The Shawnee will ar- rive at the scene either late Satur- day or Sunday, it was Believed. ~ Rescue the City of Honolu- officials, they were at a loss to guess cause of the disastrous blaze, who, until the last moment mized accounts of the fire, their desire to have the matter thoroly. No word has come to give the slightest clue to the origin of the fire or the conditions aboard caused it to spread so rapidly gers and crew were forced take to lifeboats in the open within a short time after the fire discovered. From radio reports that have thus far been received it ts ev — dent that only the fortunate cir cumstances of calm sea and clear weather and the miraculous proximity of other vessels pre vented loss of life and possibly a _ terrific disaster. Scant hopes were held out for salvage of the burning hulk, ag it estimated that the heat of fi will soon burst the plates of luxurious liner vefore tugs & ters can reach the scene. Ralph J. Chandler, vice of the Los Angeles Steamship pany, sald: “Company officers are at a lous hazard the slightest guess as to how the disaster originated. Preparations are being made for a most sweeping investigation. “The City of Honolulu was equipped with the very latest firefighting apparatus and every possible emergency measure must have been taken before of- ficers and crew left the ship. “The vessel is chartered to our company and the loss will be sum tained by the shipping board.” Wireless messages received here from passengers after being taken aboard the West Farrallone praised the skill and action of the City of Honolulu's crew. from land, was looked upon here as one of the big accomplish- ments in modern maratime his- tory. Credit was given the radio, by) means of which aid was called and rescue operations directed until the radio operators were driven from their posts aboard the Honolulu by fire. The radio aboard the West Farralone then kept land stations ad- vised, and today the Thomas was in touch with land stations as she steamed toward San Francisco. For the passengers, the ex- perience was a nerve-racking one, It involved two transfers to open boats without land in sight—once when the ship was abandoned and they took to the lifeboats to spend five hours drifting before being picked up by the West Farrallone, and again this morning when they were carried in boats from the freighter to the Thomas, Thruout the night radio stations on the coast were kept busy handling radiograms to friends and relatives from those who had passed safely thru this latest sea disaster. From the trend of these messages it was known that all was well with the survivors and none had been injured or suffered more than discomfort.
