KILAUEA PUTS
BACK; MATE'S
LEG IS BROKEN
Chief Officer H. Crosky, of the Inter-Island steamer Kilauea was brought back to port in maimed condition early this afternoon, the vessel reaching her wharf at two o'clock. The return of the Kilauea gave rise to many rumors.
Chief Officer Crosky went to the relief of a horse that was carried on the forward deck of the vessel. A succession of huge waves had sent the animal to the deck with a broken leg. Crosky had assisted the horse to a standing position, when he slipped and his own left leg became jammed in a pile of cargo. Other officers in the Kilauea reached the scene, the horse was shot and the body sent over the side.
The chief officer was found to have sustained a serious fracture of the left leg below the knee, besides suffering from a number of minor bruises, which would require expert medical attention. The Kilauea was accordingly put back, and Crosky taken to the hospital by the police ambulance.
Kilauea officers report very rough weather in the channel.
The Kilauea sailed at noon today for Kona and Kau ports and was taking the remains of the late Senator George C. Hewitt. The vessel after reaching her dock this afternoon sailed again immediately.
