Steamer Rosecrans To Again Go Into
Service.
The American oil tanker Rosecrans
which has figured in more than one
sensational episode in Honolulu har-
boz may yet play a return engagement
here in carrying fuel from the coast
10 the local plant OF the Associated Oil
Company.
The tanker which was swept by fire
ano torn by explosions at GaViota
some time ago, is now undergoing re-
pairs at San Francisco. The eXpiO-
sions which started the fire were con-
sidered to have been due to an accu-
mutation of gas i'm the vessels holds.
l. is said $4,000 will cover the loss.
The Rosecrans was built in Glasgow
in 1888 and launched as the Methven
Castle 1t was later purchased by the
United States government rechris-
tened the General Rosecrans and used
as a troopship during the Spanish,
American war. One of the Phoenix
park murderers, Carey the informer,
Who gave up to justice bis confed-
crates in the murder in Dublin Of
Lord Charles frederick Cavendish and
Thomas F. Burke, was killed on the
MethVen Castle near Capetown within
q few years after the launching of the
vessel.
For several years the Rosecrans
was operated by the Associated Oil
company as a tank ship, being CHAR
tered lately to the Union Oil company.
In a heavy gale at Gaviota, just pre-
vious to the recent disaster which
overlook the vessel the Rosecrans
dragged its anchors and went ashore.

shipyards. Some months ago the YES
sci scraped the rocks near KailuaI
and as a result several plates were
dented. To replace these the vessel
was obliged TO return TO the Union
Iron Works. The Kilauea was given
liberal supply of oil as fuel before
starting on the trans Pacific voyage
The time made by the little liner Oc-
casiOned considerable surprise among
local shipping men today.
The kilauea is to remain at San
Francisco for about ten days before
starting home. The vessel may be
given a general cargo to serve as bal |
