STRAY NOTES
The rebellion was planned so
quietly that nearly every foreigner
residing in Honolulu and vicinity
disbeleved the report when first re-
ceived and were rendered almost
speechless with surprise when they
saw indisputable signs of the insur-
rection.
Natives. women and children by
the hundreds, with all portable bag
gage fled to the mountains early in
the day and remained there through
out the night.
Previous to the first shot Palace
Square was thronged with people of
various nationalities and prominent
positions were occupied by boys
watching the movements of the re-
bells within the Palace wall. At the
second shot, which came few sec
onds after the first, there was uni
versal stampede of the spectators to
places of safety, and when the gen.
eral firing began the non-combatants
were at good distance.
During the forenoon the halyards
Of the flag over the U. S. Consulate
parted and the Stars and Stripes
ignominiously tumbled down. Heavy
guns were then sounding and rifle
shots came in rapid succession. 1t
being understood that the U. S.
S. Adams force was to be called
ashore when needed, by the Consul
late flag, little anxiety was felt
until Mr.. M. McInerny hoisted an
American flag over his building OPP
posite the Consulate.
When squad of marines came
ashore in the forenoon and marched
to the U. S. Legation, cheers were
given by the townspeople and cour-
age was revived.
When the blue Jackets of the
Adams came ashore with a gatline
gun at dusk, crowds followed ex-
pecting them to storm the rebels.
They had no intention of advancing
on the works, however, and went
TO quarters at the old Armory foI
the night.
When Wilcox was made prisoner
and was being marched to the
Station House followed by a pro.
miscuous throng, some of whom
shouted chang him." he appeared
calm and walked erect. His voice
trembled little, however, when he
spoke at the Station House.
One of the most amusing events
of the evening of the rebellion wa:
told by Ritleman, who said that
he and others kicked The PROSTATE
form of man in the Government
Stables, and getting no response
continued their search for live reb,
els; but to their great establishment
when they came back to carry of
the dead man, he was gone, having
been 'playing possum."
While the guests were dining a
the Dudeit House down town Oh
King street, two bullets struck the
side of the house near one of til,
dining room windows. The missiles
were recovered and are preserved a,
relics.
