tion or discharge, and that the
widow of such an official shall re-
ceive a pension equal to one-quarter
of her husbands salary, the pension
to cease in case of her marriage.
Rep. Paehaole presented reso-
luton, reciting that it was reported
the tug Eleu has been selected to
take the committee of visitation to
Molokai; that the vessel in question
had been used to take the President
of the Board of Health and party
there on a former occasion, when
they were in danger of being washed
overheard: and therefore resolving
that the President of the Board of
Health be requested to place a
larger vessel at the disposal of the
committee. He did not think the tug
boat was fit to send on that mission (;
she was too small. He believed that
storm was brewing, and that men,
bers of the committee would suffer.
Minister Gibson Prest. B. of. ii. }
admitted the justice of part of what
the hon. member had said. He had
himself had experience of the ocean
as an old sailor, but perhaps his
hardihood might not excuse his ex-
posing the gentlemen of more
tender nature to the perils of the
sea. He had made several hundred
trips in the channel between the
islands, and it was a hardship to get
ducking and to have ones clothes
dry on him. The Minister of In
terror had engaged to have the boat
ready, extra hands had been en-
ployed, and creature comforts pro-
vided for the voyage-something to
eat and drink, but nothing of an
alcoholic nature-and, although the
vessel was not calculated as q pas
senger boat and was not adapted
for night voyage, the committee
would find comfortable arrange
ments for daylight passage.
Still, if the Assembly thought she
was not good enough, or if the voy-
age was to be made at night, per-
haps larger vessel could be OBJ
tanned. In every other respect the
Eleu was strong and serviceable
boat, and he hoped she would con-
vey the hon. members to Molokai
and back in good time.
Rep. Kaulukou thought the hon.
member for Molokai, accustomed to
cross the channel in surf boats,
would not be uncomfortable on the
Eleu, and if he took the wheel the
tug would make a very comfortable
trip. He moved that the resolution
be indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Lilikalani moved to amend
the resolution by requiring that a
life line or netting be placed round
the bulwarks, as some of. the com.
mittee might require to look over
the side of the boat. (Laughter),
Rep. Aholo thought the resolution
should lie on the table till tomorrow
He would like to go to Molokai him
self. Not having seen this boat, he
would like to go down and take lool
at her. If the member for Molokai
