OFFICIAL TIMES OF, THE YACHTS.

write of the beat to windward from
Honolulu to Kahului.
Mr.. Williams placed his office at the
disposal of the newspaper men, and the
typewriters were kept busy until the
call came for sealing envelopes in order
to get mail on the train. Meanwhile
all the other yachtsmen had come ashore
and were being disposed of. Some went
to the Kahului club, some went to the
houses of friends, and some went to
Captain Parker's house
Parker's Open House.
| was one of the lucky ones to be
among the latter. There was Eben
Low, the Pirate Kid; Prince Cupid,
Charlie Lewis and Admiral BeekIey.
They made a terrible roar about
deserter who did not sail on the Con-
cord but had little to say after a few
SLY hints about the lee side of Lanai.
Before the morning was well advance
ed everybody was staked out for the
day until the chowder at which we
were all to be present in the evening.
Somebody brought round automobiles
and we all went to Waikiki There
we disembarked and there was a great
gathering of yachtsmen and their Maui
friends. Most of them went to the
far end of the hotel lanai and began
TO play pedro, so / went to look for a
typewriter on which I could arrange
a series of jingles which We're expected.
Help Yourself on Maui.
When Honolulu people go to Maui
these are the kind of directions they
get. HWant typewriter? Well, L
tell you what you do, walk down the
street until you find place that makes
noise like having one and then go
in and use it. What? don't want to
butt in. Aw, come off. come along
with me- And in this way | was
steered safely into port alongside the
latest thing in Remingtons.
The jingles were constructed and
then we all went down to Judge Ke
poikai's house. They called it lunch
but it was really very elaborate luau
and it seemed as though every pretty
girl of Maui had come round to wait
on us. Admiral Beckley made speech,
Eben Low told story about piracy
in the South Seas and Prince Cupid
tried to borrow a sweater for the re-
turn trip. He said that he had three
aboard the Concord but was afraid of
getting cold and wanted another one.
And then the Chowder.
BY $50 that evening everybody had
gathered in the grounds of the Kahului
club. Here there were tables, acetylene
lamps and mystic noise somewhere
only a short time for all the shippers
| and crews to dispose themselves and
then ehowder appeared and lasted not
| very long.
Followed then the speech making.
Mr.. Williams acted as master of eere-
monies and he called on nearly every
/ body to talk. Without undue eompari-
son it must be said that Kenneth Brown
made the hit of the evening. He it
was who had so boldly sailed the little
| Gladys to Kahului and beaten the big
/ Concord in. Shortly humorously and
almost touchingly he told of the beat
! to windward 1t was clever talk
/ and there was laugh for every min
| ute. The acme of realism was reached
| when he told of the lack Of a pump
aboard and the bucket brigade that was
organized.
Beckley Favorite.
Admiral Beckley also made a speech
It was the most genuinely applauded
| effort that was ever delivered. En-
| thusiasm reached such a point, in fact,
| that each noun in the gallant admiral 5
speech was given three rousing cheers
and the old salt sat down with the real
! ization that he was the most popular
man in the yacht club.
