EN- AT SEA

EN- AT SEA.
Before the sun looked over Koko
Head the old Alameda was nosing
around the fortified crater of Dia-
mond Head and returning Honolulans,
as soon as Sol showed his effulgent
face, were pointing out the beauties
of Waikiki to what strangers were
up betimes.
Gliding leisurely off shore beyond
the reef towards Honolulu's coral
gateway, the Oceanic boat was met
outside at GAS o'clock by the doc
tors launch and the big launch Wa
terwitch bearing customs and immi-
grafton officers, members of Kaafs S
orchestra armed with their sweet
tuned instruments, which they used
to good effect, and few husbands
eager to welcome home their wives.
Among the latter were such we'll
known men as Publicist Cooper of
the Hawaii Promotion Committee and
Attorney Charles Chillingworth.
Cooper, in his Promotion capacity
was armed with a huge bunch of
flowery perfumery, exquisite wreaths
of crimson and white carnations, to-
give to the fair Hawaiian maids re-
turning from Seattle. while he had al
separate consignment of flowers, spe-
cies unknown ON account of careful
wrappings of oiled paper, for pre-
sentation to Mrs. Cooper who. with
such famous success happily chaper-
oned and conducted the Hawaiian
young ladies' during their five months
absence at the great Alaska Yukon
Exposition.
The girls, plump and actually
squealing with glee to be in sight of
the homeland, in spite of their glo-
rious times abroad, bobbed merrily
to the rail and greeted the advance
guard of their welcome back to Alo-
haland The concealed orchestra. in
the Watchwitch's cabin, broke from
hilarious jubilancy of sound and fell
softly into the delicious pathos of
more subtle heart-throbs, the plain
tiff appeal of the music magniphoned
| by the waters between, synthesizing
all the utter sweetness of that mex
pressible something which means
| HOME.
The doctors lost no time in exam
lining passengers and crew, finding
| no reason for quarantine and after
sixteen bags of special mail had been
lowered into the Waterwitch. the
waiting ones in the launch scrambled
aboard up the rope ladders the Ha-
waiian glee club let loose again in
all the old familiar tunes, surround
ed by the passengers, home corners
and all; the Alameda's screw turned
her toward the channel and soon q
waving, gesticulating, calling, echoine
slice of humanity on the Oceanic
wharf was wirelessing, wigwagging
and stage-tallling to the folks aboard
Mrs. W. J. Cooper with her happy
charges, the Misses Boyd, Holt
Meier, Hundon and Williams, return,
ed from the Seattle fair where they
did worlds of good education work
for the Paradise of the Pacific. They
were the life of the boat coming from
the Golden Gate, as may be imagined
The girls were loud in praises OF
their chaperon whom they early came
to love. Miss Pauline Evans, one OF
the party. remained in San francisco
to visit friends Of her family, to re
turn later.
Ernest Kaai and his orchestra. who
sang and played into the hearts OF
thousands of mainlanders, were also
returning passengers. Perhaps theil
presence didn't enliven the trip! Ash
