The Hawaiian gazette., 1908-07-24

Like spectres, beautiful, clustering
and wonderful, fifteen of the battle
ships of Admiral Sperry's command
were outlined with incandescent cleo
tries last night, FIVE within the harbor
and ten at the outside anchorage, each
vessel displaying its name in huge cleo
trie letters across the front of the
bridge. A score and half powerful
searchlights thrust their penetrating
shafts of blue-white light into the
night, crisscrossing, lighting up clouds,
then marking silvery lane across the
waters, now bathing buildings, trees
and mountains in "a great light and
then suddenly Illuminating groups of
spectators.
Never before has Honolulu witnessed
such a beautiful marine sight, and for
that reason it appeared that all Ho-
nolulu turned out en- masse to feast
upon the vision of electrical beauty.
The vessels in the harbor, being close
at hand, showed the workmanship of
the electric outlines, but those lying at
anchor in the roadstead were so distant
that their lights seemed like blossoms
in the air.
The names on the bridges of these
vessels could not be readily distin-
guished, but those within glowed signs

tucky." The Nebraska, which was
only yesterday released from quaran-
tine, and is still coaling, was net in
the display.
The high lights were particularly
beautiful, each one of the two military
masts aboard each warship being illu-
minated SO that each became almost n
perfect cross, vying with the Southern
Cross in the heavens for brilliancy and
spectacular effect. for each mast stood
out brilliantly against the background
of night.
The illumination of the ships was a
graceful compliment to Honolulu on the
part of Admiral Sperry, and is one fea-
ture, beside many Others, which was
thoroughly appreciated by the public.
At exactly $3.50, when the bells were
struck, every searchlight was extin-
guished. This in itself was a surprise
to the landsmen ashore, for not only
did those aboard vessels inshore 60 out
together, but those in the oiiing went
out at the same instant.

FATHER NJ. c. GLEASON
OF THE CONNECTICUT

Father NJ. c. Gleason, chaplain of 1.-THE
Connecticut, is a man who has peculiar
relations to Honolulu. He was ch4p-
lain of the battleship Missouri hlen
the double explosion in the turret and
the handling room of that vessel ON
April 13, 1904, killed five officers an&
twenty-five men, among them MidshipA
man Edward Neumann, son of Mr.. and(
Mrs. Paul Neumann, the fist naval
cadet appointed from Hawaii.
Father Gleason proved himself hero
at that time He was one of the first
to rush to the turret after the explo-
sion to rescue any survivors there might
be, or bring out the bodies of those
who had been killed. AT the time the
eastern papers were full of accounts of
Father Gleason s intrepid action.
Father Gleason is as modest as he
is brave. Many people here have re.
ceived letters from friends away from
here, asking them to look Father Glea-
son up during the stay of the fleet
He has had many callers.
Father Gleason is most engaging
and polished gentleman and at the At
Home given on the Connecticut Mon
day, by his thoughtfulness and tact, he
added greatly to the enjoyment of
great many people at the affair.
