| reason Of his having been in the Sa-
moan hurricane in 1889 when the AneH-
lean warships Trenton, Vandalia and
Nipsic We're terribly battered. The
Nipsic was towed up from Samoa as
far as Tanning Island, rudderiess, and
in very bad shape The Alert left her
| there at anchor and came to Honolulu
| for coal. Returning, she towed the
| battered Nipsic safely to port. Lieut..
! Commander Lyon was in command Of
| the Nipsic. Old timers remember when
| the Nipsic was placed on the Marine
| Railway and the good times aboard the
! vessel during the nine months she re-
| NAMED there. The dances and recep-
tons aboard the Nipsic viii be re-
! membered as social events par excel
lence. While repairs were being made
on the vessel the officers made every
effort to give Honolulu society the time
of their lives. There are hundreds of
dance cards of the old Nipsic in many
Honolulu homes today, treasures of the
old navy's past.
There was a telephone line to the
, Nipsic in those days and oftentimes it
got out of order Lieut.. Commander
Lyons theory for its failure to work
at such times was about as follows:
''Oh, the ladies Of Honolulu send SO
much taffy over the wire tc the Off
GERS that it has become sticky and the,
sea moss has got tangled up it,"
