wAIANAE TRIP

Good strong trade winds, ON satur-
day last, made il possible To carry out
the proposed cruise 10 Waianae, which
had 90 be abandoned the week pre-
yious. on account Of too light weather.
The Hawaii and the Gladys were
tho only yachts to show up for the
start at O'Clock, but both got away
promptly, though with light crews,
the Hawaii having four for the down
"trip and but two for the return, while
The Gladys carried three for the round
Trip
The day was all that the most en-
thusiastic yachtsman could wish and
the run down In little less than four
hours was one Of the most satisfactory
and comfortable ever taken.
Anchorage was made of Waianae
wharf about dark, and evidently this
anchorage was not selected, original
ly, on account of its perfect quiet, for
the big rollers coming thousands OF
miles without break or hindrance, kept
the boats in constant motion. that
would have proven most trying to any
but a good sailor man. Luckily the
whole party were well seasoned ana
no III effects resulted.
Dinner disposed of, all hands as
sembled In the cabin of the Gladys for
"A pipe and a yarn and spent a cheer
ful hour in telling of the wonderful
things that had not happened to them.
At eight bells all hands turned in
and swells on shore, with an orchestra,
We'd with the swells of old ocean to
WOO the tired but happy yoyagers 10
rest. The music from the Hotel de
Waianae, where farewell reception
was being given TO DIR. Sinclair, was
plainly audible and was a pleasant ad-
junct.
Breakfast over. the next morning
msty calls for "Japanee" brought "A
small boat to take on those OF the
party who preferred patronizing the
.. X. 4 l.. Co. for the return trip, to
bucMng the sea for thirty odd miles
The start home with the yachts was
made promptly at $50, but half an
hour later a "Paddy's hurricane put
a stop to all proceedings, that even the
assembled legal talent could not break
and for two hours the little yachts
went whittier they pleased. The
Gladys, luckily for her, being about
quarter of a mile in advance, was the
first 10 catch the breeze and was hui
down before the Hawaii got steerag'
way on. From that time to the home
moorings, no fault could be- found witt
either wind or water and the balance
ot the trip was one continual delight
Both yachts made long taclNs, run
ming nearly or quite ten miles TO SCI
on the first one and shortening then
up as they neared Honolulu, WHERE
they met many Of the other boats tina
were out for short trips, or returning
from Pearl HarDor.
Six hours work, close hauled ant
with good seas running, resulted II
a good honest tired feeling, whicl
apart from any mental eXertiOn, in
sures sound slumber and good appe
lite. The entire trip can be put dow
as a complete success, the only draw
back being that there were not NOR
Of the boats and boys along TO en-
Joy It.
THE BONNIE.

Bonnie, until after his return from
Washington, where he will proDabl
be called in connection with the Com

Capt. Oscar White handles the Bon

the President will leave her In hi
charge, instead of putting her out o
commission for an indefinite period.
Other yacht owners here have foun

boats up for any length OF time an

of the Honolulu feet to be spared.
