CRIMP TRIED TO
STEAL A CAPTAIN
Promised Him $40 q Month Job
and Continual Luau in His
Boarding House.

There is a crimp on the waterfront
as to whom he attempts to make de-
sert from sailing ship. This man has
a boarding house for sailors and fur
nishes crews to vessels needing them.
The boarding house is situated down
Kakaako way. There are hunks for
the boarders. They get their meals at
restaurant down there at an expense
of $2.75 a week for the crimp, and d
much heavier expense to themselves
when they finally get an advance check
from the master of the vessel on which
the crimp puts them.
The Kakaako crimp boarded the
French bark Champigny, which was
lying at the Naval wharf Captain
Bogue was standing near the fo'cs'le
head. The sailor-stealer thought that
the skipper was a seaman, and imme-
diately accosted him.
Say" said the crimp, ARE you go
ing out with this ship?"
The skipper did not quite understand,
but the man from the shore ratified
cut:
"Say; youse better chuck this. I can
get you a job on ship that'll pay you
$50 month. That's hundred ard
twenty francs in your money, mate.
Do you savoy? More money than this
brig will pay you in ten years. You
can stay on shore awhile. You don't
need no money. Get your bag and
come over the side. Don't wait for
your money. l won't charge you any
thing for board. 1 get paid by the ship
put you on. I've got place to keep
you; nice room, nice bed, and lots of
feed You'll have a continual luau
there; plenty of booze and stuff that
helps sailor like youse and me to
enjoy ourself.'
The crimp was winded. The skipper
did not know what was wanted of him.
He called man who could speak
English, and asked him to interpret.
81 can get you a better job said
the Grim; just parlivoo that to him.
The sailor did as directed. The an
swer of the skipper was that he had
good job.
''Parlivoo that have a better enc
much better-and chance to stay
ashore awhile"
This was also ''parlivood.'
Better throw up this old tub of
Dago,'' said the crimp as he slapped
the skipper friendly greeting over
the back.
The skipper did not get angry. The
sailor laughed. Then the French Cap
tain asked:
"Are you a ship owner?"
NO. says the orimp; ''but 1 own
the whole bloomin' waterfront of this
town.
The sailor thought the comedy had
gone far enough He told the crimp
that he was speaking to sic capitaine
of the French bark Champigny,' and
that the skipper had his young wife
aboard.
The crimp does not know what the
word ''vamoose'' in French sounds
like for he was over the side of that
vessel and racing up towards the wharf
gate before the skipper had time to
utter it. And this explains how the
bark managed to-leave Honolulu with
out having any trouble with her crew,
as after such an exciting experience
the crimp fraternity gave the vessel
wide berth.

jap Longshoremen Live ohe.ply.

Japanese longshoremen probably live
as cheaply as any class of laborers in
Honolulu. They are employed on the
heaviest of stevedoring work, that OF
ballasting and removing ballast from
sailing ships, yet the amount that it
takes to keep them is very small. They
get board and room in japanese ho-
tel for about 81 a month, or about %
cents a day. The dinners they usually
bring to the wharves for the noon hour
consists simply of a small pail of rice
and a bottle OF cold tea. although at
times small bits of meat or fish are
added to this diet
The Nan With the Ancbo or Charm.
A familiar figure on the waterfront
is a japanese, a mild hammered little
man, who wears loud checked clothing
and a small gold anchor as a watch
charm. This Jap does a thriving bus
mess with sailors. In a red handker-
chief he carries a couple of small boxes
of photographs of Island views, which
he sells to sailors at large prices He
takes the views himself, and develops
and prints his own pictures. so that
the. cost is small and his profits CORE
spondingly large.
