STEAMER SIERRA
FOR KNIGHTS OF
CRUISE
Oceanic Liner Chartered for
Big Special Excursion From
San Francisco
LARGE PARTY TO STAY :,
EIGHT DAYS IN CITY
Visit to Hiio and Volcano Will
Be Feature of Trip by Well
Known Organization

One OF the largest. tourist parties
that ever came to Hawaii, riValling in
numbers the Shriner pilgrimage Of
three years ago. will reach Honolulu
early next July for an eight days stay.
The party will be made up OF Knights
of Columbus and their friends. Il
This organization has chartered the
steamer Sierra for a three weeks
cruise. It is expected that there will
be at least 200 in the party. Their
itinerary includes a trip to Hilo and
the Volcano.
Several months ago the Star-BulIe-
tin learned that there was possibili-
ty that the Knights of Columbus would
come to Honolulu for a trip. The ed.
itor of this paper at once took up the
matter with the San Francisco coun-
ell of the organization and got In
touch with Edward H. Coleman. chair
man of the cruise committee. Letters
were exchanged, the Star Bulletin urg-
ing upon the knights the desirability
of the cruise. After some negotia-
tions with the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany the charter has now been settled,
according to the latest word from
Chairman Coleman. and the cruise 10 q
certainty.
Writing from SAM Francisco, Chair.
man Coleman says under date OF De
eember 5:
ssan Francisco, Dec. 5th, 1914.
mr. Riley H. Allen,
Editor OF the Honolulu Star Bulle-
"a. tin, Honolulu, T. Fl.
Dear Sir: Since writing you last
November / have been busy getting
the steamer for the Knights OF Colum-
bus cruise and am pleased to let you
know that | have at last been able to
get the Oceanic Steamship Company
to let us charter their 8. 8. Sierra. We.
will leave San Francisco on the 22nd
of June and return to San Francisco
on the 18th Of July. It Is our inten-
ton to go first to Hilo, reaching that
port on the 2Sth, making the excursion
to the Volcano the next day, proceed
to Honolulu, and spend eight days In
that city.
During the stay at Honolulu am
anxious to give the knights of Column
bus the time of their life. The ar
rangements have been put in the hands
of the Ems-Hall Tours Co., who took
charge Of the Elks party last spring.
Il have received a great number
of applications and there is no doubt
that the party will be complete be-
fore long.
Il have also taken up the matter Of
instituting new council at Honolulu.
AS soon as hear from the national
offices in New Haven regarding this
I shall be only too pleased to let you
know. In the meantime shall look
forward to the day when / shall meet
you and can assure you that the
Knights are anxious to see your beau
tiful islands H. ID
