was one of the lucky ones to be
among the latter. There was Eben.
Low, the Pirate Kid; Prince Cupid,
Charlie Lewis and Admiral Beckley.
They made terrible roar about a
deserter who did not sail on the Con.
cord but had little to say after few
sly hints about the lee side of Lanai.
Before the morning was well advanc-
ed everybody was staked out for the
day until the chowder at which we
were all to be present in the evening.
Somebody brought round automobiles
and we all went to Waikiki. There
we disembarked and there was a great
