Departure Of the MaripOSa.

The largest crowd that has ever witnessed the
departure or arrival of a steamer at Honolulu, ex-
cept when His Majesty arrived from his tour round
the world, assembled Tuesday at the Oceanic
Steamship Co.'s wharf at the time the Mariposa
sailed. This is partly accounted for by the unusu-
ally large number of passengers but chiefly on ac-
count of the interest felt in the ship herself
Among those present were His Majesty the King,
accompanied by Major Puryis, H. r. H. Princess
Likelike. Hon. A. s. Cleghorn, His Excellency W.
NJ. Gibson, His Excellency ]. NJ. Kapena, Colonel
Claus Spreckels, Mrs. and Miss Spreckels, Mr.. F.
l.. s. Steele and Mrs. Steele.
The passengers with their friends commenced to
go on board before one o'clock and by half-past
one o'clock a long string of carriages in front of
the Custom House showed that something unusual
was going on. The wharf was densely packed and
on board the crush was worse. There was the us
ual leave taking, the kissing. crying, hugging, jok-
ing, laughing, smiling and singing; there was an
occasional scion of some noble house lost who had
TO be sought for at the last moment, and when the
signal all ashore was given there was a rush and
a crush at the gangway which caused for q quarter
Of an hour a regular block. Through the assist
ance of Captain Mehrtens a passage was cleared
and His Majesty enabled 70 tread onoe more on
terra frma, the ship disgorged her living uon-pas-
sengers, Cnnsnl McKinlay being the last down the
gangway, the band boys played q few farewell airs
1hu ia HWS h"fSO SlohlH Ddt surely. turning rOQnQ
with remarkable precision. The manager of the
company had a race in a little boat to catch the
moDster and hand over his plpers, and the privil-
eyed few who went outside the reef got safely back
again. The band ha3 gone, the dude has gone and
many kind and dear friends have gone and here
endeth the first trip Of the Mariposa.
