Yesterday the nurses attached
TO the U. s. hospital service in
Honolulu were made happy by
the receipt of their pay for several
months past. As was reported
exclusively in the BULLETIN, upon
the departure Of the Australia, the
nurses had ground for becoming
impatient over a long delay in
paying their wages. Major Wood
gave satisfactory explanation of
the matter, saying at the same
time the difficulty was likely soon
to be remedied. This promise
has happily been realized,
not only pleasing the nurses but a
number of business people who
had given them credits.
