out of San Francisco the gale blew
so heavily that we made no progress
at all, which was due principally to our

Dhu were beating off the bar on &C

apparently not anxious to cross in.

favorable from a passengers stand
point l could not see anything dan>
lgerous so crossed in without mishap.

last voyage witnessed another series
OF applause from the press and public
of Honolulu and Hilo. and I believe

to make it a success. and if the ven
ture proves a failure it will not be the
fault of the Matson Navigation Cons
pany."
