spots of clubs, whereupon the suspect
was confronted with his handiwork but
refused to disgorge his ill-gotten gains,
much to the discontinue of his fell
lows, who could ill-afford to thus foul
ly loose their bank-rolls just previous
to disembarking for their long-antici-
pated Hawaiian session. The other
players soon appeared in the court
room and entered charges in their sew
eral and particular instances, they be-

Robert Wankowski, and Frank Bilger.
The judge, being anxious to get into
the 'swimming-tank, advised them to
take a change of venue, or else docket
the case, and he would call it up on
our homeward-bound voyage As the
aggrieved could obtain no solace from
this, or recover their funds in time to
do themselves any good, or prevent
the aggressor from dissipating same,
they cultivated the most extreme and
dignified grouches-and the only ones
so far observed upon the voyage. The
judge went in swimming, and the Doc
tor was noticed still in the smoking
room at late hour that night.
The yell leaders were very busy in
the MUSHROOM during this afternoon,
much to the discontinue of the more
peaceably inclined.
There were two protracted sessions
of the Bounding Billow Lodge, Sons of
Aaron, late in the afternoon, but at
later sick call no patients were report
ed in the sick bay.
This being the last night out, the
Captain and officers of the Shriners
ship Wilhelmina rendered to the cara
van members a testimonial banquet
which was a triumph for the stewards
department, joy to the officers, and
a great satisfaction to those who par

white silk and the cover was tasteful
ly arranged and sparkling with senti-
ment and goodwill
While the dinner was in progress
the POSTMASTER, Peter Johnson, called
on Noble Samuel M. Foster to produce
an epic he had been struggling with
earlier in the day. 1t proved a jewel,
and is worthy place in Shrine arch
ives:
The good ship Wilhelmina
Sailed out the Golden Gate;
On board a band of Shriners
And the Imperial Potentate.
Our course lay west from Frisco.
Chasing the setting-sun,-
Each face agTow with pleasure,
Each Shriner out for fun.
The Cap-a fellow Skinner
Ruled with steady hand.
How'd do, George Filmer,
The second i'm command.
All good things he had furnished,
From weather to champagne,
And mirth and joy ran riot
AS we sailed the raging main.
Many and fair were the ladies',
Kind and jolly the men,
The like has never before happened
And never can happen again.
Six days we rode the pillows
OF the broad Pacific ocean,
Forgetting naught of duty,
4 Not even our Sundays devotion.
To hear Bill Brown sing Boylston
Was good for gods and men,
No one believed he could do il,
/ But he showed them there and
then.
It's true we were short on praying.
At which King Potentate SHE'D,
/, And there wasn't any other Shriner
Sufficiently sanctified,
S But Of all the wonderful doings
a Upon this remarkable trip
S You must learn from our historian
t And hear from another mans lips
!. To our Brother, Captain Johnson,
