tries found they had something to do
in handling crowds, for the first train
from the city in the forenoon brought
crowds of people eager to see the
chaos which had faced them in The
Advertiser, whose half page cut of the
wreckage was pronounced one of the
finest bits of newspaper illustrations
ever shown in the community.
The sentries stretched ropes to keep
people from going too close to the
edge of the basin, while all cameras
and there were plenty of them-were
confiscated temporarily. Only those
cameras for which permits had been
given were allowed on the reservation.
A moving picture man, who had only
taken a panorama of the dock and the
drib work a few days before was al
lowed to reset his camera and take a
panorama from the same position, but
what different picture was recorded
on his films! Admirals Cowles and
Moore and several other officers were
caught by the eye of this moving
camera, and the picture so taken will
soon be shown on the mainland.
Admirals Took Chances
Rear Admirals Cowles and Moore
made thorough inspection, each GO
ing nimbly in and out of the wreckage
taking chances where some of the
structure they walked upon was weak
Admiral Cowles expressed the opinion
that the concrete mixture-that of the
new formula-held fast. From what
he could learn it was not the concrete
which gave way but the whole bottom

ENGINEER GAYLER, u S. N,
o yesterday
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1913-02-21

Naval and contracting engineers are
undaunted by the catastrophe to the
Pearl HarbOr naval station drydock on
Monday, and are optimistic in their
reports as to the possibility for future
work that may be carried on in the
same site. Beneath the chaos of wreck
age which jams the entire lOOO'foot
basin, divers wormed their way yester-
day in sections . and and their re-
ports of the condition of the bottom
were such as to cheer the navy officials,
and inspired them with the belief that
hope need not be given up for the re-
clamatiOn of the undertaking. They now
assert that the dock can and will be
built.
One of the first moves yesterday on
the part of the contractors, whose en-
tire crib plant is buried beneath the
wreckage and waters, was to reduce
the payroll. A large force of men was
laid off, the period of release from SER
vice being uncertain. Only a sufficient
force will be retained to salvage as
much as possible of the wrecked plant.
1t is probable that mass of the timber
work will be sent to the mill for re-
saving and reshaping, while much will
become kindling wood. The task of
clearing away the wreckage will be
enormous, but will be under way in a
short time, as soon as the naval au-
thorities have concluded their initial
inspection above and below the sur
face.
Admirals and Engineers Busy.
Civil Engineer Gayler, U. S. N, who
has been in charge of the naval end
~of the work on the dock with Engineers
Kirby Smith and Bostrom as his assist
ants, was at the dock site all day yes
terday, watching the operations of the
divers Among others who keenly ex'
amined the wreck were Rear Admiral
w. C. Cowles, commandment of the Ho'
nolulu and Pearl HarbOr naval stations
and Rear Admiral c. b. L. Moore, who
is soon to assume command of both
stations.

cat first we started to build the
dock without piling foundation. Then
we found the concrete had to be placed
under water. The second big change
was the requirement for Puget Sound

board to the mutual satisfaction of all
concerned.

Contractor +. b. Smith, whose feel
ings in the matter can very well be un.
derstood, is just as goodnatured as
ever, and he has proven himself a man
of iron in this great catastrophe.
"There is no question as to the cause
of the failure. ! am satisfied the cause
of the failure is due to the squeeze and
upheaval of soft material, under the
coral and concrete. What hydrostatic
pressure there was is not important.
The concreted bottom was well laid and
it carried the accumulated pressure.
"Of course, 'squeezes' of this nature
are not uncommon in great engineering
works. Take the Culebra cut, for in

upheavals and squeezes in that cut, but

Case of Keeping On
: Engineer f. B. Smith, known gen
orally as "Drydock" Smith, who sur.
mounted difficulties in the Mare Island
dock, faced defeat there and elsewhere
but conquered, is undaunted.
''Why not take it philosophicallyq'
said he. at s just a case of keeping
