On Board Yacht Hawaii,


San Pedro, June %, 1908.
Dear Charlie: We have only been
here four days. but Honolulu will have
to get up early in the morning to ex-
tend a greater welcome than we got
here. You would be surprised at the
number of people who are for the Ha-
wall, as far as the ship is concerned.
Everybody who comes aboard here
IS going to be entertained to the limit.
/ represent the Territory of Hawaii,
and if the people of Honolulu, after
having gone so far, are going to stick
at three or four hundred dollars extra,
ALL can say is that it is a shame. You
don t realize as ! do, who am on the
spot, Just how we are being enter
tanned. Why, | don't get time to
sleep. / was at an entertainment last
night and had to make speeches until
! got hoarse, and could hardly talk
this morning. Every speech was a
boost for the Hawaii, for the yacht,
God bless her, is a dream. She did
635 miles in three days on the wind,
and if anyone thinks she can t go be-
fore the wind he makes a big mistake,
as L had her up to twelve miles an
hour in a good breeze. Two hundred
and forty miles was our biggest days
run with a leading wind and a big
sea.
L would like you to bet $25 for me
that the Hawaii wins the race.
would also like to- state that if you
ever hear that l have been remiss
in my obligations to the yacht commit
tee while in San Pedro, in any shape,
manner or form, never put confidence
in me again. | fully realize my po-
sition here and / am going to try to
do you all proud. / would also like to
state once more that if the expense of
entertaining up here is more than you
figure on, it will be for the common
good of the people of Hawaii Rather
than fail in one iota to do the right
thing while here / would dig down in
my own pocket, and you know that I
am not well able to do that.
/ have just entertained party of
ladies and gentlemen today, and you
can bet that they were tiekled to death
and gave three rousing cheers for the
Hawaii. Everywhere / go they sing,
For He's a jolly Good Fellow and
it s all for the honor and glory of Ha-
wall
''The second day that we were here,
Luke Kelly of the Criterion saloon sent
a case of Mumm s Extra Dry aboard,
and the champagne that / have been
passing out has been from that case.
Mr.. Childs and Mr.. Waterhouse have
been aboard, and the members of the
Chamber of Commerce and their ladies
are coming tomorrow. They'll get
BIumm IS Extra Dry, and don't you
forget it. In closing, l assure you that
everything is o. K. Yours truly,
CAPTAIN HARRIS.
