BLUE AMD WHITE A TRIP TO HA7AII BY HORACE HALLI.IAN Off to Hawaii, the paradise of the PacificI Of course the conventional place of embarking in New York, specifically that part of the harbor? lying across Brooklyn. The vessel, u. S. S. St. LflLbial',,ia tied up at the Army and Navy pier, which istin..tha midst of the port, teeming with boats of every description. Finally the order is given to cast off and the big boat moves slowly out into the channel accompanied with the hurrahs and cheers for a happy voyage from friends left behind. Out past the Statue of Liberty, framed in the sotting sun, tfct the broa£ expanse of .the Atlantic the •boat, -is -acaompajiificl-by puffing tugs, but past Sand; Hook, they drop Ibohtnd — and the St.. Hi hi el points her prow southward. That evening as the ship glides futhcr- and further from home, the myriad lights from Alantic City twinklo a final farewell messago. This was the last view of the United States. All arise early tho first morning at soa, but this morning more than a few wore down, for during tho night tho ship had run into what an old salt might term a blow . Nevertheless, it was sufficient a storm for the sea-going land-lubbers» and in tho course of time there wa3 Uhat intvitablo fhalings of soa-sickness, and how inovitalbo that isj Now this session is laugh-provoking, but during its course, it was merely provoking.. On board ship, there are numerous recreations such as boxing and other sports 'on dbbk, as..vt70ll as an evening picture show when the weather permit ted, and of course good librarys. Another source of constant entertainment further south wore the porpoise and tho flying fish. The latter, although somo-what hard to soe during tho oidday, made a striking picture as tho sun struck their sails in late afternoon. The porpoise-slightly larger than tho flying-fish accompanied us in large schools tho whole journey They seemingly roil..along the water, but the actual motion is' a five foot jump into tho air. It'is indeed a pretty sight to sco hundreds of them rolling together. Continuec 5r )aG

15 BLUE AMD WHITE A TRIP VO HA All Con't. from page 14 Soma throe day’s journey, and tho course of the ship is changed as she points her prow south-wost-wardlv into the Caribbean 3ca. Tho waters of this fttre «no$.icahlo r. t = rough as the Atlantic eco ui.Tho ship now passes by Haiti, Cuba, and Jamaica, but no stops are made. 3y now, five days have elapsed and the ship nears tho Panama Canal. A vivid green strikes the eyes as tho stoaming jurglo appears over the horizon, and wonder of wonders, tho hillside is a mass of rod flowing down down to the shores of the sea. Indeed this is the striking picture that Colon , the gateway of tho canal presents, with every one of its roofs blood red. Lndor the big guns of tho canal: fort ilieations the £rt. aihiol glides into tho canal, there to bo towed throw h tho docks by cloctric dinkeys. Tho j?C.s a(gc-t’hr6U£ h' the canal of course was very slow, the 'ship navcing to proceed at reduced spoed, and na u-- g iring nine to ten minutes for the locks to be closed, filled, and opened; but there is certainly no lack of interest, the passangers seizing upon every object cofl' „• canal for admiraJLion and ’wonderment, especially b thc great Culobra cut through the mountains. A3 tho boat passed through Gatvin Lake the numerous islands that dotted tho water appeared to bo so choked with foliago it appeared impossible for a man to traverse th« r.. Very typical of theclime and land that was being passed thru was the great number of natives sprawled in the shade, although tho intoasc heat did not dim a whit of tho passengers interest. On the Pacific side of the canal, Balboa, which is really oa.3t of Colon on the Caribbean side, the first•prolonged stop was made, and there the • first fresh-water bath was offered sinoo'-tho boat shoved off again. First stop, Hawaii! Continued cn page 16 ??? Last night before I went to bed I saw a great big ghost, He. jumped right up above ny head And, I became his host. ---Louise Uamiihg
