The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-24

New Years Day was spent at Nag
asaki. Thanksgiving Day was spent
on the Gauges by some of the party
and some who were in the Cleveland
spent it on the Indian Ocean between
Colombo and Calcutta"
There was nothing but praise for
the way the people on board were fed,
said Mr.. Forbes AS an illustration Of
this, he mentioned that, although they
had stayed at many firstclass hotels,
the people were just as pleased to get
on board for their meals. They seemed
merely to want to 20 ashore for sight
seeing. Otherwise the ship was more
attractive to them.
Wonderful Planning.
>How marvelously well everything
had been planned was shown by the
fact that even the hotel room number
was given in advance. All the shore
going passengers had to do was to
walk ashore and their luggage would
be tagged and sent on. The next thing
they would see of it was in the roc "
of the hotel.
The usual entertainments were car
ried out on board. A fancy dress ball
enabled the passengers to show what
they had accumulated as curios all
along the route. At night there were
all sorts of entertainments, and in the
days, of course. time was whiled away
with the usual sports. Crossing the
line was properly observed. There
was no lack of taleat There were
plenty of good singers and players
among the tourists, while the ships
band of regular musicians and the
string band players were of great as
sistance.
Those on the Trips.
1t was not a floating crowd of mil
lionaires by any means Mr.. Forbes
explained. There are capitalists, law
yers. doctors, agriculturallsts; in fac,
people from practically all the profes-
sions and all ranks of Gallings. Bet il
was a congenial crowd, and everyone
helped the other to enjoy the trip
There are about the same number OF
sexes. with about eight or ten chill
dren.

A Gigantic Undertaking.
Some idea of the magnitude Of the
tour of the Hamburg-American Lines
S. S. Cleveland may be gained from th'
fact that the eastward cruise, which
started from New York on October q
involves a mileage of 22,513 by steam
er and approximately 1000 by rail an
river steamer This will end at Sal
Francisco. The westward cruis
will be begun at San Francisco an
concluded at Hamburg. On this cruis
the steamer mileage will be $4,000 an
the rail and river mileage 1000.
The start was from New York, an
the first stop was at Funchal, run .
275O miles. The other ports called
were. Gibraltar, Villefranche, Por
Said, Suez, Bombay, Colombo, DID
mond Harbor, Rangoon, Singapore, ia
/ tavia, Manila, Hongkong, Nagasak
and Yokohama. From here the boa
| will 20 to San Francisco.
The westward cruise will be begu
from San Francisco on February an
, practically the same ports will be viz
tied as on the eastern cruise, with tn
, exception that Villefranche, Fl uch5
and New York will be cut out and /
their stead will be substituted Naples
Southampton and Hamburg.
