Island of Molokai could be seen three
columns of smoke at equal distances.
The vessels were approaching in line
of battle and made fine appearance.
Soon the masts could be seen and the
various steamers were recognized
through the glasses. When they got
quite close to Diamond Head, the City
of Peking, which was closest to the
land. turned and crossed the bow of
the City of Sydney, the middle boat.
At the same time the Australia, the
outermOst boat, turned toward the
land and went up as if to meet the
Peking The City of Sydney changed
her course toward the southwark and
soon both the Australia and Picking.
The City of Sydney changed her course
toward the southwark and soon both
the Australia and Peking again turn
ed toward port. The pilot boat was
tOwed ahead by the launch OF
the Union Express Company and
was soon alongside the City of Peking
but that steamer was going at too high
rate of speed and passed the pilot
boat She then slowed up and backed
so that the pilot and newspaper men
were able to get aboard. There were
Of course a whole string of questions.
Some of the California boys in the re-
giment aboard the ship, seeing the
large American flag floating over the
railroad wharf thought that a steamer
had arrived here before them and
brought news of annexation.
In a very short time the Peking was
making full speed ahead toward Ho-
nolulu. Six companies of the Califor-
MIA National Guard were sent below
while the other six companies were
drawn up in the line on deck where 1t
was impossible to accommodate any
more men.
In a little while the James Makee
| of the Inter-Island Company came
bounding over the pillows with flags
and pennants flying. The Committee
of 100, the band and officers OF the
National Guard of Hawaii were
aboard As they approached quite
! close to the Peking cheer after cheer
| was given by the enthusiastic people
| aboard and then the band struck up
| in a number of patriotic American
airs. No one aboard the Peking was
! allowed to return the cheers as the
l'soIdiers bows were under strict dis
| ciDline. This however did not dampen
the ardor Of the people aboard the Ma
llee who shouted and waved their hats
in the enthusiasm of their welcome.
A short time afterwards the meI
were told by Colonel Smith that they
could shout and cheer as much as they
pleased. There was no need OF re-
Deatfng this The boys threw up then
hats and cheered as only Americans
can. Then the band of the First Regl
ment at the stern of the vessel played

TRANSPORTS ARRIVE.

The town was set in a fever of ex-
cftement when, at a little after
o'clock yesterday afternoon the boys
at Central office conveyed the message
to thousands of anxious people in the
city that there were three foreign
steamers off Waimanalo. The mes
sage had come from the other side Of
the Island and it was impossible to
tell at the time what the vessels were.
Just three columns of smoke floating
away to the southeast could be distin-
guished 1t was not many minutes
after this, the message came that the
steamers could be seen by Diamond
Head Charley and that they were the
City of Peking, the Australia and an
other steamer that could not be seen
very distinctly.
The fire whistle sounded immedi-
ately the signal of five whistles and in
stantly flags all over the city went up
and carriages and crowds Of pede-
strains went hurrying along toward

the different wharves. They had
long wait but they were not in the
least fatigued for they were on the tip
toe of expectancy and talked gaily.
There has not been in many years
such commotion in this city as the
news created.
Even the pilot boat with the three
pilots and a number of press men from
town and from San Francisco, started
out about a half hour before it was
really necessary. The newspaper men
were armed with cameras and note
books. two very dangerous instru-
ments. The pilot boat was forced to
continue on the trip out past Diamond
Head before the steamers came IN
sight. OF in the distance toward the

Ayers First War Record.

In September, 1864, Col. Alger and
his regiment were in the Shenandoah
Valley taking part in Sheridan's great
campaign against Jubal Early.
About the first of the month Col.
Alger applied for ten days leave of abb
sence. The application was disap-
proved and returned by his division
commander, Gen. Wesley Merritt, be-
because of the active operations then
in progress. Upon the return of his
application for leave disapproved, Col.
Alger left his regiment and went to
Washington without leave. There he
procured a detail on court martial
duty in that city.
This fact was reported 10 Gen. Mer-
rift, who reported it in turn to Gen.
Sheridan, who brought the matter to
the attention Of the War Department
recommending that Col. Alger be dis
nonorably discharged for being absent
without leave.
In consequence of that recommen-
dation from Philip H. Sheridan, Col
Russell A. Alger was discharged from
the service on Sept. 20, 1864.
The incident terminated his mill
tary career. After the war was over
he procured in some way the brevet
of brigadier- and Major Gen.
eral of Volunteers.
