The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-09-16
RECEPTION AT KAHULui HOLY
TERROR ROUTED Al noME.
HAWAII OPEN.


1t may be stated that Hawaii
has raised the embargo. All the
Claudine passengers are in quaran-
tine on Cocoanut Island, Hilo port.
Word comes that no more passen-
gers are wanted The prospective
passengers are few. Those who
may go will in all likelihood be re-
ceived. The Board of Health for
the big island appointed from here
has taken hold firmly and intelli-
gently. Freight tabu is removed
entirely. Provision is made for
fumigation, In short Hawaii is in
the federation again provided there
is not another outbreak of cholera
here. The ten-day quarantine is
established as a precaution and as a
measure to await Developments.
THE HIGH SHERIFF.
"Holy Terror" Hitchcock, sheriff
of Hawaii, tried to go ashore at
Hilo with the mail. They called
out the fire department on him
and he discreetly returned to the
Claudine. For once the Holy
Terror was taken at disadvan-
tage and had to retreat. He is in
quarantine with the others on
Cocoanut Island.
PER CLAUDINE.
The Wilder steel steamer Clau-
dine came into the offing this
morning without either her pas
sengers or freight, greatly TO the
satisfaction of President Wight of
the company and Capt. King, the
superintendent. The following &C
count of the trip is sent to THE
STAR by one of the gentlemen
domiciled on Cocoanut Island:
S. S. "CLAUDINE,"
HILo, Sept. ID, 1895.
We arrived at Kahului, Thurs
day at 6 a. m, anchored and low
cred a boat i'll which Sheriff Hitch
cock, Sheriff Andrews; Beckley
and Chas. Falk started for the
shore. They were met by a COM
mittee from shore, the Chair
man standing in the shore
boat to heward, vociferating
in a shrill voice the following
mandate: THE citizens of Maui
at a mass meeting Sept 10, re-
solved that no passengers be
allowed to land unless after quar-
antine of IS days"
Whether caused by the motion OF
the boat, determination or other
reason we know not, but the chair
mans limbs were decidedly I'm
steady and the entire committee
appeared to be suffering from chills
and fever. From the boat came a
nonchalant, "Oh, come ashore Carly
and do some telephoning for Inc,
from Sheriff Andrews. The Clau
dine boat continued on its way to
the wharf. The Board of Health
committee was eventually gotten
together and all passengers were
refused landing even under quar-
antine. Freight and mails were,
however, accepted. Passengers
would have been allowed to land
had they been in quarantine fifteen
days aboard ship.
Captain Cameron went ashore
with his clean bill of health and
protested, but without avail, the
committee contcnding that public
sentiment was too strong for them
and though some believed the edici
extreme. they had to defer to pub
lie opinion. After passing the
compliments Of the day, we weigh
ed anchor for, Hilo. In mid channe
we signalled the Kilauea Hou and
sent to Honolulu by her, intelli
gence of our non-success.
Proceeding, we reached Hilo at !
a. III, yesterday and were met by ;
committee, who on consultation
decided OH allowing the "a passen
gers to land under ten-day quar-
antine, on Cocoanut Island.
There is no scare here, but sim
ply desire and determination t,
keep clear Of the plague. TIL
people of Hilo are to be commende,
for accepting the Maui people an,
throughout have acted in rationa
and charitable manner. We g
in quarantine at noon; all arrange
ments will by that time be pei
fected.
| All aboard are well and conten,
ed. Last night we, had musical
aboard, at the end Of which an ad
dress was handed the Captain
complimenting him on the Wig
; lance and care exercised by him i
the unusual and trying emergenc
through which he had safely guiC
ed them. The Captain feelingl
responding. The w. S. S. c.
were also thanked for their publ
, spiritedness.
