The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-10-28

Congratulations were poured upon
the Oio. and condolences offered for
the accident which had befallen the
Skip. Moorings were made close up to
the stone wall and dock fronting the
salt house, and close in shore, and af-
ter slowing sails, the three small tend
ers of the fleet were kept busy in trans
ferring the crews around "visitin',"
and to the shore.
PUULOA CAMP.
Puuloa is a perfect site for yacht
ing clubs headquarters, but the salt
house location will not be available un-
til it is definitely ascertained what the
United States government intends do
ing In the matter of purchasing it for
Notifications. Several Of the members
looked over a site adjoining, toward
Waiau, which has fairly good anchor
age in front and, would do very well
for the clubs quarters.
AS soon as the boats were tidied up,
planks were run from the shore to the
Clytie and the Dewey and the Vi-ke
and Shamrock came close in TO them.
The amusement began almost immedi-
ately. Those who ventured across the
plank did SO at their peril. Efforts
We're made to dislodge each one going
over, and finally Horace Craft made
a wild dash across, only to be bounced
off and into the water, whence
he was dragged out, but without his
spirits dampened in the least. Prince
David endeavored to pull q plank on to
his boat, and took header into the
swim. Later on a noisy party which
was visiting, including M. Brooks, Geo.
Henshall, Arthur Wilder and Ollie
Sorenson, got into tiny boat, and
down it went toward the bottom, ard
so the fun went on. The quintet club

the evening.
The caterers, under the direction of
Port Captain Roth, prepared 81 supper
of chowder, stewed pig, several kinds
OF drinka bles, and in the glare of the
torches it was served.
After supper an impromptu concert
was gotten up under the direction of
T. NJ. Brooks and A. r. Cunha, con-
sisting of high jinks and speeches, and
time was not allowed to drag. Commo-
'dore Hebron said that he trusted r."
interest in yachting would be sincere,
and that the start just made with the
Hawaii Yacht Club would be one of the
permanencies of the Islands. L. a.
Thurston grew reminiscent, telling Of
yachting to Pearl Harbor in the 70's,
and told of several fine courses inside
the reef from Pearl Harbor to the
Point, and the rough weather course
around Ko5o Head way. He wanted
to see the club put on permanent
basis and said that he hoped it would
be built up from the smaller craft first,
leading up to the larger and finer
yachts.
Arthur Wilder, one of the most sin
cere Of the aquatic enthusiasts of Ho-
nolulu, hoped for great things from the
club, and wanted to see it grow in
membership James Dougherty sang
to the accompaniment Of Prince Cupid,
Sonny" Cunha entertained in his own
way. Towards midnight a few of the
wise ones retired for the night, and
quiet settled over the camp by a. m.
During the night the Hihimanu went
to the Peninsula and did not return.
The Oio went up for the night, and re-
turned yesterday morning for the Ford
Island race Breakfast was served at
o'clock, after which the commodore
signalled for colors, and the club pen
nant, red, with stars set in a blue cir
Gle, went tluttering to the top Of every
mast head.
The Myrtle and Pirate came down 10
Puulca from Honolulu early in the
morning, and the yaChtsmen had IN
opportunity to witness a splendid bat
tie They started out well together,
the Pirate in the lead, and the same
positions We're held all the way down,
