and painted, and the last marks of
her duchng removed the Inter-lsland
steamer Mauna Kea was cautiously
hauled up on the marine railway last
night and this morning is safely es-
tablished there with one coat of paint
on her hull. 1t is now evident that
barring accident in the descent this
afternoon, the Mauna Kea will be
back in service and ready to make
her regular run on Tuesday none the
worse for wear and misadventure.
When the time came for the steam
err to go up on the drydock yesterday
afternoon there was quite a stir in
waterfront circles and the old salts
turned out in force to see how the
bottom had been affected by the re-
cent accident and also to watch for
further excitement. AS it happened
there was no particular difficulty in
getting the steamer up the incline,
except that the strong wind proved a
finally out of water it was apparent,
to the delight of the Inter-Island Off
cials, that there was not the slight
est damage to the steel shell or to
rudder and propeller. The work of
painting was begun this morning. A
second coat will be applied this aft
ernoon and the steamer will be put
back in the water this evening, ready
for action
The occasion for the break which
caused the accident last time was an
effort to take the steamer too higa
up on the ways. After the crib had
stopped moving it was decided that
the steamer was not high enough and
steam was applied for a second haul
when the break came. This time the
marine railway people were content
to get the Mauna Kea clear of the
water and let it rest there. They an
ticipate no trouble in getting her
back into the water this evening.
