Elements Meet Defeat r.
Even the fact that the machinery oil
the elements slipped a cog and sent a
torrent of rain down upon Kauai fol-
several hours after the AID Club dele
cation landed, could not mar the sue
cess OF the occasion. The Ad Club
spirit ran high and unchecked, and
as 1t mingled with as great an enthu-
siasm from the Kauaians, formed the
nucleus of movement To carry out
the program as arranged. and, despite
the rain, nothing was omitted. There
was feasting and singing; trips over
Kauai's beautiful roads; visits to
points of interest, and, last hut by nc
means least. business. And the bust
ness end of the invasion saw that
many Kauai men became members oil
the AID Club and it even was broached
that the Garden Island may form an
Ad Club of its own. ii
For two solid days the Ad Club was
in possession OF the keys of Kauai

lice called in and the keys to the jail

nolulu now have a better understand

anders have a clearer understanding
OF just what the Ad Club stands for
what its work is and what it has and
will accomplish.
The Ad Club members and their la
dies icft Honolulu at 9 o'clock Friday
evening. The steamer Mauna Loa
proved to beca staunch craft and, the
sea being smooC> there were but few
evidences of the q, pleasures of an
ocean voyage. The en. 'ug was given
over to- singing, cheerl, : speech
making and music, the passengers
gathered in the dining saloon, where
a lunch was served at 10 o'clock. Fol-
lowing this, there was dancing on
deck to the music of Ernest Kaai's or
chestra.
Ad Clubbers who, having booked al
the last moment, were unable to Sc
cure beEths. So they condescended to
accept mattresses on the deck. BY
midnight the ship was dark and moth
ing could be heard save the throbbing
of the engines. One O'Clock came,
and with it the rain. Then, to add to
this, the sea roughened. A light wind
was blowing, and this, coming into
contact with the rain, famed the
deek-sleepers with a light spray. But
the sleepers. unconscious of this,
continued to be engrOssed in dreams.
But they were rudely awakened when
the sea began coming over the side,
The deck became awash. The mat
tress men looked about for a moment
and then rolled themselves more
tightly in their blankets and refused
to move or be troubled, for they were
Ad Club men, and nothing daunts the
Ad Club. No one got very wet, and
those who did didn't care.
Welcome for Visitors :.
To James A. Kennedy president
and manager of the lnter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, who
made the trip, was extended the
hearty thanks OF the Ad Club. The
Mauna Loa lacked nothing in the way
of comforts and good eats, not to
the substantial stock Of liq-
uid refreshments and cigars. Mr..
Kennedy looked first to the wants of
the passengers, and then Joined with
the others in the funmaking Credit
also is due the officers of the steamer,
who were lavish in their efforts to
provide for the comforts of the excur-
sionists.
On account of the roughness of the
sea, the speed was slackened and the
Loa anchored off Waimea at
Ills O'Clock Saturday morning. Small
boats conveyed the passengers to
shore There was a large gathering
of Kauai people on the slip, Messrs.
Moragne, Wishard, Horner,
Spitz, RolIrig, McBryde, Hofgaard and
Brandt being among the members of
