tVia Wireless.) In high f spirit and
cheerful, despite the fact that the ves
sel to which their, lives were entrusted
was burning beneath them, the pas
sengers f the City of Honolulu danced
to the lively music o'f a Jazz band dur
ing the. trying hours which preceded
abandonment of the ship.
The music and -dancing were de
vices to Keep up their morale and it
" succeeded admirably. There was not
even the slightest" semblance of con
fusion. Friday night the 39 women and 35
men passengers of the City of Honolulu
v.hich burned Thursday slept ia the
comfortable state rooms of" the army
transport Thomas vacated by officers
on board the transport to afford the
unexpected passenger list every oppor
tunity to recovery from their thrilling
experiences of the last two days. The
officers who gave up their state rooms
slept on the decks of the transport.
- The passengers who came aboard the
Thomas from the freighter West Fa
rallone early Thursday gave a thrilling
account of the last hours on board the
City of Honolulu.
The fire was discovered at 5 a. m.
Thursday "in the second cabin section
and is believed to have been started by
a short circuit of electric wires.
The passengers were told soon there
after that the fire was under control.
The crew fought it valiantly until
thfe pumps gave out at 9 a. m. when
the passengers were ordered to -the
boats.
. The captain was' the last man to
leave, remaining aboard until 10 a. m.
A heavy list of the burning ship to
port made the lowering of the ship's
' 14 boats difficult but the work was ac
complished without Injury to anyone.
There was no casualties either from
the fire1 or from the six hours exposure
during which the - boats floated, about
the burning ship until picked up by
the freighter West Farallone. i
The Thomas received the i'S. O. S.?
of the City of Honolulu 'Thursday
morning and arrived at the scene at
midnight. The sea was calm and the
' weather fine.
The . burning ship presented a won
derful sight at night.
Friday as the Thomas steamed away
with her passengers and crew, the
steamer was still burning. .She had a
heavy list to port and one mast and.
sne funnel were gone but there was
still hope of salvaging the hulk.

San Francisco, Oct. 14. (I. N. S.)
The investigation of the burning of
the liner City of Honolulu will be

mit her to be boarded. Meanwhile,
