WHAT THE CLAUD1NE DID
Story of Collision As Told by Captain
of the Steamer.
With Contlouad Calm Weather Wreck of the
Carson Will Be Saved - Dredger Pump
Brought Into Action Dlsmintllng.
The stenmer Cluudlno at rived In
port this morning and shows no marks
ot her recent collision with the bark
ontlno Wllllnm Carson. President t
L. Wight of the Wilder Steamship Co..
state' that Captain Wclsbarth, who
wob In command of the Claudlnc nt tho
time of tho accident, made the follow
ing report: Shortly nfter 8 o'clock ho
had gone below to attend to some ne
cessary duties, leaving the second
mate In chargo of tho bridge. Ho had
been below but n short time when ho
heard his vessel glvo ono blast of the
whistle. Rushing on deck tho second
mato said to him: "There Is n steam
er ahead nnd I hnvo put tho wheel
hnrd.astnrboard." Tho captain, look
ing forward, saw the green light of i
sailing vessel Immediately ahead, but
too lato to prevent tho catastrophe.
Details of the collision hao nlieady
been given by tho Bulletin, how tho
Carson turned on her beam ends but
did not sink.
Tho Carson Is now anchored In
about ten fathoms of water off Kakna
ko, being held by two anchors placed
In position by tho steamers Maul, Kl
nnu nnd I.lhun yesterday. She Is in n
pretty safo position today nnd only the
Mnui nnd Lchua are standing by.
Tho chances of savins' tho vessel are
very favorable as tho water Is ery
smooth, nnd the latest plan of rcmov
Ing her cargo nnd righting her r.ocmj
feasible. The largo miction pump con
nected with tlio dredger Is to bo towed
out to the wreck, tun -unction hoso
placed in tho hold through the open
hatch and what roinnins of tho cargo
ot coal will bo drawn out on bnrgos.
Thus lightened tho rigging will be cut
and tho masts pulled out, tho vckrcI
will rlghtcn with hardly any assist
ance, and can then bo towed Into port.
Tho work will probably commence to
morrow. .

(Movements of the Liners.
The Hongkong Mnru Is expected to

Perilous Trip of tbe Hongkong Han

age to tbe Vessel.
Tho T. K. K. steamer Hougkom;
Marti, came Into port yesterday from
Yokohama with C2C Japanese, 0 Chin
ese and 588 tons of general merchan
dise for Honolulu. She docked ns
usual nt the Pacific Mali dock, where
the work of taking on 500 tons ot coal
nnd discharging her cargo Immedi
ately commenced. The cargo wr.
placed In the fumigating room as
rapidly ns landed, everything havin,-;
been arranged In anticipation of her
arrival.
The officers of tho steamer report
tho roughest passage that tho Hong
kong Muni has ever had from Yoko
hama to Honolulu. Leaving Yokolia-,
ma December 20rbad weather was en"
countered from almost the first day
out. It blew a continued gale, which
at times amounted to nlmost a hurri
cane, seas dashed over tho vehscl nnd
for a time tho ship was compelled '
lay to. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon t
of December 24, six Japanese uailon
were forward making all fast on the
bowbpiit when a huge wavo dashed
completely over tho bow nnd carried
ono of the men overboard, and In n few
minutes ho was far astern; being n .
flue swimmer, however, ho managed to
keep afloat. Tho steamer slowed down
us Boon as possible and u boat lowered
and manned by eight sailors, who set,
out to tho rescue. Kiilly half an hour
clapbed from the tlmo of hlS'gbln-;
overboard until tho boat got anywhere
near him, nnd apparently cxhasusted
by the struggle he xnnk befoie 'help
could reach him.
The boat had n haid tlmo getting
back to tho steamer and tho men wero
pulled on board completely worn out.
Just In time, as the sen struck the boat
carrying It under tho shlp'a counter
and It was not seen again. Tho lost Bail
or was an old employe of the company
and wns one of their most rcllnblo
men.
The bad weather continued to bo
something fearful, seas breaking over
tho vessel continually. The wooden
shutters on tho windows of tho upper
deck cabins, on tho port side went
smashed In by a wnvo that swept over
tho ship, nnd on December 2G, the bow
sprit was carried nway. Ono day 10a
knots wns the most recorded and an
other day only 170 knots.
The bad weather continued until
within a day of Honolulu nnd was
