An ENGINEERS Shattered HOPES;
BEING THE TILE OF 4 shin BONE

This is a yarn. Make no mistake
about this. 1t is not story, nor yet
narrative, nor even a tale, but be-
cause of its salty flavor it is yarn.
Also, it is true. If you doubt it ask
the chief engineer of the good steamer
Columbian. But be prepared to run
when you ask, for he has not yet re-
covered from the tumbling of his
hopes.
w. NJ. Parke, that is the engineer 3
name, is a seaman by vocation, an en-
gineer by force of circumstances and
an angler by avocation. In other
words and without being too wordy, he
fishes whenever and wherever he can
grab an opportunity by the three front.
al hairs and make the jade get busy.
1t is not that he is hungry--the Ameri-
can-Hawaiian boats feed we'll, it is said,
especially in the engineers mess-but
he yearns to feel that thrill that comes
over the body and bones of a true fish.
erman when he hauls from the briny
struggling, squirming, kicking fish.
Generally, Chief Engineer Parke has
noteworthy luck. His tales of his con-
quests over the fnny tribes are many
and most, OIL most accurate. But on
oceasin his Wanting ambition Ger
leaps itself and-but that is the yarn.

HONOLULU CHINESE CABLE A
STRONG PROTEST TO KNOX

An earnst Christmas Eve appeal to
the government of the United States
not to allow the monarchics Of Asia and
Europe TO step in and rob the replb-
licans of China of the fruits of their
victory was cabled to Secretary of
State Knox last night by the Chinese
of Honolulu. The appeal they made,
based on the cabled intelligence in The
Advertiser that Japan and Great Brit
ain had determined to intervene and
prevent the abolishment of the Man.
chu Throne, is strong one and one
which should touch an answering chord
in the breast of every American.
The Honolulu Chinese are intensely
excited at the news from the seat of
war, so excited that a mass meeting call.
ed hurrledly yesterday for last night
was one of the most largely attended
in the history of Honolulu Chinatown.
While the rest of the nationalities of
Honolulu were celebrating the coming
of Christmas, with laughs and cheers,
confetti and horns, the Chinese were
| gathered for the stern purpose of assist
ing their fellow republicans in war SO
far as they are able.
Remember" says the cabled reso-
luton, "that the blood shed by the
Republicans in China is as sacred in the
cause of liberty as the blood of the pa.
triots shed at Bunker Hill and Benning-
ton.''

as cabled to the Secretary of State, IN

their fellow countrymen at home in

in the name of humanity and justice,
that the government Of the United

its greatest effort to prevent the inter

sWe urge the government of the

that the blood shed by the republicans

He had tasted all the delights of go
ing ashore at Port Allen. So he went
fishing. Getting out his worn tackle
he proceeded to an advantageous spot
on the poop deck and dropped his line
into the turgid waters over side. The
sun-it happened not to be raining
beat upon him and flies buzzed. The
ship sweated getting on board some of
its cargo of sugar, but none of these
things bothered the chief engineer.
Eagerly he leaned over the rail and
gazed darkly and more darkly at the
water. Nothing happened to his line.
But patience has its own reward
like virtue. The line frightened, a
faint tug limited at an inquiring fish.
He yanked-the engineer, not the fish
but without result. Nothing gave.
He yanked again. There was a slight
forward movement under water. Parke
yelled for help. 1t came. The first
assistant, of watch, went to aid his
chief-eame then the second assistant.
Another and another man came. The
stout line held Slowly the fish came
in. Triumph beamed on the features
of the chief engineer. The fish was
coming in fast. He paused from his
labors and leaned over the side. Then
he dropped back with a groan. No fish
greeted his eager eyes-no fish, merely
the shin bone of beef.
And now they do say that the Colum.
bian is the only ship that ever stayed
long enough in Port Allen to ground on
her own beef bones.
