never more well
come to any port than at Honolulu,
where most of her officers are as
well known as they are in their
native cities.
She was sighted about $3.50
o'clock. The news travelled far
and wide in a very short time, and
it was not long before the wharves
were crowded with people, all anx-
ious to see her round Diamond
Head. AS she neared Waikiki
people crowded to the roofs of high
buildings, jostled each other on the
Wharves and on the decks Of YES
sells, while many hired shore boats.
The whole scene was an animated
one.
The flagship left San Francisco
on the Goth inst. Many people not
familiar with nautical affairs
imagined that she would make
the run down in about two
days and were disappointed
because che failed to appear
on Monday. She came down
in about nine days and a
half, which is a fair to good trip,
considering that she was not forced.
She had heavy weather, which
greatly impeded her progress.
As she reached the spar buoy
she fired the usual salute. She
steamed in the channel slowly and
finally came to anchor in naval
row. AS she neared Ler position,
the answering salute was fred from
the shore battery. The merchant
vessels hoisted their flags at the
same time.
The flagship has Admiral Boards
lee on board. He is in command
