A special board of survey has been
appointed to pass upon the extent of
damage sustained by the American

bor. ON Saturday night, In badly Grip
Fled CONDITION. Arthur Berg, president
and manager Of the Bishop insurance
agency, and the island representative
for the American Bureau of Shipping,

expert in marine survey work in the

Glaudine. =. g. ~ ~
Upon the report submitted by Berg
and Macaulay will depend the future
disposal Of the damaged vessel. Ar
Iangements are now under way for
bringing the Robert Searles to Homo
lulu, where 1t is estimated that about
five hundred thousand feet of lun-
her must be discharged before the
vessel can go on the marine railway
for q. general repair. -Four masts
win have to be Installed, as three
sticks were entirely carried away,
leaving one stump from which a jury
sail was rugged. A new steering gear
will probably be fitted. r..
Berg and Macaulaye are expected to
return to Honolulu on Thursday
morning. It was stated today that
the owners carried a fair amount of
insurance upon the vessel. The hold
is said to have weathered the storm
in very good condition. At the time
the Claudine- sailed from the Maui
port, very little water was finding its
way into the vessel. The disabled
schooner will probably be towed to
Honolulu from Kahului by an Inter
leland steamer. q ,S .-- \ j..
