sionists returned this morning in the
Kinau from 4 flying jaunt To Kauai.
The trip was a big success from start
to finish, one OF the pleasing features
being the diversity of amusement Of

tion. The personally conducted" ele-
ment was lacking, except inasmuch
as everyone was relieved of tedious
responsibilities. and the expenses cut
to bedrock prices by careful man

The schedule was changed more
than once, but owing to the fact that
Kauai is peculiarly fortunate in the
matter Of landing places and connect

change the steamers ports Of call and
times Of departure and at the same
time give the passengers a chance to
see more OF the island. All in all,

Rough Trip Across.
The excursion started inauspicious-
1y. with an exceptionally rough trip
across, during which the good ship
Kinau performed some marvellous
feats of ground and lofty tumbling,
but this worked to the advantage Of
Kauai, for the welcome that the tour
lists gave the Garden Island was even
more spontaneous and sincere than
that given them by the residents.
That's saying a lot, too, for Kauai
turned out en- masse to give the visit
brs good time, and helped in every
way possible to make the outing an
enjoyable one.
