ABSTRACT
THE Liverpool steamer Abana arrived at Labuan from the Suez Canal on her way to Vladivostok with a cargo of coal for the Russian fleet. She got along side the Labuan wharf all right, where she took six hundred tons of bunker coal. She was a big boat and deep loaded, drawing twenty-six feet six inches when she left the wharf. Two hours afterwards she hit what is now down on the chart as the Abana Rock. Incidentally she put an end to Northwood’s career in the Far East.
