The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-08-10

ham-and-egg lubDer, look lively there
with the ore-peak-downhaul and dont
sit chewing your lip like a half-baked
clam, gol ding your backstays!"
Here's hoping Captain Warren is as
sick at rhapsodizing over a pearl-and-
pea-green sunset as he is at boxing the
compass.
Honolulu is a great place for literary
material and here almost untouched
are the fairgrounds, backgrounds, mid
dle-distances. side-scenes and fatten-
ings for countless plots in fiction and
fact. And here too, are characters
strutting unimmortalized throughout
the shifting scenes of everyday life,
characters rich in all that is generally
required of heroes and heroines.
am reminded of all that is here to
write by the presence of Jack London
and the fact that London is writing a
story with Hawaii running through
the tale.
Fred Church of the Seaside Hotel is
one of the characters, but he appears
in the story as Fred Churchill. / do
not know if Church is aware OF his
approaching naturalization, if he is
not, dear reader, please don't tell him,
for he would stay awake o. nights
worrying just how much of London's
yarn is to be the awful truth Jack
is improving the present opportunity
of characters presented and may write
. a story in which such names as
Alicia Shortworth, Dick Shortworth.
| Jack Atchison, Pert Patterson. Walt
Willingham, the Bob Achisons and
Harry McPharlandt appear
