WANTED SAILORS
TO WORK WAY
Many Men in Honolulu Glad to
Work Passage, Says
Captain.

They are telling a story down on
the waterfront ON Captain J. Olsen,
the skipper of the Norwegian steamer
which passed through here yesterday.
The story is partly on Shipping Com
missioner Almy, the greater part of the
joke falling upon his shoulders.
Captain Olsen was short-handed. He
had been forced to steam away from
the Northwest shy three or four men,
so he headed for Honolulu where he
knew he could always find seamen. He
came down 10 the Shipping Commits
sioner s Office the other day to see what
could be done.
/ want some men,, !, he said to Ad-
mirai Amy.
fan right. Bring them here and
| III sign them On for you,' answered
the waterfront advocate.
.Well, what are you going to do
about its Aren t you going to get the
men for mess
Almy's dignity thereupon took
charge.
"Sir,p he said, I'll have you an
derstand that I im no sailor boarding
house runner. -
Captain Olsen fastened to inform
the Shipping Commissioner that no
offense was intended and hostilities
thereupon ended But Olsen wanted his
men and he wanted them bad. He was
referred to Mitchell, who usually
knows where all the stray seafaring
men in Honolulu are, who asked the
captain where he was bound for and
what wages he intended to pay.
s.Well, it Is this way, said Olsen.
eff I could spare the time I'd get
the men I want myself. We are going
to European ports after we finish down
in. Australia, and I'll guarantee that
there are twenty-five men in Honolulu
who would be glad of an opportunity
to work their passage, without pay, to
Europe. Under the circumstances, how
ever, suppose III have to get salaried
men.
Captain Olsen got two men who cam
down here on the bark Alden Besse
from the Coast, and the third was a
nondescript. They were signed on be-
fore E. M. Van Damn, representing
the German Consulate.

THOMPSON ON
HALL AGAIN
Genial Skipper on Duty Once
m0re---lurIine Had a
StoWaWay.

Captain Thompson, who has been on
vacation for some time past, went out
on his regular run as master of the
Inter-Island steamer W. G.. Hall last
Wednesday. There were rumors start
ed at the time Captain Thompson began
his vacation that he had been dis
charged from the employ of the COM
pany, but these were denied at the
time and have proven to be absolutely
without foundation. Captain Thomp-
son is one of the best-iked shippers
of the Inter-Island company, and has
always performed his duty well aboard
ship. His many friends in the city are
glad to hear that the genial captain is
again master of the w. G.. Hall.
Stowaway on Lurline.
When the steamer Lurline arrived
in San F ancisco from here on her
last t. she carried one gentleman
who had not booked for the voyage,
nor was his name to be found on the
passenger list. The San Francisco
Post. under date of March s, has as
follows to say Of the gentleman:
'Jack johnson, stowaway from Ho-
nolulu, is in town.
Gin fact, he has several names, but
his most popular title is plain Jack
johnson. He is black, tall and a
heavyweight, but for all these similar
qualities he is not the champion of
the world. This johnson made noise
like an oar when the Matson steamer
Lurline left the Islands, and was found
two days later lying in the bottom of
a lifeboat During the long hours
while the vessel tossed on the waves
like a cork Johnson was contented to
lie in confinement and eat away at the
plentiful supply of sea biscuits that
were stored there in wait for sea
disaster.
Choking in the best of health, the
black fellow was discovered on the
second day out by Quartermaster
George Flynn, and then the joyful
period was at an end. He was put to

TION.''

A ration is the subsistence for one
person for one day. There are various
kinds of rations, and the components
vary according to the nature OF the
duty performed. They are severally
known as the garrison ration, the field
ration. the haversack ration, the travel
ration, the Filipino ration, and the
emergency ration. The garrison ration
is issued to troops in garrison or IN
permanent camps; the field ration to
troops not in garrison or in permanent
camps; the haversack ration to troops
in the field in active campaign when
transportation is limited; the travel
ration to troops travelling otherwise
than by marching and separated from
cooking facilities; the Filipino ration
for use of the Philippine scouts, and
the emergency ration TO troops IN &C.
tive campaign for use on occasions OF
emergency.

HEARD ON THE FRONT

81 am for the improvements sug-
gested in the way of harbor lights by
the Board of Inquiry which were pub
lished in the Advertiser yesterday"
said Old Salt ''But think there is
another remedy for the present system
of lighting the harbor, or rather lack
of lighting, that is even better than
any of the plans which the board men
toned. That is to have red light,
not necessarily a very large one, placed
in the center of the Hackfeld wharf so
that, if a vessel coming into the har-
Dor goes out of a direct line after
making the turn opposite the Channel
wharf, the light would become simmer
or show a different color. This could
very easily be arranged. After max
ing the turn opposite the Channel
wharf in coming into the harbor,
vessel is in direct line with the end OF
the Haekfeld wharf so long as the
direct course in the channel is kept.
The minute a ship got out of the course,
if this light were placed in the rlghf
way, the captain or pilot could lmme-
diately tell that they were going
wrong.
"The present lights in the harbor
are something awful for ship coming
in at night There are electric lights
of every size strewn along the water
front, but there is no one distinguish
ing light by which skipper may al
WAYS guide himself. A red light on
Hackfeld wharf would ocercome this.
1t would be a very inexpensive thing
to put up, and believe that the au-
thorities should do the work.

King" Feeder on the Siberia.

When the Pacific Mail liner Siberia
returns here from San Francisco, she
will have her old master in charge. The
following, under date of March 8, is
from the Call:
''The Pacific Mail liner Siberia, Cap
tain Andrew Dixon, arrived yesterday
at Honolulu on her way home from the
Orient. Captain Feeder, better known
as the King, will resume command OF
the Siberia on her next voyage
Feeder has been visiting the old world
and, as sailors usually do, has spent
the greater part of his vacation on the
ocean. During his absence the Siberia
has made two trips to the Orient
Feeder is not in the city yet, but will
be here in time to meet his wagon,
as he calls the Siberia.''

rigidity of the examination of trunks
and other baggage and the thousands
of separate parcels brought i'm by every

regular examination much more
searching that formerly. but after the

examine overcoats and wraps delve
into handbags and often examine the

fact that all this unpleasant vigilance
