Saturday, are going along swimming
: ly- Captain Clarence Macfarlane stat
ed yesterday that it was a good thins
r that he had his little indisposition be
have been impossible to have got the
yacht in shape by the time originally
set for leaving. AS it is there will be
enough work to keep all hands busy
up to the very last minute
The little craft is lying at the Bishop
wharf and all day yesterday stores
We're being loaded aboard her. This
in itself is quite an undertaking, for
where it can be readily found and no
topsy-turvy work goes. Every nook
and corner of the yacht is being util-
lied for storage purposes and judging
aboard, the ships company will have
| no complaint to make on the score of
| living. A very compIetelyf furnished
medicine chest is included in the
| stores, as is a choice collection of
reading matter.
The sails We're bent on Wednesday
and We're found to fit very satisfac-
torily
Today the remainder of the four
hundred gallons of water will be taken
in and the rest of the stores, and the
spare sails slowed away. The mem
hers of the crew will take their wear
ing apparel aboard and by sunset the
work of readying La Paloma for her
long voyage will be complete.
The ships company will consist of:
Captain and sailing master, Clarence
w. Macfarlane; navigator and mate,
Captain Fred Mosher; seamen, Chas. |
o. Spinnie, Sam; cabin boy, James
CRUDE; cook, w. Pangelly.
Captain Mosher is an old time COM
mander of the inter-island fleet and |
more capable navigator it would be
impossible to find.
Chas. Spinnie has for long been one !
of Sorenson & Lyles most valuable
hands and is we'll known in connec- |
ton with his work on the marine rail-
way. He is at home aboard any kind
of a vessel and is a flrst-class sailor |
in every respect.
Sam, the other sailor. is a Samoan !
who has been a sailor on many of the I
island steamers and has besides made !
several voyages in deep water vessels.
He is reliable and, fearless and looks
on the voyage to San Francisco as a
pleasure trip.
James CRUDE, the cabin-boy, is
machinist and jack f-all-trades with
a distinct hankering after the sea. He
has been working as a machinist with /
the Washington Light Company for
some time past
Pangelly, the cook, is the son OF
well-known local family and is said to
be a genius in the culinary line. AL
together it looks like a happy family
which will take La Paloma to San
Francisco.

La Paloma will be pulled over to the
Kfnau wharf at the foot of Nuuanu
street where she will lie until the time
for her departure comes round. Two
