Redhouss Would Keep On.
IF ! knew as much about seaman
| ship as the captain does" Redhouse
said, Il would never have come back.
All the seams have now closed up, and
| the vessel is perfectly dry. She does
rot take any water in at all She is a
nice little boat to travel in. But we got
a fright when We woke up and found
ourselves travelling the other way
! We wondered what was the matter.
/ We were off Koko Head last night, but
we could not get in. The captain takes
long tacks."
! At this point Captain Miller arrayed
j in his undress uniform of white trous-
ers, Panama hat, and no shoes or
stockings, came into the cabin Helping
himself to Macaulay's cigarette MAX
/ ings, he proceeded to inquire concern
ing the voyage.
Redhouse pointed out that although
they had only got eighty miles away
from Honolulu, they did not get bff at
Kauai
Captain Miller admitted that the
joke was on him, as he could not bring
the Ka Moi back here when he started
recently on a trip to Palmyra Island.
The captain then started on remini-
SCIENCES. and told an interesting story
of the old days in which he and a
newspaper representative figured very
prominently, to say nothing Of the
chief engineer.
Redhouse was little reminiscent
himself. The Philippines, he said, were
not very satisfactory. One got very
seasick, and solemnly stated that II
his condition did not improve, then he
would very soon be make
A Stiff Craft
Macauley had very little to say. He
agreed with Redhouse that the Eclipse
was a stiff boat, and had she been
tight above the waterline, she would
have been in good condition to make
the trip across to Manila.
The Reception on Shore.
Redhouse and Macaulay We're the
only ones to leave The ship They came
ashore in the launch with the news
paper representatives As they step
ped ashore they we're greeted by Har-
Dor Officer Weday, who shook hands
violently with Redhouse, and expressed
his pleasure at seeing him back; eX-
Harbor officer Carter, c. Turner, the
superintendent of the Seaman's In
stute, and the carpenter, who declin-
ed to so in the Eclipse owing to the
gaping seams. After the hearty vel
come had been responded to by Red
house, he and Macaulay hurried up
town together.
The Carpenters Story.

position on her as carpenter, stated
that he would not venture in her, be
cause she was unsafe. He said one
could place ones knife between the
seams above the waterline. Beneath
she was all right he said, but up above
she was not He did not care when the
captain told him that he had cold feet.
He would rather have cold feet on
shore, than a burial at sea any time.
Ex-Harbor Officer Carter gave the
opinion that she would never reach
Manila.
Miller Bars The Eclipse.
Captain Miller said that along tho
waterfront, there was an assertion
that he could buy a portfolio and build
a ship around her. That might be
true, but he had never had any long
ings to become the owner of the pala-
tial Eclipse. He had an opportunity to
become the possessor of her a few
years ago, but he ruthlessly plucked
the desire to increase his fleet, and
did not buy her. He had no loneng4
whatever to own the Eclipse.
The vessel is now anchored opposite
the quarantine station, and it is
thought that all repairs viii be effected
as she lies there She is an object OF
special attention along the Waterfront
and her arrival was watched with i'm
