COLUMBINE GETS
IN NTROUBLEBY
MAKING RESCUE
Lighthouse Tenders Propeller
is FouIed BY Cable From Dis
tressed British Yeoman

At 3:15 this afternoon the Column
bine, which wireIessed for help, was
reported to have lost the British Yeo-
man, the lines having parted is miles
south OF NawiIiwili. At that hour
both the naval tug Navajo and the
Coast Guard cutter Thetis were out
to render assistance. The WaiaIeIe,
which left here at 1880 yesterday to
render aid, has not reported in. Pre-
vious TO having started 70 tow the
Yeoman, the Columbine cleared her
fouled propeller.
Late this afternoon the Inter-IsIand
Company received the report that the
WaileIe had taken shelter at NawiIi-
will.
That the bark British Yeoman is
safe. but that in hauling her to safety
the lighthouse tender Columbine foul
ed steel towing cable in her propel-
Ter, and has herself been placed in
danger, is the gist of advices received
by radio this morning by Alexander &
Baldwin from Port Allen.
Rushing to the Columbine's assist
ance from Honolulu is the U. S. navy
tug Navajo, which leiI here at 8
O'Clock this morning as if fiends were
after her, and bucked the seas at the
harbor bar until all that was visible
of her was her funnel, until she head
ed in the direction of Kauai
This afternoon an inquiry as to
whether the Wailele and the British
Yeoman had arrived here yet was
received by the Star-Bulletin from
Lihue. This leads to, the belief that
the Wailele is towing the bark to
this port. The Inter-Island and Alex
ander & Baldwin both said this may
be possible. although the Wailele has
no instructions to bring her here.
Before the Columbine was render
ed nearly helpless by her propeller
fouling. she was able to tow the Brit
ish Yeoman away from her threatening
position and moor her fast to moor
ing buoys placed by the government.
Help In Nick of Time.
Help came to the British Yeoman in
the nick of time. Just before the Co
lumbine reached her the last of her
lines carried away, so that had there
been no assistance present the bark
would surely have crashed on the
rocks and been total wreck
President ]. A. Kennedy of the In
tel-island said this morning the Wal
lele. which left here yesterday after
noon with wrecking gear to assist the
British Yeoman, will help the Colum-
bine and keep her from drifting
ashore
That the British Yeoman is leak
ing badly and much battered because
of the waves which have been pound
ing her, also that she has no anchors
left, was stated in the radiograms re-
ceived by Alexander & Baldwin today.
These said it is now believed possible
most of the schooner Prosper's cargo
of coal may be saved The schooner
only had 200 tons on board when she
drove ashore, the rest having already
been discharged.
