stating that Mr. Thomas Lucas
better known as the red lion =
was getting ready TO proceed to
Johannesburg somewhere in
South Africa together with a
number of prominent mechanics
and other material suitable to
form a colony that would do
honor to Ireland as we'll as to
Hawaii. With a burst of enter
prise for which the HoLoNUA
always is noted a representative
of this paper sought the lion
and found MIN sober and com
municative. He fully endorsed
the statement in the Advertiser.
He had already formed a colony
consisting of the best whites
that is those whom Stevens call
ed Adventures, scum and
opium ring" He was going as
boss of the concern. He had re-
served salary for himself and
he would distribute the work
among the other colonists. Mr..
Z. B. Thomas who according to
the Advertiser had also packed
his gripsack. would contract for
the tent in which the colonists
were to sleep in. If his bid WASH t
the lowest he expected to get it
anyhow according to the rules
laid down by the Chief Justice
in Hawaii. Mr.. Wilson would
act in a triple capacity. He
would marshal the expedition,
separate the fighting lions aud
get occasionally arrested for do
ing so. The jeweler would have
the easiest job possible; but
then any man getting through
Castles clutches ought certainly
to be able to cope with the sharks
of South Africa. His job would
only be to estimate the value and
"set" the diamonds found by
Tommy" and the other colonists.
So far everything has gone
smoothly. The laboring classes
are we'll represented, because
every one of the bosses have
taken good care to have from one
to three workingmen with them
to do the mammal business while
the bosses do the "bossing" in
great style. Some difficulty arose
though this morning when at
meeting it was decided to take
doctor, a lawyer, and a newspa-
per man along. There was no
trouble about the doctor. The p.
g. signifed its willingness to
dispense with the services of DR..
Rodgers without compensation.
only making clause that he
should not be returned-he will
not. In regard to the lawyer
there was more trouble. All of
them wanted to go, but all of
them wanted a retainer. At the
secret request of the cabinet it
was agreed to take ". o. Smith.
His experience as a goat hunter
and his record from Kalalau were
sufficient to convince the colonists
of his special qualifications for a
South-Afriean Job. He will come
back though, as usual and don't
you forget it The newspaper
man was the cause of great dis
sension. The great and only W.
G.. Smith is known to be willing,
but Tommy, who always is
kicker, objected. He said that
Smith was bound to start a
liberal republic, with big salary
for himself, and then he said that
be ate too much. The colony
couldn't afford to fill his pouch.
Arthur Johnstone was then pro-
posed. Tommy kicked again be-
cause it would take a guardian to
hold him in one place. Ii left
alone Arthur would write one
day for the Matabele camp and
next day for the Tommy camp
and complications would arise.
Besides the colony couldn' / afford
to take Cunha and his establish
