tween the Islands of the Hawaiian
group, One man said, "Why, this is
q pretty good ship" in tone of voice
which Immediately announced that he
had been filed with stories Another
asked if the Kinau were a safe ship.
Admiral Beckley got hold Of him, and
that settled it, Time proved the Adj
miral's veracity. Suffice it to say that
each man and woman of the Congress
aional party not only praises the ship
and her officers, but some of them are
happy indeed to think they did not al
Flow themselves to be frightened by the
wild yarns Of intcr-sland discOmforls
which almost invariably cmanatc from
flights of fancy
Evening start
The farewell songs sung alternately
hE the musical Congressman and the
musical Hawaiian legislators were
Kept up for some time after the
steamer Kinau left the Honolulu dock
Friday evening. Secretary Atkinson
lad comfortably placed everybody and
there was nothing to do but be happy.
Representative Silva explained to a
knot of passengers why the Hanalei
wharf item failed and alternately
praised Kuhio and paid homage to
Neptune, After seeing the landing
which Silva worked so hard to i'm
prove but without success. his Con
eressional friends were inclined to
agree with him.
Capt. TuIet on Deck
The Kinau was off Kilauea Point
about daylight; not too early, however,
for Capt. Tullet to have Congressman
Stevens out to see where a lighthouse
is needed for the benefit of nter-isl-
and traffic and the great through-line
steamers of the Pacific Skirtng
along Kappa and Kealia the Kinau
anchored off Hanalei about Z o'clock
A good-siZed American flag floating
from the pole in the Wilcox grounds
attracted attention and favorable COM
ment. 1t was very favorable omen.
Landing in Boats
The landing here was the first to
be made in boats. The strange thing
is that notwithstanding a general
widespread knowledge of conditions in
Hawaii, 50 few realize that outside
Honolulu and Hilo all landings must
be made in small boats.
Lacking the muchneeded wharf, the
passengers passed from the whale
beats to an improviscd platform ar
ranged on small fiat boat. Arriving
On the beach each one was cordially
greeted by A. S. Wilcox, Mr.. Isenberg,
Charles Dole, Charles Deyerill and
other gentlemen, and as progress was
made toward the house a bevy of girls
approached and gave each a souvenir
badge, afterwards amplilied by a lei
Of mOkihana berries.
Ideal Wilcox Home
The BEACH grounds of the Wilcox
beach home, its atmosphere of perfect
comfort and adaptability to the eli
mate without being luXuriously pre-
tentious, backed by the magnificent
coloring of the hills and mountains
that rise abruptly from Hanalei Valley
after a combination about as nearly
perfect as anything terrestrial can be
the subtle charm of Kauai's garden
spots had immediate effect Visitors
felt perfectly at home the moment
they stepped on the veranda and were
greeted with the cordial aloha of Mrs
Wilcox and her friends, who assisted
in looking after the guests.
The breakfast table--nearIy forty
people-was spread on the broad yer
anda. And the breakfast, like every
thing else, was perfect While the
meal was in progress a party of Ha
waiian men and women sat in the
large living-room and sang Hawaiian
Eongs-not the lum tiddy -um-tum' tim
boomtararaum of the town hula, but
the beautiful melodious songs of the
land of hearts desire.
Wilcox and Hamilton
Delegate Kuhio during the breakfast
took occasion to introduce Mr. Viii
cox, who pleased his guests with 8
hearty short talk of welcome. Con
Gressman Hamilton responded for the
congressman and their wives, anC
called forth cheers from all sides by
his nice appreciation of the beautiful
women, the hating melodious music
and the velvet atmosphere of Kauai.
