AGENT McvEIGH GIVEN A PURSE.
With umigation Process Prescribed
by the Board of Health-Target Prac
tice-Gov. Fairchild a Good Manager,
MAULIoLA QUARANTINE STATION,
HONOLULU, October 3, 1895.

| Operandi and daily life OF the poor I'M
| fortunates ~ detained here upon the
"Reef" at Mauliols" by one of their
number, will be of interest to many Of
your readers, some of whom may find
| it expedient to larry at this charming
summer resort for a few days before
leaving for their homes upon the other
islands, as we have done.
This party consists of eleven gentle
men and fifteen ladies, among whom
may pe found some of the most promi-
nent people of the Garden Island, who,
having been detained in Honolulu for
the past four or five weeks, are ex-
ceedingly anxious to return to their
| homes, with others who seem equally
anxious to become permanent resi-
dents of the beautiful, but recently
rebellious, little island of Kauai.
Among these gentlemen are a num-
Der good and clever, from the neigh
! borhood of Kealia, whom a prominent
member of the Board of Health was
pleased to name the Kealia kickers,
owing to the fact that they spent the
greater part of their spare time during
| the four weeks of their enforced stay
in Honolulu ia regular attendance at
the meetings Of the Board, urging
their right to land upon Kauai and
return to their homes, after having
complied with the regulations of the
National Board of Health here, but
for some unaccountable reason this
permission to go into quarantine here
with a guarantee of peaceful landing
upon Kauai was not granted until the
resignation of the great and promi-
l. Of I,a ii -
Health of Lihue, Kauai, was received.
Having secured the necessary per-
mission and guarantee the "kickers"
subsidized, and the National Board of
Health heard great and mighty sigh
of relief, so did the kickers, who i'm
mediately gathered themselves to-
gether, with their wives and personal
effects, entered into quarantine at this
loved spot-Mauliola-Saturday, Sep
TENDER 29th, at high noon, there to
fumigate, ruD1inate and rusticate until
such time as in the opinion of the
health officers, the 'cholera bugs" Ia
la Maui scientists), depart from them
forevermore, when they will embark
upon the steamship Kea Au Hou,
And will sail away
From this charming bay,
And on Kauai forever stay.
Immediately upon our arrival here,
the fumigation commenced, and oh,
how shall I describe this most de-
lightful process? Those who have
experienced the delights of Russian
or Turkish baths can form but faint
idea of the blissful effects produced.
The Volcano House sulphur baths are
considered a luxury and delight, for
which We are eager to squander our
ducats, but there is little or no COM
parison between any of these and
Mauliola fumigation baths. Suffice
to say that every mothers son of US,
and daughter too, including the baby,
enjoyed this rare treat, gratis. So
thoroughly and well done was it, that
we have not yet lost the delightfully."-
exhilerating effects, but go capering
about like lot OF juveniles just freed
from school.
The surroundings of Mauliola are
all that go to delight the heart of an
artist, lying opposite the beautiful
Nuuanu Valley; the majestic hills
with their ever varying lights and
shadows on either side, and the broad
expanse of the "grand, old ocean" to
the south and west, afford scenic eff
fects that must be seen to be appre.
ciated.
The accommodations are all and
more than could be expected, and sur
pass those offered guests at many of
is good, and the kindness OF the Off
Gals in charge is a most remarkable
feature Of the place. We have enjoyed
our stay upon this lovely spot so fully
and pleasantly that we cannot realize
that our time is up and we must bid
farewell to our pleasant surroundings
and go, and are exceedingly loath to
do so.
Our days were passed in rambles
about the island, novel reading, crib
bage, whist, etc. Our evenings, glorious
moonlight evenings, never to be for
gotten, in song and daDce-as we have
a number of accomplished musicians
and several very sweet and well culti-
waited voices among our number.
Wednesday night being our last
upon the island, we celebrated by the
discharge of fireworks and bombs and
the footing of horns, which must have
disturbed the occupants OF the little
graveyard close by, and was seen and
heard by our friends in Honolulu.
In conclusion, we wish to mention
the uniform courtesy of "Central,"
who has attended to our numerous
telephone calls. We admire his grit !
and patience, which certainly exceeds |
that of a saint. Accept of our thanks, |
Central"
