GRATEFUL.
PASSENGERS
TheSteamer Enterprise
Travellers Thank
the Captain.
In the very rough voyage of the
steamer Enterprise from San Fran
cisco to Hilo, which has been reported
already, Captain Youngren made him
self exceedingly well liked by the pas
sengers for the way he looked after
them and the ship. Before reaching
anchorage they presented him with
neat testimonial, remarkable as such
documents go for saying a great deal
in few words. 1t was signed by F.
T. Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. F. Moses, Mrs.
Chas. Fairer, Mrs. G. V. Sturtevant,
Mrs. C. Wise. Ralph Balding, Mr. Nc
Kenzie and Mr.. Alexander, and reads
as follows:
AT Sea, Steamer Enterprise, Deem
Der IS
After passing through a severe
storm, head winds and heavy weather,
we have reached port and a safe har-
Dor. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That We tender to our
gallant Captain Youngren. his officers
and crew our sincere and earnest
thanks for our safe arrival.
Resolved, That, through their never
varying kindness and courtesy, our trip
has been a most enjoyable and happy
one"
And that was true, for, notwith-
standing the tempestuous weather and
rough sea, there was an almost total
absence of seasickness. even some usu-
ally susceptible to the malady being
immune from its infection throughout
the passage.
Mr. Smith, a son-in-law of Mrs. E.
G. Hitchcock of Hilo, had a tribute
paid to him as the passenger who was
the life of the ship" AT one of the
latest dinners on board he was pre-
sented with gorgeous vegetable bou-
quet. fitting remarks by a fellow-pas-
senger accompanying the gift. The
trophy was constructed by the steward
and was a real work of art. For
center rose piece beet was skilfully
fashioned. Around it cabbage leaves
were gracefully set. and the outer layer
was of celery to represent fronds of
fern.
