TREMENDOUS CASUALTIES IN WEST
COULD BURNED "ABLER" HAVE
 BEEN SAVED?

That the burned power schooner P. J Abler could have been salyed had Captain William Gregory of the U. s. lighthouse tender Kukui rammcd her yesterday afternoon when the Kulsui had the burning vessel near the Doug las island shores is the belief of local mariners. Captain Gregory had two reasons for not doing this. One was because the Kulyui was too far in- shore and the second was because the Kukui is a government boat and had the attempt failed Captain Gregory's judgment might not have been up- held at Washington.
 The tender Kukui is built of steel and her prov is unusually sharp. Along the waterfront-where the ex- perts are found-men said that the Kukui could have moved at half-speed at a few feet distant from the Adler. and could have torn a hole in her side which would have sent her the few feet to the bottom, without dan ger to the Kulni. It was estimated that Captain Gregory could have stopped the tender within a half-length of the vessel
 Should Have Seuttled shlp7
 Others blamed the crew for not having tried to chop 8 hole through the stern of the Abler. at the water. line. at any time between l and 9 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The crew declare this would have been impossi- ble. owing to the heat. and because the hull of the Abler is of oak. eight inches in thickness. The craft was built of hardwood because of the dan gers attendant upon cruises in Arctic ice. For fifteen years she withstood the dangers of the North. without serious mishap. although at several times she was damned by the ice.
 The first explosion of the distillate on the Abler-of which there was 5000 gallons-occurred shortly after 2 o'clock D. ID. The flames gradually ate their way forward. and the reports of exploding oil could be heard from
