Saturday night to Tuesday morning
voyage of the flagship of the Inter.
Island Steam Navigation Company was
full of interest from the time the lines
were cast off until the vessel was made
fast to the dock again at a most un-
holy hour yesterday morning.
In addition to providing splendid
means of seeing Kauai and Maui the
company also kindly obliged its one
hundred and five passengers by hav-
ing the steamer go on a mudbank at
Kahului and giving an opportunity to
see in how short time tug at that
port could gently but firmly persuade
her to get back to the channel. Mora

cyle with which to help him over the

Freeman pointed his boat for the open
sea. Most of the passengers stayed
up until after midnight, so enhancing
was the voyage by moonlight along the
Oahu coast. The band helped out the
moon and both disappeared together
