Captain Denny, sat together and, when
mention was made of Captain Miller,
there was something doing in the cheer
ing line. They realized. more than
anybody else, that it was principally
due to the Miller hospitality that the
event was such a success. Unable to
go himself he put one of his shippers
in charge of the Luka and bore all the
expense of sending the yacht with a
full crew and fully provisioned on a
four days cruise.
A Snoring InterIude.
After the chowder at the club there
was dance at Puunene, to which many
of the yachtsmen were taken in autos
and then everybody turned in and slept
soundly-that is, some slept soundly.

by a huge white mass of snore. 1t

seemed as though all the fog horns of
all the world were working overtime.

the more they snored. No sleep, but
the magnifcence of that rising mass
of sound was so awesome that it was
worth it. Delve deep in the lower

never encounter so grand, so magnifi-

as those two snores.
On Sunday morning we slept and de-
cided that the return race should start
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The
members of our particular party also
had lunch prepared and served by
Mrs. Parker. Some of the yachtsmen
took a trip up the lao valley and re-
turned greatly impressed with the
beauties of that famous dale.
/ An Awful outrage.
1t was after lunch that the great out
rage was committed. It was all planned
by the Pirate Kid Beaming with the
quiet satisfaction of a good lunch well
eaten, smiling with the delight of one
of Captain Pafker's best cigars, seated
on the porch and thinking how beauti-
full was the sunshine and the ocean, [
was approached by an important indl-
yiduaI in the uniform of a policeman.
He asked if my name was Densham.

Luka crew came up and l was rescued
They made Mr.. Policeman unlock the
handouts. and they said that they
would douse him in the drink if he
dared to Law hands on me again. But
I was taken aboard the Concord just
the same.
Good Breeze for Start.
There was a fine breeze blowing
when the time for the start came round
The Concord had the outside mOorlng,
next lay ,the Hawaii, then the Luka,
with the Kamehameha ahead of the
Luka alongside barge. The Gladys
had already left early in the day.
When all yachts signaled that they
were ready for the start by hosting
mainsails. the signal gun was fred from
the Hawaii. There was no joekeying
for the start as there was no room in
side the breakwater for the yachts 70
wear and tack. SO each yacht took its
own time. and these are the official
times published above.
Sailor Sam Aboard.
There was a large bunch Of heart
warming for me when I tumbled aboard
the Concord. Good old Sam, the only
Hawaiian in the crew Of the Hawaii
