Engineers Had to Work in Water Over Their Heads in Order to Stop the Inlow of Water. 1 San Francisco, Oct. 10. With her forward hold filled with water, the big Pacific Mall liner Mongolia, which went on the reef at Midway Island September 15, arrived in the harbor yesterday, after being obliged to remain outside a day and a night because of the heavy fog. When the Mongolia left Honolulu she had two gaping holes through her double bot tom, and once the ship was under way the hold began to fill rapidly. The day following her departure from Honolulu a corps of engineers, under Chief William Chlsholm and Assistant Engineer Bunkers, was ordered to rig a pump In the hold. They were obliged to work in water which was at times over their heads and with ropes around their waists. At one time the steamer listed heav ily to the port side and the officers were uneasy for her safety. The Mongolia went on the reef at Midway Island at 10:27 o'clock on the night of September 15th. The captain had orders to land President Wurd of the cable company on the island, but. he also had orders not to approach the liland at night. He brought the .Mongolia to within four teen miles of the island, the sea be ing particularly smooth. Two native boatmen started In a small boat to go to the big steamer, and the captain, wishing to save them a hard row, ordered the anchor up and proceeded slowly forward. Soundings were constantly taken, but they did not find bottom until the Mongolia had actually struck the reef. Three anchors were let go to hold the steamer In place, but one after another the lines parted and the anchors were lost. Then the captain ordered two seven-ton anchors low ered and she held firm. Captain Porter had as much of the cargo as was possible moved aft In the hope of raising the bow and pulling his vessel off with her own engines. On the second day the Japanese training ship Anegawa arrived and offered assistance. Lines were passed to the stranded vessel, but an parted. The Japanese vessel then gave up and departed. Seeing that In order to cave his ship he must sacrifice something. Captain Porter Jettisoned 1,300 tons of cargo. The anchors and eighty tons of chain were floated off on small boats and the engines were started. The Mongolia responded at once and with a mighty Jerk came off the rocks so suddenly that she ran down the two small bouts, smashing them to pieces. The army transport Buford acted as a convoy for the damaged vessel, and the day after sue got away a heavy gale came up which certainly would have pounded her hull to pieces had she been on the rocks at the time.
