Honolulu and Manila, Aug. Is, 1901
Dear Mother. Brothers and Sisters:
Before events get dim with age will
commence to pen you few minor
events concerning the last few days.
We stopped at Honolulu on the isle OF
Oahu as wrote you, but did not get
around as much as had hoped would.
However, am glad we stopped at all
if only to say was once there. We
sighted Diamond Head quite soon in
the morning and exchanged signals,
for just around that point is the city.
We came off the harbor and stopped
our ship to receive on board the pilot,
who was q pleasant, whiskered old
gentleman. A rope ladder with wooden
steps was lowered on which he mounted,
his hands grasping two ropes which
we're fastened on deck and as he rose q
step at a time he would have to make
quick grab to reach the rope farther
up. His body WAS at an angle OF from
As to 60 degrees while mounting and
swaying from side to side. He came
out in row-boat. He was no sooner

the quarantine launch coming toward
us, for we were now flying yellow

last time the Fitzpatrick was there she
had on board some smallpox patients
and was held in quarantine eight days.
After inspection we proceeded up the
narrow harbor with our own steam.
Near the dock we were met by native

construction of very many sharp curves.

while passing around one of these
numerous angles, see men on the rear
platform smoking cigarettes. The soil
on the mountain sides is red and from
one to two feet thick judging from the
excavations made. The rock is brown
color and very porous. 1t reminded
me very much OF piece of broken
taffy. AS I said the road is made of
rock which is built out and above the
side and then a low stone wall is laid
all along the edge. This makes a sort of
railing so if car should jump Off the
track it would probably not play leap
frog with itself down the bluff. Only
one pole is used to suspend the trolley
wire. 1t is placed quite close to the
track
1t is peculiar about the mists. The
mountain tops seem to be continually
covered with light clouds and as we
were going up we passed through sew

saw so many rainbows 30 nearly com

air became cooler as we assembled and
