Buford returned from Midway yester-
day, entering the harbor shortly after
noon She was locked at the navy
wharf, but her passengers were not
allowed to land for some hours, pend
ing arrangements by the agents for
their accommodation while In Honolulu.
Everybody on board was In a most
happy state Of mind. happy at arriv-
ing once more at peopled port and
glad that the experience of a shipwreck
with as little discomfort as they had
had to undergo had been afforded them.
The passengers had been all taken
aboard without accident of any KIND
on the day following the arrival OF
the Buford at Midway, the steam
launch running steadily in the work
from daybreak until after six O'Clock
IN the evening. Fortunately the sea was
particularly quiet on that day, allow
ing the work to go on without inter-
ruption, although what is called quiet
sea at Midway was alarming enough
to many of the passengers.
During their stay ashore on Midway
the passengers suffered not the slightest
Inconvenience, there having been shell
ter available for all and food In plenty.
Every possible courtesy was extended
to them by the cable operators ana
marines and the days were spent III
fishing, bathing, games and other
amusement.

wreck / ever heard Of is the way one
of the passengers expressed himself.
while one of the stranded young lady
members of the company declared she
would not have missed all that fun for
anything. Only few of the sixty cabin
passengers were on business trips re-
suiring any degree of haste, and even
these yielded to the inevitable with
good grace and bore their part in max
irf; the time pass pleasantly to all.
