With II.
The following interesting matter Il
taken from Major George Woods Ha
waiian correspondence in the War Cry:
De earf do move" said the old
darkie truly. Annexation is certainly
helping this part of the globe to revolve
more rapidly than heretofore All
round We see Improvements. Already /
have mentioned in this column the drop
in postal rates. and low they are talk
ing about giving Us a house 70 house
delivery. Besides this, our War Crys
now come to the corps direct through
the postofice, which means a great saw
ing of time and work ali around. aud
we shall now be able TO sell them al
most I'D to date instead OF q month or
more behind We also are now able 10
procure and sell our army trade at
New York prices This viii tend To in
crease our show Of uniform and the
spread of the army spirit and its Liter
AZURE So our work is going TO be much
benefited by the change.
The travellers on the kinau the other
evening were also brought TO realize
the present up-to-date tendency in
the islands. When arriving at
Maalaea bay, my destination, 4
searchlight, which had just been pu.
on the steamer, commenced TO throw its
great glare around, looking for the
buoy near which she was TO anchor
landing, also lighting that dangerous
line of surf breaking over the reef, and
its dangers were wildly seen, when ons
OF the ships boats happened to strike
a corner of it and was instantly over
turned and its cargo of freight, etc, lost
in the seething waters.
Such, however. was not my expert
ence. After saying goodbye to Mrs.
Wood, who was going on to Hilo,
got ashore safely and was driven to |
where / found Captain Bam- |
berry just returned from kihei, our |
latest outpost Cadet Mcleod was away |
at the other end of the island, and
didn't see him until the next day.
During my first day before leaving on
the trip had the pleasure Of swearing |
in a new soldier, Japanese boy. he
had been converted number Of |
but never before had had an !
opportunity Of coming in from mis- |
work. He gave every evidence Of sim
certify and knowledge OF the step he
was taking. God bless and keep
Brother Fujiyama!
Spreckelsyille was my first stopping
place again. Here Mcleod Joined US,
having ridden in from Hamakuapok0 }.
some of Bamberry's old comrades, I'm
'ure, would be quite enlightened on
'aufs injunction to become all things
o all men," could they but go round
With him as l have done and see him
ell Japanese War Crys. With a pro-
ound bow he would say "Cambawa"
Good evening"; then producing the
Var Cry, .Toki no koi, kyu Sa gun"
War Cry, Salvation Army. Now run
ling out of his Japanese vocabulary
e would turn to Hawaiian and say,
Elua elima keneta" 1.-TWO for five
ents), and the transaction would be
made. And to hear him sing Jap
nese song! A great man is Bamberry.
Our visitation, ETC., resulted in about
he usual crowd turning out to the
leeting. Our kind friend. Mr.. Lowrie,
gain looked after our temporal needs.
Next morning l took the cars for
lahului, and was quite surprised and
ejoiced when the ticket agent told me
re did not have TO purchase any tick
Is. This courtesy of the company ID
cry much appreciated and will help US
good deal. kahului has un-
ergone a great change for the better
ince my last visit. The rat-proof !
ences are not more, the stores and
are again open for business
nd new buildings are going up ali
yer. Then, too, a new and Important
idustry has been inaugurated-the
regg Car Building Company. As they
ave contracts for seven or eight hun
red cars, it viii mean lot Of work.
There had not been meeting held
i Waihee since my last visit, because
0 hall could be secured, but We were
BILE to hold another meeting in the .
,hool The captain and had a good =
me during the afternoon visiting
nong the natives, reading the '.Kano- =
4 Hou" tNew Testament) and inviting
lem to meeting. ] also had my nrst
xperience selling the ..Toki no Koi" 4
apanese Cry), Wailuku
as my appointment for the week end.
