OAHU TOURS
ARE ESTABLISHED


The autobus tours Of the island seem
to be an established form of outing
for tourists and others. Yesterday
the bus started from the Public Ser
vice Association on King street at
half-past seven and was back shortly
after six, having encircled the island
via the Pail without a mishap of any
kind.
Principally at half-past seven the big
bus started off on it's long journey
with nineteen passengers, the major
ity of whom were tourists. Before
the Pail had been reached a couple,
who had arrived at the rooms after
the hour advertised, we're taken on
board from an automobile that had
raced after the autobus all the way
from town.
The Pail was soon reached and the
/ descent was made in fine style, al
/ though there was the usual nervous
ness when negotiating the sharp
curves, but chauffeur Simmons soon
gained the confidence of all, and the
beautiful outlook was enjoyed by ev-
eryone without thought to the ardu-
Gus task that Simmons had in pilot
ing the machine down toward Kane.
ohe.
At Kaneohe a stop was made for a
few minutes in order that telephone
communication could be made with
the Aubrey Hotel at Hauula so that
the proprietor could be apprised OF
the expected hour of arrival and the
number of guests to provide lunch for
] The telephone assistants, however
were at church or somewhere else
and the hotel could not be commun
icated with.
The roads were in perfect order
and the run along the coast with tn
sea on the right-hand side, and the i'm
posing mountain range on the left
, hand side, ives thoroughly enjoyable
The bus was running fine, and tn
genial tourists added to the pleasur
of the trip.
The Aubrey Hotel was reached b
. half-past eleven, and the run of tn
hotel was permitted by Mr. Aubrey
The sightseers were allowed a littl
over fifteen minutes in which to strol
around ard refresh themselves. Their
was no chance of getting lunch owin
to its being too early for this mea.
and the hour of arrival was not know
on account of the failure to establish
telephone communication.
Then the long run to Haleiwa wa
begun. Thus was just as enjoyable a
the other part of the Journey, an
shortly after half-past one this beat
tiful hotel was reached. Those VIII

charmed with it, for its surrounding

fine appointments. The hungry toul
. lists were served with lunch, and neet
less to say they did thorough justic
to it after a long fast and an appetite
giving ride
The visitors did not leave for tn
homeward journey until a quarter-pas
three. A fine run home was made
and the Public Service Associatio
rooms were reached before half-paf
six. Everyone enjoyed the long tri
around, especially those who had mad

The arrangements were carried OF
without a hitch, and each point wa
L reached dead on time. The trips ca
ried out so far thoroughly indicat
