was crossed. Trades then followed.
and the vessel made good progress on
her long journey. Vhe Horn was
rounded without incident. and the
balance OF the journey to Honolulu
was sometimes aided by strong. ia
vorable winds Very little rough
weather was encountered throughout
the entire voyage.
This is not the first visit OF the
Packard 20 this port. although IL
was several wears ago that the ship
touched here. The vessel appeared
the model OF neatness and cleanliness
when she reached her dock. Her brass
work bore a fine polish. and the decks
were as clean as water and pumice
could make them. Her spaFs. sails
and rigging showed much care and la

crew In shoveling the coal. in order
TO prevent the cargo from becoming
overheated and resulting in spontan-

Since his visit to this port Captain

the years agone. Captain Aliens two
sons accompany the Packard as
mates. The colored crew succeeded
in making the weikin ring with their
Darktown melodies while engaged IN
work about the vessel.
