled up
the railway again, but this time Sc
ries of strong cables will also be used
as safety guard. 1t is predicted that
with the exercise of these precautions
| should the chain part, as 1t did last
week. tho cables will nrpypnt tho
liner from slipping down the runway
into the harbor.
1t is declared useless to venture a
prediction as to the length of time
that will be found necessary to place
the Mauna Kea in commission. but
| 1t is believed that the vessel will not
be idle for many days at the present
rate of progress made in her cleaning
and repairing.

Jumping Jack Tars,

The rhythmic jumping of $50 blue
jackets saved II. NJ S. Commonwealth
from the fate Of the Montagu when
she ran aground in a dangerous place.
The battleship Mcntagu was aban-
doned as hopeless wreck off the Cor
nish coast, but her sister ship the
Commonwealth, was safely got off by
the muscular exertion of her crew.
The Commonwealth ran on to an
uncharted rock when returning from
target practice, and was badly dam
aged. She was so nicely balanced in
her lodgment, however, that 1t was
decided, after reversing the engines
had failed to extricate her, to try the
experiment of mastering all the avail
able hands on the extreme aft. and
setting them to jump in unison. The
regular jumping Of twenty-five tons
of solidly-built seamen had the effect
Of making the huge vessel rock see
saw fashion until she gradually fioated
off with the rising tide. In fifteen
minutes she was aioat. and saved.
