MOST WERE BELOW.
In spite of the greatness of the crowd
of pilgrims aboard the big Hamburger
there were perhaps at no time more
than two hundred at the rail while
the vessel was outside. This was ex-
planned by the necessity of most OF
them being below for the medical ex-
animation, folks coming on deck as
they were passed by the doctors; also
by the fact that many wished not to
be interrupted at their breakfast; and
doubtless, by the fact that not all
were out of their Dunks when the
launches got outside.
CHRISTIANS AND ELKS.
The Honolulu Christian Endeavor-
ers had at first, launch all to them
selves, there being men and women
and boys and girls on their party,
most of whom sat on top of the house
of the launch so as not to obscure
great painted legend which conveyed
the sentiment of ALOHA" and also
bore a big G. E., meaning Christian
Endeavor. Later a bunch of Elks
| transferred from their launch to the
| launch of the Christian Endeavorers,
which incident greatly entertained all
who observed. Inc idea of Christian
Endeavorers and Elks being "in the
same boat" was most amusing, or was
taken at such at least.
Somebody remarked, since the Elks
and the Endeavorers were in one ark,
that the c. E. on the sign now stood
for Christian Elks" Poor Christians
Poor Elks! The waves spray wet
both the just and the unjust The En-
deavorers said: Let us spray!' and it
sprayed 1t was anything but smooth.
Also the Waterwitch, used regularly
by the customs and immigration Off
GERS for boarding incoming steamships
was made use of in the grand waltz OF
welcoming craft The Mokolii, which
took out the Elks, after a long wait
on account of quarantine, transferred
a lot of her Elks to the Waterwitch
and the Waterwitch later transferred
some to the Christian Endeavor boat
The Elks were certainly in evidence
The Rev. r. Doremus Scudder was
among the prominent passengers on
board the Waterwitch. Altogether, as
far as the arrangements for greeting
were concerned, it was a sadly dis
appointed though always enthusiastic
crowd that went in the various launch
es, and some unkind things were sale
concerning the ships officers, though
perhaps without complete justification
CLEVELANDERS DELIGHTED.
However, the Clevelanders enjoyed
what they were able to see and hea
of the different committees far below
them, tossing about on the bosom o
ped their applause in response to thu
music of the Hawaiian band and the
songs and selections given by Kaaii
musical aggregation, whichh included
couple of excellent lady warbIers.

alongside there was a rush to thu
