Neither can it rank with Christmas
carols,
For Xmas still lies beyond the Farrols,
Born hours ago, in the far away East,
We, like the Virgins, are late for the
feast.
We are loaded with bags of golden
shekels,
TO line the pockets of old Claus Spreck-
els,
OF which our share is afew small Jumps,
To sweeten our cocktails and cure the
dumps.
Which we've never had thanks to
Houdlette and Kel,
Genial fellows ever ready for ''smile'
At the ladies. | mean, for whom they

The steward has served us special Cruel,
The chief has done wonders with darn
bad fuel;
In spite of the quality the screw does
turn,
And when the Goals all gone, why Cole
man will bum.
At least one would think he'd ignite
very briskly.
To see him ingulf the Judges good
whiskey,
Not alone, if you please, for the Judge
never grudges,
When his bottle is out, we all become
judges.
How oft after dinner all happy and full,
We take our smoke while Lawless fights
the bull,
Tells how he Haunted a flaming red
shawl,
The Bull was red, too, so Lawlcss had
to crawl.
Just as the Judge, when he tackles
friend Seward,
Soon leaves him pegging slowly to lee
ward,
Thus has he left each one of this party,
TO die IN the last hole, while he laughs
''hearty.'
While the Captain his best wit is en-
ploying.
Down come the Judge, with hand
most annoying,

The Judge is out ere he's turned the
corner.
But excuse we, this rhyme is already
profuse,
And we are all full of wine and Christ

This is u day for children, not for
grown,
So Wen drink their health, both here
and at home.
And one more health we drink in cho-
rus,
To the Captain and Officers now before
us;
Thus our passage, like life with kindly
fatcs,
VIII end in Joy when we've passed the
Golden Gates.
AS it was past six when the Aus
trala reached the quarantine line,
only the cabin passengers were al
lowed 10 60 ashore in the tug-boat,
and the first man to assist me
ashore was Harry Agnew, who was
looking well, and made many en-
quiries about the Islands. AT the
Hotel met Clarence Macfarlanc,
Ed. Hutton, Mr.. Levey, and our
truanL boy Willie Kinney. OF course
all these had many questions to ask
about the Islands. Willie talks of
returning early next year to face the
music and if then in the same mind
as when / saw him, it is possible
that some floors will get mopped up
by many. Scarcely corner of the
street can be turned but what l

would take column of the BULLE-
TIN to give their names.

to the amount of $500 on letter of
Recommendation from q Government
official of Honolulu.
The Custom House authorities
here are making very minute exam
ination of the Portuguese arriving
here from Hawaii, concerning their
finances, on account of quiet a num-
Der becoming paupers after their
arrival here, and the determination
is to send them back TO the Islands
when found without means of sup
port. One gentleman remarked that
if Hawaii continued TO send her pau
pers to America, she will hear from
Uncle Sam in manner she will not
appreciate. Should this be carried
out | do not think everyone on the
Islands will be surprised, for they
cannot expect to food other coun-
tries with their paupers and bad
characters without some opposition
that may, perhaps, cost Hawaii
dearly, and this hint might be taken
advantage of by those in power.
The weather since my arrival has
been anything but pleasant. 1t is
not to say cold, but the rain-day

makes everyone look and feel miser-
able, and of course affects business
considerably.
On the trip up many funny little
incidents occurred, but there wa;
