Happy Times on the Lawton.
notwithstanding the fact that the
United States army transport Lawton,
which arrived here from NagaSaki on
Sunday with a couple of, cases of
smallpox on board, is in quarantine in
| the stream, the soldiers of the Thirty
ninth Infantry on the vessel seem to
! be making the best of the circum-
J stances. Una BILE to get ashore in the
/ Paradise of the Pacific and take in the
charms that this country has to offer
to the traveller, as we'll as the resident,
the troops are passing away the time
as best they can, satisfying their
curiosity concerning Honolulu by cast
ing longing giances at the handicapped
hills and Verdant valleys or Oahu.
/ They indulge much in music. Last
night the still waters or the harbor
and the southwesterly winds combined
to carry the sweet strains of the Thir-
| ty-ninth Regiment band from the
| decks of the transport to the ears of
! those ashore. 1t was good music, anG
! there was plenty of it,
The Dorlc in Quarantine.
The Occidental and Oriental Compa-
nv or he Orianf
| was sighted yesterday evening at $50
| o'clock. She arrived off port a little
! over an hour afterwards and awaited
! the doctor and pilot.
| While fair-siZed crowd was waiting
| on the Pacific Mail wharf to see her
enter port, and stevedores and officials
We're preparing for her arrival inside,
it was learned that she would not be
! permitted to enter port that night The
result of the visit of the quarantine
officials to the steamship was the dis
covery that she had a case of small
pox aboard. The consequence was that
she was quarantined.
! Many people were anxious to know
at what time the steamer was TO sail
| for the Coast as they had much mail
| to prepare. The first question asked
of those supposed to know, when
steamship is about to enter port, is:
When will she -sail?" This invariably
No one is ever satisfied with the fact
! that steamer is about to arrive (they
don't wait until her ARRIVAL, but they
are on pins and needles until they
| have been informed as to the time of
her departure.
Steamer twenty miles east" tele-
phones the lookout at Diamond Head.
What time does she sail from this
port?" is the first question asked by
the majority. This is not the only
question asked, however.
| Last night a patient customs official
on the Pacific Mail wharf tried to an
| swer about seventy questions in thirty
minutes without losing his temper.
The questions were something as fol-
lows:
What time does that vessel outside
sail fer the Coast?'
Where is she from?" rs she coming
in tonight, % Why isn't she2" rs there
gone out-<where is the pilot?" Has
she got passengers for Honolulu"
How much freight has she?' ''Oh,
what steamer is she, anyhow
The polite and patient customs Off
cial stood this kind of thing over and
over again for most of his watch. The
| funny part of it all is that not one
in forty who bothered the officer with
! their questions had the remotest busI-
ness with the vessel, and probably
wouldn't care if a steamer never was
sighted.
Island Steamers Off Port.
Last night Wilder's steamers Helene
and Kaiulani arrived off port from Ha-
| vail. The Kaiulani came conveying
the Helene, the latter steamer having
injured her rudder during heavy
weather at Laupahoenoe, in such a
way that it could be moved only with
| great difficulty. For this reason 1t
was thought best to send the Kaiu
lani along to Honolulu with the Hell
enc, to see that nothing further hap
pened as the result of the damaged
| rudder. She was to act as CONVOY
| to the Helene. When the vessels were
sighted last night, however, the Kaiu-
lani was towing the Helene
The Helene injured her rudder by
swinging in shore and knocking it on
a rock at Laupahoehoe, during heavy
weather.
