Trouble Begins Directly After Leaving Diamond Head
Several Passengers Severely Injured Rare Heroism
of Officers Insurance Claimed for Total Loss.
By the ship 0. W. Bryant, nows
is recoiral of tin nrrival of tho
stentner Oity of 0 dumbia at Hilo
in distress. According to tho state
ments of fact tho steamer,
af'or leaving Honolulu last
Saturday, plunged into a "sea
of troubles" which made all her
previous ill fortune appear alto
gr-thor iusignificaut in comparison.
Early-risors in Hilo Wednesday
raorniug wero surprised to seo
what appeared to bo a strange
steamer enter tho harbor anddron
auchor. It was not until a couplo
of hours lator that tliny saw it was
tho Oity of Columbia, which had
returned to Hilo
At uitie .o'clock Captain Milnor
camo ashore and gavo a statement
toaroprcsentativoof the Bulletin.
In speaking of tho bravery and
eoolnosB ol the mou ho was visibly
affected. A summary of tho cap
tain's story as published by the
Hawaii Herald in given below:
Tho Oity of Columbia loft Ho
nolulu on Saturday, October 29, at
10:15 a. m., and experioncodTionvy
weathor directly she cleared JJia
motid Head. That night the feed
pump bocarao disabled and tho
steamer ,had to stop for repairs.
Theso wero accomplished and the
stenraor resumed her voyage. On
Sunday morning nuother pump
gavo way and again tho steamer
stopper! whilo repairs were boing
mado.
" All this timo," says the cap
tain, "tlioro was a heavy soa run
ning accompanied by a strong
easterly swell. Tho vessel was
headed N. by E. E. and a etrong
northeast trndo blowing. Tho
stenraor rolled aud pitched nnd
piisaengora woro tossed about like
leaves. It was impossible for tbo
malo passengors to walk on deok;
tbo ladios ware kept in their
rooms. Ouo of tho firemen was
thrown down while at his post and
had HHVoral ribs fractured.
"Then, amidst this rough timo,
came tho'duu announcement that
tho steamer was taking iu water
aud tho pumps were put to work.
On Monday thoro wai a continu
nnco of tho bad weather, nnd an
oflicer ropurted a sonm opened
amidships, tho steam pipes strain
ing nnd steam escaping from
oponing joints."
Captain Milnor wont into tho
ongine room aud found that water
was streaming over the cemont
places on tho sides of the room

had brokon looso from tho comont

to other parts of the steamer.
"In tho stern," he says, "I found
soven stieams of water from six to
eight inches wide nnd about otto
inch iu thickness, pouring through
tho nniidsuips senm. Another
stronm, 12 inches wide, mado its
way iuto tho fire room."
Captain Milnor called a consul

cided impossible to reach Cape

were discussed as points to run to,
on account of hotter weathor to be
oxpeo ed, but the ongiuoars insist
ed that tho condition of the steam
pipes mado tho journey imprneti
cnblo. Honolulu wa9 given up on nc
count of the direction of the wind
nnd sea. Then the advisability
of making tho nearest land point
nnd beaching tbo vesHOl wns sue
gosted, but Captain Milnor felt, as
master of tho vessel, that it was
his duty to reach a port if possi
