Show Hospital Ship Relief Condemned. San Francisco, Sept. 5. The United States hospital ship Relief, which recently re-cently arrived here from Manila with a large number of siek and convalescent soldiers from Manila, will not again carry troops across the Pacific. The vessel has been condemned by the government gov-ernment inspectors at this port as unfit for use as an ocean transport. She is stated to stand so high above water as to be unseaworthy in a storm, and it is asserted that she could never pass through a typhoon in safety. |
