Monsieur Collins has kindly Civ
en- the gang free use of the ware
houge. which has been converted
into an immense gymnasium. All
sorts of athletic appliances, such
as horizontal bars, trapeezes, rings,
swings and many other things too
numerous to mention have been
arranged under the supervision of
Captain Jenkins. AS am writing,
sports and games of all kinds are
In progress. The days program
begun at 6 80 this morning, was
started with a tug-of-war which
lasted thirty-eight minutes. Cap
tain Kapono's team far surpassed
the other and came out winner.
The president of the Board Of
Health is not here, so we can have
all the fish we want. We have
nets, but are prevented from using
them only by the extreme laziness
Of every one on the dock. Fish
swarm about in the water and
simply stick their noses up to be
caught. They must be gifted with
second sight for they know we will
not modest them.
Pilot Lorenzen and Port Sur
veyor Sanders are taking a nap.
They were at q prayer meeting of
the gang last night.
Mr.. Ka Smith is very sociable
today. He Just came in and gave
us q verbal invitation to accom-
pany him to the gymnasium. He
had a wonderful feat to perform
and was anxious to have your re-
porter present. The invitation
was generally accepted. Gentle
men," he said upon our arrival, 81
am about to perform the wonderful
feat of skinning the cat J" With
this he sprang upon the trapeeze
in an agile manner. Mr.. Smith is
a wonderful acrobat, but mishap
occurred when he tried to reverse
or "put the skin back" as it is
popularity known. He got up to a
sitting position and there stuck
fast. Seeing nothing else to do,
he started up that old fashioned
melody, Little Jack Horner" to
the delectation of the gang,
who appreciated his very smooth
manner of getting out of the di- |
lemma.
Captain Jenkins has been busy |
all day experimenting the con-
struction of a bath house for the !
boys.
Paul Johnson has resigned his
position as tonsorial artist. Paul |
has been promoted to the position
of bath-house keeper. His rates
are one bath for a quarter or six for
a dollar. Turkish baths, extra.
The character commonly known
as Boots" is down at the other end
of the dock experimenting the
cleaning and oiling of trucks.
The Likelike is here discharging
her cargo Of sugar for shipment to
San Francisco on the Australia.
Captain Williams has imposed a
fine on ali those who are late to
their meals. Taylor gets fined
every meal. a queer thing hap
pened today. He started to tell
what he deemed an interesting
story, but before he finished his
audience were all asleep.
Dennis says there is one conso-
lation about being in quarantine,
any one can indulge in a quiet lit
tie game" without being troubled
by Marshal Brown and his assist
ants.
Captain LoreDzen and Sanders
played a game of cribbage for the
of the Oceanic wharf
today. They are bitter rivals.
Captain Lorenzen won the first
game. The second was disputed.
The third game was fairly started
when Sanders, totally disguised at
his poor hands, threw up the game
on the start. You remind me Of
the Valkyrie," said Captain Lor-
enzen. "You are always behind
and throw up the sponge just after
you cross the line. Put up all
your sails and go ahead"
There are half dozen Italians
On the dock.
Captain Williams intended to
move out in the stream this after
noon. The gang got wind of it
and held an indignation meeting.
He is with US yet.
