THE TUG ELEU AND THE MOLuKAI COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Paehaole offered the following reso-
luton:
WHEREAS, From certain reports it is
learned that the tug Eleu is to carry the
Special Committee of Five to KalawaO,
Molokai, and that it is the same vessel
that took members of the Board of Health
to Molokai, when the President was nearly
washed overheard, be it
Resolved, That the President of the
Board of Health be requested to furnish a
larger and better vessel to proceed TO MolO-
kai.
In support of the resolution Mr.. Pae-
haole said the weather looked as if it was
going to be rough, and he thought the
House did not want to imperil the lives OF
the members. He had spoken to the
owners of the steamer James l. Dowsett,
and found it could be available.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson admitted the
Justice of the remarks. He had had some
experience, and felt quite an old
sailor He had made several hun
dred trips in the channels in small
boats. 1t was a hardship to get a ducking
and have to take off wet clothes and dry
+ them by the furnace. The tug Eleu is a
strong and swift boat, and would land the
committee safely at their destination
They would provide literally for their
needs on the trip. He admitted that the
tug was not intended for passenger boat
She was all right TO make trip in during
daylight, there not being sufficient accom-
mediation for sleep. But this need would
not arise. She would go with speed anC
return with speed.
Mr.. Kaulukou said that as Mr.. PaehaolC
was accustomed to make trips across the
channels in open boats he felt sure hi
would be very comfortable in the Eleu
If he (Mr. P.) takes the wheel, the EleT
will make a good trip. He moved the
resolution be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Lilikalani moved as an amendment
that life lines be stretched around the tug
so that if the members of the committed
want to look over the side of the vesse
they would not lose their balance.
Mr.. Aholo would like to go to MolOkai
! He did not know the tug, but when al
| experienced sailor like Mr.. Paehaole die
not care to go on her-that was signifi
cant. The committee did not want to g
to Molokai dressed in malos, as they do
| when travelling in whalebOats. He moved
the resolution be laid on the table.
! Mr.. Dole said money could be saved b!
| having the steamer Dowsett, and the com
mittee would be made very comfortable OF
| her. The Eleu had no cabins and was no
| fit for the channels in bad weather, anc
was quite likely to go to the bottom.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said the cOst
| of the EIeu would be about $50. while by
! the Dowsett it would be 800 or $50. A
| to Mr.. Dole's remarks about the Eleu go
! ing to the bottom they were very anus
| ing. when il was remembered that the EleI
made the trip from San Francisco, anC
encountered much worse weather on tina
trip than she was likely to meet with il
going to Molokai. He seconded the mo
ton to lay on the table.
The resolution was laid on the table.
FILLING A VACANCY.
Mr.. Dole offered resolution that tn,
President fill a vacancy on the Sanitary
Committee caused by the absence of the
Hon. Godfrey Rhodes. Carried.
The President appointed Hon. 5. g
Wilder. after Mr. Dole had declined on
account of his already being on two com
mittees.
