Show 'fliC TROOPSHIP RUNS ON REEF Transport Logan Goes Ashore in Honolulu Harbor While Trying to Back Into Slip. Was in No Great Danger, and Foreign Vessels Rendered All Aid in Their Power to Boat Used to Carry Uncle Sam's Soldiers. Honolulu. The United States army transport Logan went ashore Saturday Satur-day night in this harbor while ma-neverlng ma-neverlng to back into her slip. The big troopship stopped with twenty-five twenty-five feet of her bow resting on a reef on the south side of the narrow harbor, har-bor, just opposite the slip. The Logan had entered the harbor and was maneuvering to back into her slip at 8 o'clock at night. Pilot Milton N. Sanders was in charge. The slip lies on the north side of the harbor, which is very narrow at that point. The big ship swung around so that she headed southward and ran on to the reef on the south shore There was no excitement among the passengers and troops aboard when the jar came. The ship's officers at once ascertained the extent of the damage and found that no leak had been started in the hull. As the position po-sition was sheltered and the weather calm, no other effort was made to float her when it was found that she could not free herself. The commanders command-ers of the foreign vessels here immediately imme-diately offered their assistance. |
