golia on Saturday last, when she sailed
for Honolulu and the Orient, and re-
turned to port on board tho pilot boat.
81 will do it again, and as oftea rs
I like l win go out ON the Newport
on Friday, and Schwerin cannot stop
me-" Thus speaks Castle.
Calls Him Unfortunate.
'sCastle may be an unfortunate
young gentleman. I cannot understand
his persistence says Schwcrin, whose
authority on the high seas has never
thus been challenged before. eff he Is
discovered by the Federal authorities
on board ship illegally he may be
compelled to work his passage rs
stowaway.o
And the ears of the teacups are
tingling with the rebuke they heard in
the lunch room.
Castle started out to crafty his de-
sire for short ocean trip by writing
formal application, which he mailed 10
Schwerin, asking him for the privilege
of going ont on the Mongolia on Satur-
day, and concluding that if he did mos
receive an answer by II clock on
Saturday he would consider his request
granted, and go.
No answer came, and Castle started
for the dock, where he says he discov-
cred Schwerin Is secretary lying in wait
for him at the gangway, but that he
eluded the emissary and embarked.
When the pilot was leaving the ship,
outside the Heads, Castle, too, clam
bered down the rope ladder and jumped
safely into the whitehall, which took
him and the pilot on board the Lady
Mine, and thus back to Meiggs wharf.
Sit Down to Talk It Over.
The next scene was enacted in the
lunchroom of the Pacific Union, when
Castle invited Sehwerin to sit down ana
talk it over. The talk was strenuous.
The teacups heard the manager ana
vice president of all the ships of the
Pacific Mail declare that gentlemen
whose requests were not granted did
not climb on board ships through the
back door, or whatever in naval arehi-
lecture corresponds to that diplomatic
entrance And Castle said that he
would do it again, and that Schweriu
should not stop him.
Schwerin, who holds the opinion that
crime runs in cycles, says that white
be regards Castle as an "unfortunate
young gentleman that he fears that
JOY riding on his liners will become .
sort of fashionable mania, and that
some one will come to grief trying to
board the pilotJboat.
In the meantime the question rs
squarely put, can all the secretaries,
and the captains, and the stewards or
the Pacific Mail, acting under the Or
ders of Schwerin, stop Castle when he
next appears at the dock TO carry out
his challenge.
Elbow can we stop himf' asks
Schwerin. "There are many friends OF
the passengers going on board ship
lust before she sails. But If the Fed
eral authorities find any one on board
liner who is not down on the ships
papers, he will be considered as stow
away, and compelled to work his pas-
sage to the next port.
az understand that Castle has been
to Captain Birmingham, and to the
Pilot Commissioners. What be intends
to do, / don't know. "
The captains of the liners, like the
teacups of the club, are trembling, for.
the unfortunate master on whose ship
Castle next goes joy riding will have
to appear on the carpet of the inner
office on the third floor of the Flood
building. and explain how he allowed
it to happen. And TIE secretaries, who
will stand watch at the gangplank,
viii have to explain how they allowed
Mr.. Castle of the Castles of Honolulu,
to get by them. Turnstiles may be
placed at the gangplank. and captains
equipped with bell punches to ring uP
fares, all of which win make it more
difficult for Mr.. Castle of Honolulu,
who SAYS that he viii do it again, and
on the next ship that sails.
Since the day when the Interstate
Commerce Commission was invented
there has never been such eommotion
in the inner Office of the Pacific Mail
