THE ALL STARS
On CLAUD|NE
Incidents of a Trip Mique
Fisher and His Men
Enjoyed.

HILO, December 9.--It would be i'm
possible to find party of tourists who
could be more pleased with any trip
than the members of the Coast base
bali team, who, under the chaperonage
of Mique Fisher, are now in this city
and preparing to start for the Vol
eano. From first to last, everything
has gone smoothly and the praise that
is lavished on the Claudine and her
Il officers is extravaganza
The weather has been perfect. On
] the way to this city from Honolulu
there has not Seen a detail which was
unpleasant, and the fact that there
was not a single passenger on the In
ter-Island steamer who suffered from
seasickness, shows the good treatment
which Captain Red Dog Deyereaux re-
ceived from the clerk of the weather.
The food and service on the steamer
was of the best. Captain Clark, the
assistant superintendent of the Inter
Island was on board and did his best
to make all feel that they We're at
home and owned the vessel,
I One of the funny incidents of the trip
occurred at Kahului. The passengers

the vessel did not sail for nearly an
hour and, in the meantime, Manager
Fisher decided that he would try his
hand at fishing, Upon request he was
furnished with a heavy line and baited
hooks. He threw the line out at the
stern of the vessel and watched very
carefully for some little time. Not get
ting any bites for some time, he de-
serted his position to talk to some Ia
dies who were on board.
When it came time for the Claudine
to leave, Captain Bennett asked him
to haul in his line, saying that in the.
turn which was to be made. it might
be fouled in the propeller. Fisher inn
medfately started back to pull up his
line. Strange to say everyone on the
boat became suddenly interested. He
pulled in the slack and then 1t began
to come hard. i've got him., he
shouted. Hildebrand, seeing what
hard job 1t was, offered to help but
was roughly pushed away by the base
ball n1agnate who scorned assistance.
L As the last part of the line came
toward the surface Fisher became
, triumphant and chortled in glee, till
he saw large water bucket, which he
had been pulling against a strong cur
rent, appear on the surface. The
chorus of remarks which greeted him
at this time was little too strong and
he soon retired to the cabin and kept
out of sight till the incident had been
forgotten in some new amusement.
When the Claudine left Honolulu
harbor there was hardly a swell and
this calm condition lasted through the
trip the first stop, being very short
one, made at Lahaina. Early Saturday
morning Kahului was reached and the
majority of the party left the Claudine
on the first boat, not waiting for
breakfast. At this point Ernest kaal
and his quintet club, who were bound |
for Puunene to play at the wedding or |
Miss Charlotte Baldwin, left the eau /
dine The evening before they played /
and sang until late in the evening, |
much to the delight Of the boys from /
the Coast, who applauded loudly, and
also showed their appreciation in a /
more substantial way.
j At Kahului the party separated.
though the majority made a hurried |
trip to Wailuku and then visited Puu-
meme. where they went through the /
sugar mill, this being the first oppor-
tunity for inspection of a sugar mill
when grinding that they have had
since arriving in the Territory. They
were received with the utmost courtesy
and all their questions answered read
lily Others of the party made the trip
up the beautiful lao Valley, and none
who were able to make this excursion
regretted it for a moment. The sun
was shining, but there were few
clouds in the sky. just enough to give
a magnificent effect of light and
shadow in the broad expanse of cane
field which is spead to view when
returning from the valley Of beauty.
The Claudine left Kailului at one
O'Clock. with all well and happy.
The next stop made was at Nahiku
where a little freight was landed. At
Hama the vessel stopped for about an
hour and a half and most Of the boys
went ashore. Greatly, to their delight
they found a japanese holiday in prog
ress and pavilion in which a theatri-
cal performance was going on attract
ed general attention. None of the par
