days IN which 70 effect the removal
OF the bark s. c. Allen from ifs bed
OF coral on the beach at Diamond
Head.
The contract called for the service
Of the dredge Gaylord which viii ex-

ton Of the sailing vessel. coupled
with the belief that the bark appears
10 have wifhstood the encounter with
the reef, led the Hawaiian Dredging
Company to ask for an extension Of
time.
Reports from the wreck received
this morning indicate that the Allen
has not been moved toward deeper
water. Several steel and manila lines
extending from the dredge TO the.
bark have parted as result Of the
terrific strain imposed upon them. A
large force Of men are constantly en-
ployed In. the attempt TO save the yes
sci and her cargo.
Some days ago the owners Of the
vessel and the cargo abandoned the
wreck In favor Of the insurance un-
derwr1ters, who at the present time
are In complete charge Of salvage op-
erations.

Company fail in the attempt to re-

auction to the highest bidder. Just
what figure the wreck would bring In
the present state is problematical. It

Unless the Hawaiian Dredging
Company succeeds IN its work Of
hauling the bark from the reef, It
stands to lose considerable sum
through the venture. The Gaylord Is |
estimated to be under an expense Of
between three and four hundrd dol !,
