TENTH COMPANY LIKES
De RUSSY AND STARTS
TO BOOSTING H0h0LU LU

How do I like Honolulug said a
member of the Tenth in answer to
that question yesterday afternoon.
why, I'm already in love with the
place and I think that every other
man in the company feels the same
way about It as do
t. On the broad, coral-studded plain
directly opposite the gun battery at
Fort De Russy. the 105S members OF
the Tenth company Of coast artillery,
which arrived on the q. 8. A. T. Sher-
tidan yesterday. and which is making
its initial visit to the Hawaiian ISL
ands, waited patiently all yesterday
afternoon for their tents to arrive from
the ship, in order that they might
pitch camp. Guns, baggage and COM
nissary supplies were piled here and
there In orderly heaps, while the men
lounged around playing baseball, and
watching the engineers install the
electric lamps which will light the
new camp
The Tenth company is perhaps one
OF the finest looking lot of Uncle
Sans men that ever came to the ISL
ands; big, husky. fellows who are well
disciplined and we'll drilled: men who
take great pride In their company.
They have been stationed for the past
few years at Fort Winfield Scott, Cali
ifornia, and from the remarks which
went around yesterday afternoon, they
are going to like Hawaii even better
than they did their former post at the
Preside. They did not seem to mind

in getting out to the new camping
grounds, for they had been promised
quarters with the Engineers at De
Russy. ,~
"Ih a climate like this" said one of
the men," we wouldn't mind sleeping
out of doors for few nights"
Shortly before the Sheridan reached
Honolulu the company commander re-
ceived a wireless from the commander
of Company I, of the engineers at Fort
De Russy, inviting the men Of the
Tenth to be the guests of the men of
the latter company at dinner last
night, the invitation being accepted
When the Tenth arrived at the new
camping grounds yesterday noon
Company l of the engineers also en-
tertained the new arrivals at lunch.
The tents for the company COM
menced to arrive from the transport
at late hour last night and the
work of pitching camp, installing the
cots, and building the cook shack was
started at once. The camp will face
on Kalia road and the tents arranged
in. streets" Captain Stayton- and
First Lieutenant Tilton, of the Tenth,
and several other officers from Fort
De Russy, went over the grounds yes
terday afternoon, picking out the 10
cation of the camp, and planning for
the sanitation of the site. When
completed, it will be model camp
with a company of model soldiers.
The only thing that we miss here
at the camp is our mascot" said
First Sergeant William L. Mayne.
I'VE did Our best to save him, but the
quarantine officers got him and
sentenced him to do time for four
months at the quarantine station. Yes,
he is a dog; black water spaniel.
We have had him five years and we
could get along without him about as
we'll as we could without a cook"
On being asked concerning the
athletic end of the company, Sergeant
Mayne went on to say that the COM

but that as the season was now over
for that sport, the eleven would have
