W AICttlNG lille TIA ALI,
getting aboard this time, and officers
of the ship gave every possible assist
ance to bring the Honolulans aboard.
The gangway was lowered and the first
ones up were the Hawaiian girls, whose
arms were filed with les.
Delighted With Leis.
A more enthusiastic crowd can not
be imagined than the people aboard
over the leis. They pressed forward
eager to have wreaths placed about
their necks and the fragrant blossoms
were pressed to their faces so that none
of the perfume might be lost. The leis
appealed to them as one of the most
charming customs of the Hawaiian Is
lands. Men and women were alike in
their enthusiasm over the pretty custom
and most of them wore their leis
throughout the day. The Hawaiian
musicians went aboard and took sta
ton on the promenade deck where they
played to an audience, which closed
them in. The German band alternated
with the quintet club. the artistic touch

Clark Was Pleased.
Frank Clark was happy man. The
greeting acco ded his charges, their
enthusiastic reception of the friendly
offices of the Hawaiians, and the in
slant entente cordiale existing between
the Islanders and all those on the
steamer, was pleasing to him. He ex'
pressed the opinion that Honolulu Is
hospitality to the Cleveland tourists on
both visits of the vessel was unsurpass-
ed and he felt that in whatever direc-
ton he used his efforts in the future
toward sending excursions out INFO the
world that he could always depend upon
Honolulu to aid him.
He stated tn t Tor twelve years he
had planned Just such a cru So aud AT
last his dream had been a rcality. 1t
was a test and the test has been sue
cessful. but the tremendous task of ar
ranging for such a cruise was beyond
the understanding of people generally
He felt that he could not undertake
yearly world-cIdises, but that if an
other was undertaken, it would be two
years from now. He had demonstrated
that hundreds and hundreds Of tourists
could be handled on such a trip, that
it could be successfully carried out ard
that the tourists would return to their
homes satisfied. but to undertake an
other cruise would require at least two
years preparation.
Mr.. Clark stated all this as the YES
sci swung up the channel toward The
city and he was smiling happily all the

man. Although the Cleveland had
caused many of the pass engers 10 suffer
from NAL de mer on the FIST day or
two out, yet they too, had recovered
their spirits, aud were in happy frame
of mind, and all eager 10 set foot on so
inviting an island.
Ready for Snow.
1t was a rather somber-looking crowd
of men and women, for but few of them
had their summer clothes out. They
had just passed from the land of snow
and ice, through the icy cold along the
Coast and had but gradually emerged
into the balmier air of the Hawaiian
Islands. When they arose yesterday
morning and saw tie rain mist hanging
low over the ocean ard the Island of
Oahu shrouded in threatening clouds,
they felt that perhaps summer was yet
far off, and so they came in winter
clothes to the gangway and found that
after all. Honolulu wore a springtime
air, almost bordering upon summer, and
that white duck and linen would have
been just the thing.
Back TO Old Berth.
The Cleveland went alongside the
Alakea wharf, the new wharf which the
great vessel ehristened only last month,
and was brough, TO her berth by Pilot
Maeaulay in fine style. The wharf was
crowded with people and the Hawaiian
Band was there 10 give Its usual greet
ing The gnngway was soon placed
across the space between main deck
and the gallery and the visitors
swarmed ashore,
