ON BOARD L. 8. 8. LOUISIANA. U.
s. Battle Fleet, Honolulu, July 22-It
was early on the morning of July 10
that the first sight was caught OF
Hawaii On the port bow famous
:. Molokai, the blest, the home of the
leper settlement, was made out. Ad-
miral Sperry, the commander-in-ehief,
went within four miles of shore so as
to afford the most forlorn people Of
the Pacific an opportunity to look at
the feet. You could see the great,
gray ridge of mountains running east
and west along the island, and you
knew that over and behind, on the
sheltered side, there were many people
living in peace and contentment, the
ridge acting as barrier that reaches
often clear into the clouds between
them and the 1epers.
You also knew that midway down
the length of the island there was a
low peninsula jutting out into the
ocean, and that there was the settle
ment. All eyes were strained to catch
a glimpse of it, and soon the little
white houses began to brighten the
spot; patches of green could be made
out, then flowers could be seen with
glass, and finally some of the people
were seen waving greetings to US.
to the blasts of the northeast
trades and with bleak, bare back
ground of tipped mountains, the
place seemed most cheerless, despite
the efforts to make it seem somewhat
less forlorn~ than nature had made it.
Thousands of those on the feet spoke |
Of FIR Damien. If kindly memory is a |
lasting monument to a hero mighty |
allshaft went up toward heaven as the !
feet sailed by. There was no eommnni- |
cation with the shore, but what those |
helpless unfortunates thought of it was /
shown in letter printed yesterday in
the Advertiser of this place, written |
to Admiral Sperry Gin gratitude and |
good win, +" by Joseph Dutton, one of |
the brothers down there.

Music in Dreamland.

And if you wish to enjoy this music
at its best you should have spent an
evening in the military camp, where the
boys were just the ordinary singers of
the people, and not selected voices, such
as make up the quintet clubs all over
the islands; and you should have lain on
the sward as we did, that first night in
the Lahaina. The moon came up over
the black eastern hills and then mel
lowed things through the shimmering
palm tree leaves The water rippled
into the beach and added the poetry of
the gentlest seas to the occasion. The
soldier boys twanged the instruments
for a minute or two and then came a
sweet, soft gliding from chord to chord
of these rich vocal organs, and-well
YOU were in dreamland.
What did you care for skyscrapers
and the hurry of business life or the
strife for wealth. What did you care
for operas and great singers2 You even
ceased to think of home and loved ones
and you now began to understand why
often these islands so enchant the trav-
eIer that he goes no farther and spends
the rest of his days here. And when
these singers poured out the songs, part
in Hawaiian and part in English, so
that you got some of the poetry that
was in their souls, you were sure that
you had lost some of the sweetest things
in life by not coming here before. "OId

The Good Night Song.

Oh, no: it WASH t a coon song it was
a collection of harmonies that would
soften the meanest crouch that any
man, no matter who, ever had. 1T
Just took hold of you from your toes
to your hair tips and made you feel
kindly toward all the world. 1t brought
signs to your lips and made you think
that gentleness and sweetness were in
the world as its choicest factors and
that YOU had never known their fun
depths before. Over and over again
you made the boys sing it.
There are scores of such moving
songs-but why dwell on them more
The evening draws to a close and then
the natives stand and sing their most
fetching song of all. ''Aloha oe' Good
night, sweet dreams, everything kind
be yours). The ex-Queen, Liliuoka
lani, who is expert in the music of her
former kingdom, composed it. We have
cumbersome goodnight songs, most of
them laden with the spirit of college
iollity, but neither we nor any other
nation has a goodnight, good-by song
like ''Aloha oe. The natives dislike
to sing it as a mere song. You can
hardly persuade them to gave it until
they mean good night-a real. one.
They put their hearts so into it that
they are unwilling to say good night
in song until it is good night. And as
the last stanZa comes to your ears,
" Aloha De. Until We Meet Again, - it
stays with you until it soothes you to
slumber with your last waking re-
membrance. As you drop off you seem
to be floating in music IS most delight,

where the first note Of the human voice

lie Hawaiian songs run to harmony
rather then mere melody, and there is
no well sustained theme in them. The
singers glide from one harmony-de-
hcious chords they are-into another.
The timbre of the voices can be heard
only in the Pacific islands. And when
the natives pour out these voices there
comes a blend of notes such as no
chorus of Anglo-Sax0ns could make.
The voices are hght-they run to
tenors a great deal-but there is such
superb balancing of tone in chorus
music as to resemble a church organ
under a master s hand more than any
thing else. But there is more than
that in them. The music has living
soul. When sad piece is sung the
sadness enters into the singers hearts.
They close their eyes. A sigh comes
from their lips with the harmony.
When they open their eyes there IS a
mist in them. When they sing roll
