MAUNA KEA GOES TOBOGGANING
lnter-Island Steamer Carries Away the
Marine Railway---Little Mail on
Siberia---Andrew WEIGH
Bumps Wharf.

When the Inter-Island steamer Mau-
ma Kea was half way up the ways on
the marine railway this morning the
huge hauling chain parted and the
steamer shot down into the harbor
with the marine railway cradle at top
speed. A number of men working on
and about the cradle narrowly es-
capped injury and the steamer came
out of the accident without apparent
damage, by the merest chance. When
the Mauna Kea came in this morning
she was taken over to the railway for
an overhauling and general cleaning
and the accident happened while she
was being run up on the ways The
marine railway is badly damaged and
at present the Mauna Kea is stuck in
the mud off quarantine island and two
tugs are making an effort to get her
off 1t is possible that some damage
has been done to the bottom if the
steamer has grounded on coral.
SIBERIA DUE MONDAY MORNING.
The Pacific Mail liner Siberia will
be in Honolulu about 1880 o'clock
Monday morning according to the lat
est wireless. She is bringing seventy
eight cabin passengers to this port.
$50 tons of cargo and thirty-two bags
OF mail This is an unusually small
consignment of mail and it may be
that the wireless operator referred
only to first-class mail or to that
which was to be taken off outside. If
the Siberia has only thirty-two sacks
in all, it is probable that the trans
port, which left on the same day and
will arrive here two days after the
Siberia, is carrying the second-class
matter.
ANDREW WEIGH CARRIES PAS.
sENGERs.
The Matson bark Andrew WEIGH
moved over from the railway wharf
last night to the Allen & Robinson
wharf and in backing into the slip
was given too much Roadway and
crashed into the stringers No dam
age was done the bark, but the heavy
timbers of the wharf were broken in.
The WEIGH will get away for San
Francisco on Monday with 1900 tons
of sugar and deck load of empty oil |
drums. Captain Kelly expressed the |
hope some time ago that he would |
be able to paint the cabin this voy-
age, but two passengers have already
been booked and the agents expect
others, so the skipper will not have
an opportunity to stow his boiled
shirts and get the blue flannel out of
camphor as he had planned
1t is likely that the Stanford and
the WEIGH will have to race for quar-
antine on Monday, for they are both
about ready to go and both hope to
be fumigated that day.
WATERFRONT NOTES.
The Robert Levers is at the fumi-
cation wharf today and will get away
for the Coast tonight.
The army transport Thomas is due
Tuesday or Wednesday from San
Francisco.
