THETIs HERE TO
PATROL ISLES
Historic Revenue Cutter Will
Guard Bird Denizens From
Japanese Raiders.

In the interest of the preservation
of bird life on the small islets to the
westward of the Hawaiian group, the
revenue cutter Thetis arrived in port
from Seattle on Christmas Day. With
ia very short time she will leave on
a cruise which will include visit to
each island in the newly-created ''Bird
Reservation, - to learn definitely
whether Japanese bird.killers have Wis.
tied the islands lately to kill the featb.
cred inhabitants.
The well.known cutter is command
ed by Capt. w. V. f. Jacobs, who was
recently in complete command of the
four United States revenue cutters pa
trolling the seal islands OF the Boring
Sea. Captain Jacobs is not a stranger
to Honolulu, as he made a brief visit
here in 1898 as an officer of the cutter
Corwin. At that time Paramount
Blount was here as a special envoy of
President Cleveland, who had need to
get some important dispatches to the
American representatives. The cutter
Corwin was made ready at San Fran.
cisco and she was put to her best speed
on the run down. When the Corwin
arrived, political affairs were at high
tension and few of the crew were al.
lowed ashore. The dispatches were de-
livered and the Corwin returned to San
Francisco.
Thetis Rescued Greedy.
The history of the Thetis is involved
in the tragedies of the Arctic seas.
i When Greedy and his party failed to
return to the United States from their
dash to the pole, the Thetis was fitted
out and commanded by Lieutenant, aft
erwards Admiral, Schley of Santiago
A fame, and sent north to find the ex-
4 plorer. Schley found the starving
A party and brought the survivors back
! to the United Statse aboard the Thetls.
Several years ago the Thetis was sta
i toned in Hawaiian waters, with Cap
Z tain HAMLET in command. She is a
vessel of the old style, bark,rigged and
s equipped with auxiliary steam power.
Originally built as a, whaler, the vessel
was used by the navy in Arctic waters
and was finally transferred to the
= treasury department as a revenue cut
ter. Most of her service since has
been in the Bering and Arctic seas.
She is strongly built to withstand the
kpressure of icepacks, and her bow is
fitted with a steel nose over ironwood.
The hull is heavily braced inside.
Destructive Pelagic Raids.
Captain Jacobs was in command of

"In future no exhibition or fair of

Mr.. Childs states that the fair was

ever been held, both artistically and
! financially. The management gained

the fair patrons, and throughout it was

| exhibit is concerned, Mr.. Childs says he
was told by conservative people that
! it was the best feature of the entire
fair. The pineapple feature was the
| greatest individual hit of the exposi
ton.
Visitors arriving at the fair grounds
inquired, "Where are they serving
pineapples9' and exposition guards
told Mr.. Childs that no other question
was answered so much by them as that
about pineapples and where to get
them. Small grocers near the fair
grounds. who sold couple of boxes
| per month before the fair, now sell
| fifteen and twenty. Visitors at the
Hawaii building declared they had
never tasted such pineapple before. On
Seattle Day they served over $4,000

Singers in Demand.
Another great feature was the music

| Ernest Kaai and his corps of Hawai-
ian singers. They were the best band

timers from Hawaii who heard the
Kaai orchestra declared it to be the
best that ever left Honolulu to go to

other building officials for the loan of

10000 in that audience.
During the last week of the fair the
Hawaiian musicians appeared in final
concert with Ellery's band The Ho.
nolulu boys made hit with their first
selection and responded to six encores,
and finally had to refuse, for the Ell
lery band was getting little nervous
over the ovation. When Aloha 0e was
played the people demanded the return
of the Hawaiians, and almost lifted the
roof with their applause. Mr.. Kaai,
however, said that Aloha De was fare
well, and farewell it must be, but it
was great disappointment to the aud
fence.
bonme PICTURES,
The moving pictures of Hawaiian
scenes displayed twice daily in the
government biograph room were always
q big attraction. The room was gen
orally packed to it's capacity whenever
Mr.. Childs. Mr.. Knudsen, or Mr.. Cooper
gave lectures on Hawaii and displayed
the Bonnie films. After the lecture,
people crowded into the Hawaii build
ing to hear the Kaai orchestra. 1t was
just at n time of day when twilight was
approaching, and the boys seemed to
sing their best, and crowds always
waited for the music.
Fish Showed Off.
The fish were also attractive, and
they were finally turned over to the
University of Washington. The fish
remained alive throughout the fair, but
when the fair was over they were pre-
served in some preparation and taken
to the university.
Many high officials. from President
Taft down, paid visits to the Hawaii
building and always appreciated the
entertainment given them. They were
all pleased with the pineapple served
to them. Governor Hughes of New
York remained at his table three-quar-
tiers of an hour chatting with the girls,
who were grouped about him, asking
questions about Hawaii Governor
johnson of Minnesota made long
stay and then returned with his wife
so that she might partake of the pine
apple. The officials of the fair were
always courteous to the Hawaiian of
fcials and did everything in their power
to help them.
Last, but not least, the bevy of
young Hawaiian girls who acted as
hostesses for Hawaii. were an added
attraction, and made many friends for
! the Islands.
