board. Nevertheless. on the 9Th Of
last month the board renewed its ap-
plication through Capt. Clark, com
mandant Of the naval station at Pearl
Harbor. To date the commandment has
heard nothing from Washington that
VIII permit him to make a reply.
TO eliminate Pearl Harbor from the
possibilities virtually closes the Ques-
ton Of seeking some other asylum.
Honolulu and Pearl Harbor are the
only two landlocked harbors In the
islands. Nobody, to my knowledge,
has suggested that we tow these yes.
sells to Hilo or the Pacific coast, and
the difficulties and objections in the
path of such project are so obvious
that they seem unnecessary to discuss
In this letter.
I'VE settle. then, on "a choice of let
ting the vessels lie where they are or
anchoring them outside the reef. Let
US first consider their present position.
Two. OF them, the Pommern and the
Setos, lie at territorial wharves; the
others are berthed at private pier.
The question of jurisdiction obtrudes
at the outset.
Thus the question is further mar
rowed to what shall be done with the
two steamships, the Pommern and the
Setos. These vessels were disabled;
they cannot move an inch under their
own steam; they cannot even raise
steam, or IL they could they cannot
turn over their engines. If they remain
where they are there is no possibility
that they will become a greater men,
ace to navigation than they now con-
stitute lying mobile. But they may
be blown up, or sunk by opening the
sea cocks, or set on fire.
e"It is reasonable to take into ac-
count the probable action of the own
ers. They have no wish to destroy
their property for the pleasure Of do
ing themselves an injury. They hope
at some future date to have tse use
OF their property again. In Gripping
the engines they were actuated by a
desire to render their property use
less to possible enemy. That pur-
pose has been effected. There re-
mains no reason Why thet should be
blown up now. but If there did they
have been searched for explosives and
none found. Precautions to prevent
any from being taken aia,arsi :terea:Iec
are easy OF enforcement.
AS for scuttling, the Setos is
grounded now. If her sea cocks were
opened she might settle q few inches
farther into the mud, not more. The
Pommern, If filled and sunk, would
still rise high enough to leave her.
main deck 10 feet above water. Her
salvage would be a cheap and easy
Job.
From fire the menace Is not serf-
Gus. Both the Setos ana the Pommern
are steel freighters, with little aboard
to burn.
Incidental to the general situation
Is the fact that the vessels are now
paying full wharfage at the rate Of two
cents a ton for every working day, or
$3776.32 every month of rs working
days.
Weighing these dangers relatively,
it has seemed to the board that it was
unquestionabiy pursuing the right
course in deciding that the vessels re
main where they are, at the same
time protecting the harbor. insofar as
possible, from danger by exacting an
adequate bond"
