During the summer the "gay cat works with
such persistence as nature has given him. If he
cannot find work he is not above begging or steal

lodge and feed them in their own houses Now
they make them lodge in abandoned barns or In
open air camps. At berry or hop-picking they are
paid by the quantity gathered; in the harvest or
hay fields they receive the minimum of dollar

night they gather around the fire and play cards

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-14

With nearly nine hundred Portu-
guese immigrants, men, women, and
children, the British steamship
Swanley arrived off port last night,
twenty-five days from Punta Arenas,
fortynine days from Madeira, and
fifty-fve days from st. Michael.
Several hours were required this
morning for the necessary medical
examination of the big steamers liv-
ing cargo and it was 1890 O'Clock
before she docked at the old channel
wharf, hard by the United States
Immigrant Station.
Inspector-in-Chief Raymond c.
Brown, and the rest of the experts
at sizing up newcomers, were on
hand. soD1e having boarded the
steamship from a launch outside the
harbor.
The exact number of new arrivals
is 1863, divided as follows: From St.
Michael 81 adults, % children over
nine, q children between one and
nine years, and eleven chilgren un-
uSl Out SSdl AlOI MduSllfsi NV
adults, 7 children over nine, 155
children between one and nine, and
63 children under one year.
There were three deaths and eight
births during the voyage, all deaths
being under a year.
An immense crowd of Honolulu
Portuguese gathered at an early hour
IN the neighborhood of the immigrant
station and the channe; wharf. SIe-
cial guards were employed to keep
this mob back. One Of the crowd
punched a guard in the face and
there was a lively scrap in which the
guard came out the better man.
Meanwhile there we're unearthly
shrieks from a hysterical woman VINO
was some relative of the man in the
mob who got the beating from the
guard After this the crowd was
forced still further back. Lines were
stretched, and anybody crossing a
line was quickly bounced behind the
ropes.
What the mob expected was prob
ably that they would be allowed tc
fall on the necks of their arriving
countryfolk But there was nothin@
doing in that direction. for when thu
immigrants had all been landed from
the ship they were marched across
the intervening space into the immi

during the examination.
These people have come to Ha-
waii, presumably, to spend the rest
of their days. Before they left their
native land they disIosed of anything
they had in the way of property.
There was much weeping and wall
ing at their departure, but there is
today much rejoicing among them
at their arrival. They have looked
upon Oahu frem the ship and have
declared that this island looks good
to them They make a motley horde.
Their numbers include all types, all
compilations and many classes. There
appear to be number of we'll edu'
Gated people among them. Some are
Scandinavian in features, while 9TH
ers are Moorish In appearance. They
came with trunks and babies, chill
dren and parrots, winter clothes and
stringed Instruments, guitars and the
like. They came with green ties and
yellow scarfs, muslin End cgii1o. red
stockings and blue socks, woollen
Letticoats ard real lace yokings.
They arrived with unstockinged
limbs and lady's high boots, up to
the knees. They landed with tin
trunklets on their heads and musical
instruments in their hands. They
came laughing and singing, skipping
and rubbering and glad to be ashore.
Apparently, they are all in good
health.
They were fed well on the trip.
Five thousand dollars worth of stores
are still left over aboard the Swan
ley. The shin was provisioned for
1900 people. They were treated well
and their quaFTels resulted in 10Th
ing serious. Genial Captain Steele
was judge as well as captain, and
many were the little difficulties that
he good naturedly Strengthened out
during the long voyage.
Thirteen hundred was the number
originally expected, but less than
nine hundred was the number ship
ped.
CAPTAIN w. E. Steele reports a
good passage, with no particularly
unpleasant weather, though, OF
course, it was cold through the
Straits.

had great experience dealing with
immigrants. In that time he was han
