THEY WILL LEAVE HONOLULU
NOVEMBER 8.
But They Will Come Back-They are
Only Going for a Vacation-Return
with the Sugar Season.
Turk and Lewis are going away.


They are going to leave Honolulu.
They are booked for the Mariposa due
to sail for San Francisco November
p. They announce personally that
they are going away, and the booking
sheet of the Mariposa confirms their
statement
They are not going until after cleo
tion, however. They want to wait so
as to be able to vote and otherwise
assist in the election of Sam Parker
and a Republican Legislature. They
went into the game of politics early.
In fact they organized the first Re-
publican club in Honolulu. The con-
troll of the club was taken away from
them by others, and in various ways the
Republican party in the Islands has
not shown cordial response to their
political and organizing efforts. But
still they are Republicans. Turned
down at Murray's Hall and at the
Republican primaries, they still re-
mained true to Mckinley and Roose-
welt, grieving perhaps that the par
ty had fallen upon such evil days in
this territory, but still confident that
the party was too great to be wrecked
by their banishment from active par
ticipation in it's direction.
So though they are determined to
leave the territory, they will not go
until after election and they have

BUT TURK AND LEWIS WILL
COME BACK.
"Oh, we're just going for a little va
cation" said Turk. You know your
self everything's pretty much dead on
the water front now. Only a few deep
water vessels are coming in. And as
for these coasters going back ari

| there aint much business in them any
way. The sugar season won't begin
until after the first of the year, and
Wen be back in time for that.
We've worked pretty hard the time
we've been here, and even if people do
think we wear horns, we want a little
rest. So we thought we'd just take
| trip up to the coast and be back here
| in time for business when the business
in our line picks up.
81 don't know just how this towns

| don't mean in the matter of shipping
sailors. l suppose as long as there's
nothing doing in the sailor business
Brother Bray can hold the job down
as well as anyone. But me and Lewis
have figured out that since we have
been here we have been good for about
an average of one newspaper story
week that the public seemed to enjoy.
! We've been good producers in that line,
sure. Why actually, l believe half the
| people in town who never saw us think
we have horns, and that when we take
off our hats, all we have to do is to
hang 'em on one of our horns, like
hat rack, and we are ready to sit down
| to dinner.
But we aint so bad, now, takin' it
all round. Sailors is a peculiar class
of people, and nobody can handle 'em
who don't understand 'em and can't
get right with 'em. Now 1 mightn't
be able to do the pastoral work of Cen
! tral Union church, not at least until
| 1 had learned the business, and so 1t
| is with our business; maybe DR.. Kin
| caid couldn't run the sailor business,
not until he'd learned how. And may
| be when l read this and that ABOUT
Central Union church, or hear this and
| that about it, not understandin' the
business. 1 think, well that's pretty
raw work. or well that preacher up
there is a rum cove When maybe If
understood the works, l would see II

business had to be done.

read about something we done, or that

about it and not understandtl the busl-
ness they say, just as l might, wen
them guys is playin' a pretty strong
hand and they calls us beach-combers'
and crimps and whole lot or other
things that they don't know what IL
means but they think it means that
we're all wrong. But IL they knew the
business as we know it, and as every
sea captain knows it, they'd see 1t was
all right, and right along the lines the
business has got to be done.
"Oh, we aint sore on the newspapers,
though on the dead we have got some
pretty hard roasts, and lot we didn't
deserve But we take it as 1t comes,
and can generally keep up our end
