the harbor yesterday ali day
1 long. Early In the morning
the vessels began moving
ing. and By noon quite feet mad de-
parted on thar voyages 70 San Fran
cisco and the Sound 81 noon time
the biz transport Thomas sailed for
Manila There was a great number Of
people on the Navy wharf to see her
away and during the time she was
pulling out from the wharf much en-
thuslasm prevailed among the depart
ing teachers and their friends al the
vessels side
As the big boat pulled out into the
stream the teachers sang college songs
and cheered Honolulu and her citizens
The people on the wharf echoed the
cheers from the steamer and threw
leis aud flowers aboard. There we're
more cameras in use at the departure
OF the Thomas than az any steamer
that has left this port in many day
On the boat there we're scores pointed
AZ the crowd on the wharf and the
people on the wharf were also armed
and doing deadly execution with theil
little photograph machines. Just as
the steamer was al the end OF the slip
one OF the sailors who had tarried
uptown longer than he should rushed
onto tho wharf and seeing that the
vessel was away grabbed the bow
line which was Just being cast on and
his mates pulled him aboard. On the
way ND the side big black bottle
was seen 10 drop from his pocket II
was quickly grabbed by the native
boys In the water swimming around
for nickels aud until the bottle was
drained Of its contents the little swim
mers were not so anxious for the small
coins that might have been thrown &c
them. Several pictures we're taken
OF the man as be went up the
rope and there was great cheer as
he gained the deck.
In the afternoon the harbor and the
oHinE presented a very pretty marine
picture. The schooner Aloha on her
way 70 San Francisco was beating up
to windward with all sails set. The
steamer Aorangi and the gunboat Ben
nington were just OF the harbor wait
ing for the quarantine physician the
gunboat Petrol was on her way out of
the harbor and the barkentInes Arago
and John Smith were leaving for the
Coast The former was in tow of the
Fearless and the latter vessel sailed
out with all sails set. AS the Petrol
passed the Remington she was cheer
ed by the crew of the latter and the
departing vessel responded with
hearty cheer.
The little schooner Mokihana played
quite part in the afternoons do
lBgs and got closer to two war yes
sells than il has ever been her luck to
be before. As she was leaving the
channel she made connections with
the Petrol and the latter had to be
stopped TO avoid a serious collision
Then when the vessels became ua-
tangled and the officers of the gun
boat and the crew of the Mokihana had
used some rather strong language
about each other both proceeded on
their WAYS. on the harbor some
thing went wrong with the Mokihana's
main sail and the wind dying down she
drifted about and nearly got in the
war Of the Bennington on her way
into the channel That vessel had also

the little schooner to pieces, The
