The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-12-17

yesterday by the lookout at Diamond
Head; no vessels entered the harbor ex-
Icept three of the Island steamers-the
lCIaudine from Maui ports, the Mika-
hala from Nawiliwili and the Iwalani
from Kukuihaele.
Nor did any ships leave port. The
lharbor was as quiet as could be and a
Sunday peace, accentuated by the alb
lsence of the coming in or going out of
ocean steamships or deep-water sailing
vessels, held the waterfront in it's gen.
tie grasp.
The tug Fearless lay idle all day at
her berth at the Navy wharf, the tug
Eleu did not move from her mornings
at the end of Wilder's wharf and the
waterfront was for the most part for
saken by all who usually have business
there.
| On a few of the Island steamers ly
ing at their wharves some Of the crew
were on deck entertaining friends, en-
Toying the music of the guitar, mando-
lin or ukelele and singing pleasant
songs to while away the welcome hours

way places, near the coal piles, in the
lumber yards or in some corner on one
of the wharves, sad to relate, quiet

ers who were not recreating in other
parts Of the city were comfortably
lensconced in easy chairs on the decks
of their vessels or where, on week days,

their labors, smoking reflective pipes

lple who make the waterfront a prone
made on Sundays and it is not at all an
uncommon thing to see persons decked
lout in their Sunday best, taking a walk
lalong the front, looking at the various
lships. going aboard some of them and
Ienjoying themselves as much as if they
Iwere on jaunt in the park or witness
ing some grand procession. To these
Ipeople, the majority of whom are en-
Iployed all the week in the stores and
business houses and around town gen
lerally. anything to do with the sea has
a charm that entertains and is the
source of a great deal of genuine pleas
ure. They find in the visiting of vessels
from all parts of the world delight
which is as much of a recreation to
them as it is to a sailor to walk around
a town after a long voyage at sea, TAX
ing in all the many different sights
which city affords.
Counting couples are sometimes to be
found on the waterfront, on Sunday
afternoons and affectionate pairs may
often be seen wandering along the
lwharves. gazing out to sea and discuss
ing the future with an earnestness be-
ltokening their utter Indifference 70
everything else that is going on around
them.
Now and then the white wings of
graceful little yachts relieve the mo-
notony of the harbor and pleasure par
ties in row boats often seek pastime
on the waters of the bay.
