Waving American and Hawaiian
flags, laden with leis of many colored
flowers, adorned with ribbons and
streamers, fluttering handkerehiefs and
wells, and shouting Aloha! Alohal Ho-
nolulu!" the six hundred and fifty
| plobetrotters of the German steamship
Cleveland left Honolulu for San Fran
cisco shortly after FIVE O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, the huge liner leaving
her wharf and pointing seward in
twenty minutes. On the Alakea wharf
thousands of people watched the liner
leave; every window was filed and
lines of curious folk occupied almost
every foot of space on the galleries.
The Hawaiian band played Hawaiian
and foreign melodies, responses being
given by the German band of the Cleve-
land. The passengers aboard the Man
churia, waiting to leave for San Fran
cisco, waved farewell to the world
travellers, and everybody present joined
in big demonstration for the Clark IS
tour visitors.
All day people had gone aboard the
boat to look over her splendid appoint
ments, her pretty reception rooms, COM
Portable smoking cabins, attractive
dining halls, the grill, uhe children Is
playground, the elevators, the several
decks with their rows of staterooms
numbering into the hundreds, the
"Brooklyn Bridge" which connected
the main with the after passenger sec
ton, the subways' as the passengers
dubbed the lower corridors, and the
beautiful staircases. The officers were
) kept busy answering questions.
For an hour before the vessel sailed
, the jam of humanity in the gallery and
directly about the gangway was almost
, unbreakable. Crowds wanted to go
aboard, and crowds had to come ashore.
Cleveland passengers returning from
town tours, by themselves or in the
company of new-made friends in Homo
, lulu, wore leis and looked happy. The
German band played and the Hawaiian
band played and enlivened the hour The
ships officers displayed considerable
diplomacy in passing the crowds along.
Clevelanders went aboard with bundles.
r Elks, Christian Endeavorers, business
men, promotionists and Masons were
D there in force. The Elks were almost
the last to bring their Cleveland
r friends back to the ship. For two days
they had entertained them, by motor
trips, receptions at their hall, little
side visits where the Island dance could
j, be seen, and poi suppers enjoyed. The
Elks had as their guests many pretty
girls and the latter did not escape their
fate when finally they had to go aboard
