navy.
In 1905 he was ordered from an easy
post to more arduous one in Africa.
The doctor passed through here and fell
IN love with Honolulu. Contrasting
the post in Africa to Honolulu. the doe

was much more desirable than that Of
Africa and accordingly, when the
steamer sailed, DR.. Pinto was not on

expected to receive, it was thought that
an order for his arrest had come.
