How Gray Became a Datto.

It seems that the old time story of the
civilized citizen who became a. chief in
the South Sea Islands has come true
again This time the setting is in the
Island of Paragua which is one of the
Moro group The name of the man is
given as Gray. and as the story goes, he
was born in the State of Delaware and
left this country as sailor He was
shipwrecked and after many adventures
he landed in Ara bia. He became con
vert to Islamism and again followed the
sea for a living. Again fortune was ap-
parently unkind to him, for he was ship
wrecked for a second time. this time at
the Island of Paragua. He made himself
generally useful. and after all his ad-
ventures he had become proficient n
tbs languages of that part of the world
BY entering into island politics he became
very influential. and time he attained TO
the rank of datto with all of the ali-
thority of chief He was there at last

A MOONLIGHT
WATER FETE
YACHTSMEN PLAN ILLUMINA-
TIONS AND MUSIC FOR CRUISE
ON FIFTEENTH.

Chris Johnson will have one of the
new boats being built for members by
the yacht club finished in time for the
next moonlight cruise. The little
craft built on lines suggested by Com
modOre Hebron and the boat builder are
somewhat of the skipjaCk type They
have been enormously named by those
not en- rapport with nautical matters,
runabouts but do not belong to that
class rather furnishing one of their
own, as they are fitted with a standing
lug with a single halyard. The class
will probably be named 'skipabouts."
They will be named from a list of ma
tive fishes, all names to consist of four
letters, such as ulua.
1t has been suggested that these skip
abouts be fitted with tan sails of differ
ent shades. These sails are very pictu-
rescue and the dye is a preservative.
They are painted white with yellow
decks. The cockpit reaches well for
ward with a narrow coaming and the
craft will carry eight without too much
inconvenience. The centerboards are
wood with metal weighing. The rud-
ders are effective weighing. Johnson is
doing excellent work on the boat.
The next moonlight cruise will start
today week All the boats will join
the fleet at Pearl Harbor for the regular

be introduced on this cruise by having
a launch chartered for the purpose of
towing the smaller craft around all
the lochs after supper. This will take
some two hours and every nook of the
inland waters will be visited by moon
light.
Musicians will be pressed into service
and many of the boats will be ornamen-
ted with Japanese lanterns so that the
procession will assume the proportion
and appearance of a Venetian water
fete. Further particulars will be issued
later.
