awaited and at sunset the steamers,
which had finished loading, went out
side and anchored at the quarantine
station off Kakaako About 6 O'Clock
DR.. Peterson went to the Lehua,
which, with George Hons aboard, was
awaiting permission to leave. She
was the first to get away. Permission
was granted later for the Hall, Maui
and Makee to leave. Yesterday was
not very busy day on the front, but |
today promises to keep the pilots and |
harbor masters on the jump. Three |
vessels are ready for sea and will leave |
unless something very unexpected |
happens; and there is a lot of shifting !
to be done among the vessels along |
side and in the stream.
A Special Trip.
The United States tug Iroquois left
last evening for Kahului and Hilo
with Consul General Haywood, DR..
Carmichael, President Wood of the
Board of Health and A. L. c. Atkinson
on board. The first sop will be at
Kahului, where orders will be issued.
for shipping the sugar of the Island
The two ships last to leave jKahului
had c.ean bills of health and this is
liable to lead to complications upon
their arrival at San Francisco, if the
news of the sickness on Maui reaches
the Coast first. Dr. Carmichael will
make arrangements for the fumigating
of the vessels leaving Maui and Mr..
Haywood is to give directions as to
permits and other necessary matters
concerning the departure of the Amer
lean ships. He will also collect data
regarding the manner of handling SUI
gar for a report of the situation to be
made to the authorities in Washing
ton. After finishing the business at
Maui, the Iroquois will go to Hilo. 1t
is not known when she will return,
but she will probably not be back be-
fore Sunday
The Wakefield's Captain.
Captain Macloon of the Cyrus Wake
field is making his first visit to this
port. He had heard so much of the
Islands and "the Honolulu Lady" that
he concluded to make the trip when
the Wakefield was offered him. The
captain is an old gentleman with snow
white hair and moustache, and appears
to have a very mild disposition; but
he was riled today by the rules of the
quarantine. He had come to see the
3 country, and from his ship, which he
has not left since arrival here, he has
8 received a very good idea of the wa
6 terfront in his immediate vicinity. He
does not appreciate the rule that keeps
9 him six feet from shore and allows his
- freight to land; and he gently remon
strates against the way in which hi
is denied the privilege of having hi
wash sent ashore. He thinks that tn
rats have all left the waterfront, be
cause of the shock they received b.
witnessing the placing of the "a
guards on the ships hawsers.
1T would kill any self-respectin
rat to tell him he could not get abOar
. ship on account of those tin things,
q said the Captain, IAN able-bodied "a
never thinks of boarding ship
means of the hawsers. F. Swims t
the ship and then runs up the side
l ships lines are only used by the oil
" and infirm rats"

United States photographic chart /
