REFERRED HIM TO THE BIBLE.

There were many little stories crop
ped up as the result of the stranding
of the United States Army transport
in the harbor here a few months ago,
but none of them probably is as good
as the following, which is told in the
San Francisco Call of May 16:
On its outward voyage from here the
Army transport Logan, which is now IN
port, was damned fast on coral reef
in Honolulu harbor by Pilot Sanders,
who mistook the reflections on ram
soaked pavement for the lights that
caused them. The British cruiser Cam
brian was in port, and her commander,
Captain Vaughn Lewis, r. n, was
more than kind in his offers of assist
anee The Cambrian had been tugging
for several hours without moving the
American troopship. Luncheon time ar
rived. The strain on the hawsers was
eased and the Britisher signaled to
Captain Stinson on the Logan that he
wished to communicate with him. An
other string of flags futtered to the
Cambrian's signal yard and Captain
Stinson took down the message, winch
being translated, read:
" Awfully sorry, old chap, but think
YOU d better read Acts, chapter =,
verse 49,"
Captain Stinson sent for the ship g
Bible, turned to the passage Indicated
and read:
"And when they had eaten enough
they nghtened the ship"
After luncheon the Logan began dis
charging cargo into lighters and few
hours later came off the reef without
assistance

FAREWELL DANCE FOR
A FAIR CALIFORNIAN

In honor of Miss Tarleton of San
Jose, who leaves for San Francisco in
the Luriine, a dance was given by a
number of her friends in the Odd Eel
lows hall last evening as a eompli-
ment to charming Californian who
has been visitor in Honolulu for many
months and who has made host of
friends. About fifty young people at
tended the dance, which was a delight
full affair. The music of the Hawaiian
singing boys was excellent. Miss Tar
Teton has been the guest of her brother.

REPLY TO G. E. DOLE.

Answering some of the points made
in the article of Rev. Chas F. Dole on
Fortifying Hawaii the San Fran
cisco Cali has the following:
Certain difficulties of the situation
as outlined by Mr.. Dole are real, but
in fine, the annexation of Hawaii was
military necessity and incidentally a
most valuable commercial acquisition.
The arabic area may be comparatively
small. as Mr.. Dole says, but its proper
tional productivity is enormous and has
become the basis of a vast commerce
in products of high relative value That
is the sort of trade that pays best.
"The military aspects of the situa-
tionn appear from the fact that the
island group is the vital strategic point
of the Pacific ocean. Hawaii in posses
sion of hostile power as naval base
would be a perpetual menace to the
Pacific coast of this continent

Will Repair the Logan.

Bids for repairs to the engines, boil
ers and hull of the Army transport
Logan were opened yesterday in the
office of Colonel Bellinger, the con-
tract being awarded to the Moore G.
Scott Iron Works, which firm also put
in the lowest bid for the carpenter
and Joiner work. Both contracts
amounted to approximately $4,000. The
Logan, which is on dry dock has been
found to have sustained no serious
injury as the result of her recent
grounding in Honolulu harbor.-

The Kukui Explored.

On her recent trip around the Isl
ands, the United States Lighthouse
tender Kukui did considerable explor-
ing of the small harbors and lights
along the coast of Maui. The last
survey of the coastline was made in
1902 and naturally there have been
great many changes since that time
Inc charts which now are supposed
TO tell the maritime wayfarer where
he is are anything, but accurate and
a re-suryey is badly needed. The
Kukui did not, of course, make SUI
veys when she was on the run around
Maui, but she located a lot of anchor
ages and little bays which are suit
able for the smaller vessels. One of
me strange things about the charts
which are now in use is the fact that
the greater number of landmarks are
churches on the coast. One water
frontier said the other day that there
was church for every two houses
on the other Islands. Every other
dot on the chart signifies a church.

things g~randly; but Hillard had es-
capped this. He loved his Raphaels, his
Titians, his V~eroneses, his Rubenses,
without any desire to make Indifferent
copies of them; he admired his Dante,
his Petrarch, his Goldoni, without the
wish to initiate them. He was full of
sentiment without being sentimental,
a poet who thought hut never indited
verses. His fathers blood was in his
veins. that is to say, the salt OF re-
s%traint; thus, his fortune grew and
multiplied. The strongest and reddest
corpuscle a been the gift of his
mother. She had left him the legacy
of loving all beautiful things in mod
GRAFTON, the legacy OF gentleness, of
charity, OF strong loves and frank
iiatreds, of humor, of living out in the
open, of dreaming great things and ac-
comprising none of them.
The old house in which he lived was
not in the fashionable quarter of the
town; but that did not matter, Nor
did il vary externally from any of its
unpretentious n%eighbors. Inside, how
ever. there were treasures priceless and
unique. There was no woman in the
household: he might smoke in any
room he pleased. A cook. a butler and
a valet were the sum-total of his
retinue. In appearance he resembled
many another clean-cut, clean-living
American gentleman.
Giovanni sought his w room at the
end of the hall, squatted on a low stool
and solemnly began the business of
backing his masters boots. He was
still as lean and tall as a Lombardy
poplar, this handsome old Roman.
His hair was white; there was now no
black beard on his face. which was as
brown and creased as Spanish levant;
