BRAVE HANNAH SMELL.
In Male Attire She Served as a
British Marine With Credit.

There have been many woman
warriors in the world, but it must
be admitted that there have been
very few whose deeds were such
as to claim the admiration of the
country for any great length of
time. In the annals of woman's
warfare there are generally stories
of oyer-zealousness, leading to ia
naticism and subsequent punish
ment and disgrace. Seldom, in
deed, has a woman warrior been
gratefully recognized by the gov
eminent of her country.
Within the memory of our grand
parents there lived in England q
woman named Hannah Smell, who,
when but a girl, took the strange
resolution of enlisting as soldier.
She served as marine on one of
the vessels of fleet bound to the
West Indies, and showed so much
courage that she was repeatedly
promoted. Her sex was unknown,
and therefore it could never be
claimed that Hannah SHELLS sue
cess was due to partiality or favor
itism. Once, when dangerously
wounded, she extracted the ball
herself, fearing that she might be
discovered and discharged. After
long service she returned to her
native home at Worcester. Eng
land, where her adventures soon
became spread abroad. The gov
eminent, on investigation of her
really great career, granted pen
sion of ego. She died full of years
and laden with honors at an inn
near Mapping.

The fact that Mr.. Spreckels' Ha
waiian organ announces he has
never been defeated will serve to
remind the taxpayers of these ISL
ands he was quite severely de-
feated when the Provisional gov
eminent paid him his due bills
amounting to $4,000 several
months ago. Perhaps Mr.. Spreck-
els will emphasize his defeat by
publishing further interviews fur
nished by himself or his son in
the papers of the United States, as
he, or they, wend their way to
Washington to fight annexation.
Nothing is to be said against the
Spreckels firm, as represented in
Honolulu, but when it comes to
the older Spreckels and annexation
that's different.

The royalists are at present in
dulging in a repetition of figures
relating to the proportion of Amer
leans in Hawaii, which are quite
likely to kick backward, as most
royalist figures do. We call
attention to the fact that the
item Hawaiian born foreign
ers" includes about two-thirds
Americans, who, if added to the al
legged American contingent of 1928,
will make quite a respectable show
ing both in present politics and fu-
ture taxes. Mr.. Marques is a poor
politician, and as diplomat will
scarcely cast shadow.

The Bulletin declares that the
ball at the executive building was
not the success it is reported to be
and that it is not to be compared
with royalist demonstrations of the
same character in "years under
the monarchy" Well Well that's
quite so; shall we relate some of
the doings of the participants in
the balls given under the mon
archy? Well, no; perhaps the
veil had better be drawn for fear of
injuring the feelings of a "small
coterie" who "are not leaders in
this community" at present.

a FITTING SEND-OFF GIVEN TIE
WHITE CRUISER YES
TERDAY.
The Vessel Accompanied TO Sea by
Honolulu Citizens on Board
the Tug Eleu,

The announcement in these col
umns yesterday that the U. S. S.
Boston would sail at 80 PM. for
San Francisco drew an immense
crowd to the water front to witness
the departure of the vessel. Shortly
after l o'clock the white cruiser
began preparations for leaving, but
owing to one of the anchor chains
getting foul with the ram, it was
nearly half-past 2 o'clock before the
vessel was ready to steam out of
the harbor.
Some time before the Boston got
under way, the tug Eleu, with
Messrs. Captain King, w. o. Smith,
G. K. Wilder and wife, DR.. Rodgers,
c. Hammer, w. c. Wilder, Jr.,
Luther Wilcox, Captain Good,
Colonel Soper, F. S. Dodge, Misses
Berger and Holland, P. NJ. Maher,
of the San Francisco City Argus,
Capt. Camara, Chief Justice Judd,
Major G. c. Potter, Captain Hugh
Gum, a number of other gentle
men, the Hawaiian band, and re-
representatives. of the Star and AID
vERTIsER, cruised around the har-
Dor in close proximity to the war
ship. During the intervening pc
Rod before the Boston was ready
to sail, the band played number
of patriotic American airs. Several
appropriate selections were rem
dered by the bands of the Phila-
delphia and Boston.
A large Hawaiian flag was flying
from the stern of the tug, and the
American ensign at the bow.
At the moment the Boston
steamed out cheers upon cheers
were given by the sailors on the
Philadelphia and Adams, which
were Justify returned by the de-
parting crew. Replying to one of
the cheers the sailors of the Boston
tossed their white duck hats into
the air, number of them falling
in the water. This is in keeping
with the usual American custom.
The hats were eagerly sought for
and picked up by native boatmen
and boys in swimming.
AS the Boston was going out the
tug steamed alongside, near enough
for those on board to exchange
greetings and say goodbyes to the
officers and crew. The tug accom-
panied the vessel out to sea, going
some distance beyond the bell buoy.
During the passage out Professor
Berger's musicians played Ameri-
can and Hawaiian airs almost con-
tinually, the fife and drum band on
the Boston returning the compli-
ment whenever a lull occurred
Several salutes were given by the
tug and replied to by the departing
warship.
When the time arrived for the
tug to return, a parting salute Of
three loud and long whistles was
given, and the compliment re.
turned in a like manner by the
Boston. While the Hawaiian band
was playing "The Star Spangled
Banner" the last adieus were ex'
changed, and with the strains Of
this grand old patriotic American
air ringing in their ears and the
waving of hats and handkerchief
the Boston proceeded on her jour
ney to the coast.
A most delightful trip was made
by the tug, the staunch vessel rid
ing the mighty swell of the Pa
cifc like a canvass back, giving q
much enjoyed zest to the passage
The return voyage was made to the

The Boston left the harbor yes
terday afternoon, after a stay of
thirteen months and two days in
this harbor. She was welcomed
here as the third of the white squad
ron, and, with the Charleston and
San Francisco, has made a name
in Hawaiian history. While the
Boston has in no way violated the
courtesies of international law, as
alleged by the royalists of Hawaii,
she has at the same time
been prompt and efficient
in protecting American life and
property here. In so doing both
her officers and crew have incurred
the ill-will of the monarchy and its
supporters, and consequently the
Boston carries away with her the
iIl-will of all those who oppose
American interests in Hawaii.

AN EARTHQUAKE.
An Island is Utterly Devas-

The City Of Zante Destroyed and
~" Many People Are
Killed.

ATHENS, Greece, April IT, Associated
Press. The Island OF Zante, one OF the
principal ones Of the Ionia groupe, was
visited by a most destructive earth
quake this morning. The greater part
of the city OF Zante was destroyed.
The people were panic striker: The
authorities are helpless, and the streets
are blocked with debris of wrecked
houses. So far twenty bodies have been
taken from the ruins and it is feared
many more are still buried; HUNDREDS
are injured. Most OF the inhabitants
fed to the plains back OF the city where
they wander about bemoaning the loss
OF relatives by the recent earthquake.
The city is a scene OF utter desolation.
1t is doubtful if it ever RECEIVERS from
the serious disasters which have re-
Gently befallen it. Outside help is ur-
gently needed.
The whole island is devastated and it
is believed there has been great loss OF
life. The earthquake was predicted by
Professor Falb, who also foretold the
previous earthquake. Warships will
be sent with clothing and provisions for
the sufferers.
