the luggage of the adventurers came

Just what to pack is often knotty

Nothing was overlooked. From the

FISH FROM HAWAII NEI
ADD To BEAUTY OF BOHEMIAN D|NNER|
8. ~ FTr, II, -,

With varicolored fish sent from Ho-
nolulu as the spectacular feature of
most novel table decoration, remark
able dinner was given in the red room
of the Bohemian Club at San Francisco
on the evening of April Is. The fish
were taken to San Francisco on the last
trip of the Honolulan, in care of F. A.
Potter, superintendent of the Honolulu
Aquarium.
Mr.. Potter took $50 fish, but only
sixty-fve survived the rigors of the
trip and the changes in the tempera-
ture of the water. The survivors had
been nursed back to health in the tanks
of the Lurline baths, and these demon
strated to the dinner guests who watch
ed them living and swimming in the
pond set in the center of the table,
that they are among the most beautiful
specimens of the fny tribe in the seven
seas.
A circular table surrounded an illu-
minated pool in which the fish so well
known in the tanks of the Waikiki
aquarium disported their fnery and
colors.
The dinner had been planned months
in advance, and the fish part of the
spectacle was the surprise sprung upon
the guests. Every care was made to
keep the secrets and the majority of the
guests, most of whom had visited the
Hawaiian Islands, We're effeetually sur
| prised by the novelty. In the days OF
Golden Rome, the Caesars partook OF
The Hawaiian gazette., 1912-04-26

fish and foods brought across seas and
mountain ranges, from the shores of
Africa and the wilds of the world of
the SlAvs. In these twentieth century
days the epicures carry fish alive for
two thousand miles that guests may en-.
joy an unusual spectacle.
The dinner was typical of the luaus
of Hawaii. A hidden orchestra played
Hawaiian numbers throughout the re-
past, and carnation leis were worn a la
Hawaii. The guests were Mayor Rolph,
R. p. Rithet, Warren Clark, Paul Isen-
berg of Honolulu, Capt. William Mat
son, August Hamburg, George Hind, w.
II. Laboyteaux, James McNab, Wallace
Alexander, James Rolph Sr., Mackenzie

TRANSPORT IS FULL;
ACCOMMODATIONS NIL

" Nothing doing in accommodations
for territorial employees on the trans
port for July s." was the disquietinG
message sent out yesterday afternoon
by Norman Courtenay, secretary to
the Governor, who stands as buffer be-
twixt anxious teachers and other ter
ritorial employees and the man who
they believe can solve their transpor-
tation troubles for them.
The Governor has just received word
from the war department that there
will be two regiments of infantry on
the transport which passes through
here Friscowards on that date, and that
any attempt to get passage for local
people will be hopeless. Consequently
Secretary Courtenay was entrusted
with the onerous duty of explaining to
the incredulous just why it is useless
to ask the Governor for the much COW
eted transport cabin.

WIRELESS SILENT
Passenger Says the
Liners Crew Was
Unframed.

BOSTON, April 24,-Witb the arrival
of the Leyland liner Californian in port
it was learned last night that while
the Titanic was sinking and during the
hours that her twenty-three hundred
passengers were facing death the Cali
fornian was lying within twenty miles
of her, and could have reached the
sinking steamer and saved all the pas
sengers, had the officers known of the
Titanic IS plight. The ships log of the
Californian records her position at the
time when the Titanic encountered the
iceberg, and during the succeeding
hours when hundreds were perishing al
most within signaling distance.
By an unfortunate coincidence, the
Californian was at that time hemmed
in by icefoes, possibly fragments from
the great berg which wrecked the Ii
tanic, and was in imminent danger her
self. For several hours the engines of
the Californian were stopped and the
wireless was consequently dead, while
the operator on the sinking steamer was
flashing appeals for help, unrecorded on
the Leyland liner.
