LINER PRESIDENT HOOVER AGROUND.—With 500 passengers and a crew of 333 aboard, the American owned liner President Hoover one of the luxury liners ploughing the Pacific, went aground off the southern tip of the island of Formosa, owned by Japan. She was grounded on Hoishoto Island, off the tip of Formosa, on a run from Kobe, Japan, to Manila. The President Hoover was subjected to bombing last summer when Chinese Army aeroplanes mistook her for a Japanese troopship and she thereafter omitted Shanghai, formerly on her schedule, as a port of call.
