MARINE


The cableship Restorer has received
orders to go to sea and will sail on
from Honolulu for probably three
months. The Restorer while away will
undergo her usual annual survey.
Leaving Honolulu she will first proceed
to Midway, taking B. w. Colley, the
superintendent of the Midway cable
station and his wife back to that is
land. After landing these passengers,
the Restorer will be headed for Van
couver, where the vessel, will be put
into drydock and overhauled.
In preparation for the trip the Re-
storer is now lying at the railroad
wharf, taking on coal and provisions.
|BABCOCK MEN HAVE RAPID RE-
COVERY.
Only one of the sailors from the ship
out of the several who went there to
be treated for scurvy and various
other things. The rest of the crew is
about town telling tales of their hard
ships which their looks do not bear out.
That some of them have recovered at
all is a convincing proof of the purity
and cura tive qualities of Honolulu
booze.
Whisky and hot air seem to be the
specially of the ex-Babcocks, the first
for inspiration, the other for exhala-
ton. One of them secured his con-
valescent papers from the hospital be
cause he not only kept drunk himself
While in the ward but passed his bottle
around among the other patients dur
ing any temporary absences of the
nurses, with the consequence that the
clinical thermometers didn't go high
enough to keep track of the tempera-
lures in that ward. Another Babcock-
err went on a spree on Friday and Ian
guished in the Bastile until he was
bailed out last night by another MEM
Der of the crew When the friend in
need appeared at the station it was
toss-up with the police whether to lock
up the aforementioned friend as anoth-
er drunk or to take his money and let
the prisoner out with him on BAIL
In the meanwhile the ship is lying
in the stream in charge of the Z. S.
Marshal and Captain Stinson does not
know when she will get away.

SAGE.

The Enterprise encountered rough
weather during her trip down from the
Coast, losing about $50 tons OF her
deck cargo, live poultry. fruits and
other holiday wares. The heavy seas
breaking on her decks also smashed
in the skylights over the social hail.
