claaIfia, now steaming across the Pa
cific for Honolulu and due to arrive
hofe on next Wednesday morning, Is
known to have received considerable
damage while maneuvering to keep
cI6xf of other vessels. Advices re-
ceiVed here nov state that the Man.
clsIria hit on the bottom at Nakasah
harbor prior 10 the departure from
that port for Manila. The impact was
plainly felt throughout the great ship
and some of the more timid passen-
gers expressed decided alarm as to
their safety aboard the vessel. In
this connection much praise has been
heatowed upon Captain Andrew Dixon,
niaHter OF the Manchuria. In the opin-
ion OF many outward bound passen-
gers had II not been for the cool and
calculating work on the bridge, one
of the mammoth Pacific Mail vessels
might at this minute be resting on
the bottom OF Nagasaki harbor.
