yesterday morning at $50 from the

eight passengers for Honolulu. She
carried the smallest list of through
passengers she has had for many trips.
The time from Sydney to Honolulu was
fifteen days, fifteen hours and fifty-two
minutes. Among the through passen-
gers was DR.. A. NJ. Vollner. American

sumption. Major E. Witt is a German
army officer who is travelling for
pleasure.

an hour on the dock, Kapellmeister
Berger giving some OF the latest Coast

parture of the steamer and almost ev-
cry local departing passenger was lad
Ell with leis
Among those leaving were Mr.. and
Mrs w G. Irwin, Mrs. Ivers, Miss
Helene Irwin and Miss Margaret Hyde
Smith. Miss Irwin and Miss Hyde
Smith were the center of a group of
admirers as they stood on the upper
deck and the most fragrant of flowers
were showered upon them. The young
ladies have spent the entire summer In
Honolulu at the Irwin mansion at wal

of much social attention. Miss Irwin

all laden with leis.
