The run down. occupied a little
over one hour. The clear weather,
pleasant breeze, and smooth water,
all combined to make the short sea
trip pleasant one.
The bar at the entrance of Pearl
River was crossed before 10 a. m.
Entering the harbor, we pass Mr..
Dowsett's ranch, or more correctly
dwellings and storehouses attached
to that property, on our left, ano
turning point of low land, jutting
out on our left we find ourselve!
perfectly landblocked, and, needless
to add, in water as smooth as thu
proverbial mill pond.
Our little steamer followed the tor
tuous windings of enc of the numcr
Gus reaches of water that, together
form what is called Pearl River
nearing first one bank, and theI
another.
: The land ON either hand appeared
to be perfect level for man,
miles, the almost unbroken plail
reaching to the foot of the noun
tains.
AS point from point was passed
each succeeding reach disclosed ney
and charming landscapes, tn
view ever changing as the littl
steamer ploughed her noiselesss wa
over the still water, the only SCUM
being the hoarse grumbling of TIL
4 exhaust pipe, that, passing u
t through the hurricane deck emitte
t cloud of steam with each stroke O
: the engines.
At many points were notice
homesteads Nesting in the midst O
groves of cocoa nut, banana, an
+ other trees, and scarcely distin
+ guishable amongst the luxurian
. foliage.
i. Arriving at the head of the frs
bend, the steamer retraced he
/; course and entered another reach
i Here diversion of another kin
occurred. The sloop yacht Hea
r lani, that had followed in our wax
from Honolulu, sailed GRACEFUL
close under the steamers sterr
whilst some musical genius on tn
!. yacht saluted us with dulcet T?
/ strains from species of trumpet
# which was promptly responded
i. by the steamers whistle.
;. On board the yacht were obserV
!. ed Messrs. l.. A. Thurston, l.. Wi
/ COX, w. o. Smith, G. p. Iaukea, {
n b. Wilson, f. Wundenburg, and {
|. Brown.
It The 'Healani' tackled seyeraltime
d sailing round the steamer, the lattC
meanwhile going her best gait, an
the exhaust pipe showing no sigI
OF giving up. although one woul
suppose each breath was kind
: last final effort
o The "Healani" showed wonde
IL full sailing qualities and the prai

y sporting spirit of Captain Graha
