imagined himself in fairy land, so

and there were palm leaves. In the

the Hawaiian string band. All
around this temporary structure
were stands of arms, and it was
Hastily decorated with flags, palms
and bananas trees, presenting quite
an imposing appearance. just be-
hind the stand was an immense palm
tree, and on the branches were
perched three parrots. The effect
of this was extremely unique. The
front Of the poop deck was decor
ated with bunting, cvergrccns and
flowers, and in the center where
every visitor could see it, the word
"Aloha" in gold letters. A masni-
ficent bouquet of roses sent to Adj
miral Kimberly by friends occupied
conspicuous place.
