A VOYAGE TO PARADISE.
How the Mariposa's Passengers En-
joyed Themselves.

The route, and incidents connected
Herewith, from the Golden Gate to
the capital city of the Paradise of
the Pacific has been written to death,
SO that this presentation of life on
the blue Pacific, ON the gentlemanly
otiicercd and we'll equipped steamer
Mariposa of the Spreckels Bros line
is merely touching upon the usual
summer sea, balmy air, etc, the al
most constant accompaniments Of
voyage to Honolulu.
Leaving San Francisco on the 9th
April, and bringing the good news of
the $40 per ton advance on sugar,
the good ship Mariposa, with court
eous Captain Hayward commander,
sailed away from the unreliable
climate of California toward the
land of the supposed lotus eaters;
unannexed Hawaii.
We were lucky lot, as the sea,
even on the dreaded bar of the Gold
en- Gate, was smooth, and so con-
tinucd until we wcrc far beyond the
influence of the stiff north-westers
which threaten navigators for many
miles of the distantly located Far
raleones. \ summer sea indeed, and,
for many days, its smooth, unruffled
mirrorlike surface confounded cy-
mics and made many converts to
! the pacific nature Of tho broad
! Pacific.
The usual pleasures on ship
board were indulged in and which
included shuttle billiards, quoits,
ring toss, etc, and few as we were
we were happy, very happy lot.
On the evening of the Bird sur
prise was presented which had been
vaguely limited at in notice posted
that, "By the kindness of Captain
Hayward the Social Hall has been
placed at the disposal of the Mari
posa Mid-Paciiic Minstrels and they
will give an entertainment at 7:3O
o'clock this, Wednesday, evening.
Everybody invited"
The evening came and the per-
formance was graced by the pres
ence of Lady Heron and family,
Mr.. and Mrs. M. S. Grinbaum, Capt.
Won Arnold (of Ell. |. German Maj
esty's warship Spcrber, at present
at Samoa), and, amongst others,
last but not least, Mr.. B. f. Dilling-
ham, the well-known worker in Ha-
waiian interests. Mr.. Frank God
frey, the editor of the Paradise of
the Pacific, was the manager of the
entert ainment, having as an associ-
ate Mr.. Paul Cowles, a millionaire
"Native Son of the Golden West"

cided hits in their peculiar presenta-
tion of the verses of John Browns
Body" ETC., and also the old, old
"Johnnie Schmoker." Captain Hay
ward and Purser Smith made it
most pleasant for the company and
a very enjoyable evening was passed
Before parting thanks were ten
dered, by unanimous vote, to Cap
tain Hayward and Chief Steward
Cowes and all other officers of the
/ ship for favors received.
: The voyage, as a whole, from Sar
Francisco to Honolulu was a con
stant round of pleasure and the
landing of the greater number al
, Honolulu was much regretted by
Australian friends.
Happy indeed are those who trave
t hitherward in the good ship Mari
. posa, under the guidance of Captain
Hayward and the stewardship of the
| prince of caterers, Robert Cowes.
