KEA CUTS
GANGPLANK IN
TWO AT HILO

Although Kuhio wharf al Hilo is
claimed to be safe for vessels. 1t was
learned today from Inter-lsland
sources that the Inter-Island steamer
Manna Kea last Friday broke her
lieavy gangplank in two as if it were
e lath when she was ranging at the
wharf In the grip OF an undertow, al
though there was hardly any wind
and the bay was apparently calm.
The gangplank's base is formed OF
four pieces OF 2 by IL plank, and its
sides are of 4 by lumber. The gang
plank was extended from side port
and running on rollers so that 1t had
plenty OF play for any motion OF the
ship towards or out from the wharf.
The undertow, however, caused the
ship TO range back and forth parallel
te the wharf with the result that the
gangplank was cut squarely in two as
II By a huge pair Of shears when 1t
was wedged by the ranging.
That the wharf is dangerous when
ever the wind Is coming from any di'
rection between west and north is
claimed by seafaring men and mast
ers Of vessels having TO use ii. They
say that even a light wind from these
points creates current which makes
vessels tied up to the wharf range
dangerously. Whether this current
will be checked by the completion of
the Hilo breakwater is a question
which cannot be answered until the
job is completed. The interisland
claims il is not safe for the Mauna
Kea or any other vessel to lie along
side the wharf when the wind is in
the west, regardless of whether the
weather Is fair. Steamers cannot lie
in safety at the wharf when the wind
is TO the west, sea captains assert,
ID is possible, according TO a Homo
lulu shipping man who has studied the
situation carefully, that another
may have to be erected to
break up and change the course of the
current which now causes vessels ly-
ing at the wharf to range when the
wind is coming from any point be.

vailing winds at Hilo are the northeast
