Board Of Health Arrangements.
The familiar Board of Health guard
was missed from his accustomed box
stool on the water front this morning.
There was nothing for Captain Camp
bell TO Go but enjoy a vacation, instead
of wandering about the wharves seeing
that guards were in their places, and
there were no sprinklers of disinfectant
on hand to squirt killing mix
lures on the wheels and contents of
every wagon that entered the wharves.
The rat proof poles that have kept YES
sells six feet from the wharVes were
also laid away and people who have
not had a chance to board an island
steamer since December II were able
to step on board without fearing that
a Board of Health man would put the
vessel in quarantine. A few men on
board who had borne up under quar-
antine rather than take serum, were
also able to set foot on shore. The
quarantine was pau, and when the Nip
pom .Maru comes in tomorrow friends
on shore can mix with those on the
steamer as they have not been able to
do for nearly five months.
There is only one little remnant Of
quarantine left and that is at Sar
Francisco. For thirty days more, ac-
cOrding to United States laws, precau-
tions must be taken against Honolulu
but they will not be very serious it is
! thought. There is some question as to
whether some kinds of freight, such as
bananas, may be sent away till after
thirty days fumgating would spoil
them.
RUSH AT WILDERS.
The raising of quarantine along the
| tar In, of
! freight to the Wilder wharves, where
! the steamers Claudine and Lehua and
schooner Golden Gate are loading for
Maui and Hawaii ports. BY half past
six this morning there was big block
ade of trucks at Likelike and Kinau
wharves and later in the morning over
nfty trucks with loads were standing
idle at a time, awaiting turns to go on
| the wharves and discharge their
freight. 1t was mostly Japanese goods.
All oriental freight has been tabu for
many weeks and the Japanese mer-
chants got up early to get stun on the
steamers. Chinese merchants also sent
many truckloads to the front. The
Claudine goes on the Kinau's run, at
. o'clock this afternoon, the Kinau be-
ing laid up. The Claudine will take
lover 700 tons of freight and large list
lcf passengers who ARE grasping the
first opportunity of travelling without
taking serum.
INTER-ISLAND
At the Inter-Island Company's
wharVeS the day was quiet one. Most
of the fleet arrived on Saturday and
Sunday with loads of sugar, which was
being discharged this morning in the
stream or at railroad wharf. The
steamers will be loading tomorrow and
the foot of Fort street will then have its
blockade. All of the Inter-Island steam
eTs except the Iwalani, Noeau and Wal
aleale are in port, so that the company
will be able to send out big fleet.
The employees of the Inter-Island
Steamship company will be given a lu-
au tomorrow afternoon on the COM
pany's wharf, as a celebration of the
close of quarantine, and mark of ap-
preciation of the faithful work of those
who stayed with their unpleasant jobs
all through the long confinement OF
board the vessels. The luau is given
by President John Ena Of the company
who is about to leave for the coast
BY tomorrow afternoon those of tho
: Inter-Island steamers that are absent
now will very likely show up.
The wharf is to be decorated for Tho
occasion and the band will be there tC
help in livening the entertainment
There will be a spread that will almos
make the boys wish for another period
of quarantine.
