Australia by way of Honolulu, Samoa
and New Zealand. A remnant of the
League of Cross Cadets band played
lively airs on the wharf for an hour or
so before the liner took her departure.
The band was there to serenade Err
nest Williams, leader of the organiza-
rion, who is going to Australia to buy
musical instruments to replace the ones
lost in the fire. Williams was armed
with a -cornet, and for every tune the
band played he replied with 500.
Among the Sonoma's passengers were
many colonials When the band played
Ny Country. 'Tis Of Thee" they
thought the Yankee musicians were
playing God Save the King" as a
compliment TO them The tunes are
identical and as the last note died

cheers for. the land they were leaving.
