THE PACIFIC COMMEECIAL ADVERTISES, OCTOBER 7, 1884.
This Morning's Fire
A Vessel Escapes Great
Injury.
Shortly after 4 o'clock this morn-
a fire was discovered on
hoard the bark Forest Queen of San
iDgham Bay last Thursday' loaded
with lumber, and is docked near
"Wilder's wharf. The Fire Depart
ment speedily arrived at the scene
and extinguished the fire within an
hour. The fire was confined to the
cabin "which is not damaged any fur
ther than its wood work is charred.
The first mate who first discovered
the fire, and gave the alarm to the
"Wharf Watchman, Cooke, can give no
cause for It. Great credit is due the
promptness with which the members
of the Fire Department responded to
the alarm, and afterwards for the ser
vices rendered by them.

Hull on Hoar a the "Tsiikuba."
A very pleasant party was given on Friday
afternoon by Captain Aridji and the officers
of n. I. J- slP Tsukuba. It was
ftixacially intended as recognition of the hos-
.pifality and care freely extended to the sick
Japanese sailors who were last year received
ito the Queen's Hospitaland there so skil
fully treated. On that occasion all ex
penses were at His Majesty's suggestion
paid by the Government, and .tlie sick
. , A i
sailors became national guests, as was
proper and seemly underthe circumstances.
Captain Aridji and his officers desired in
giving their profusely hospitable enter
tainment yesterday to tender to the King,
the Government, the members of both sec
tions of the Legislature and the officials of
the Hospital an expression of national
gratitude for this attention.
The ship was prepared for this pleasing
social event ia a most tasteful manner, and
it is a thing to be deplored that the shock of
recent deaths should have led so many who
were to have been present to absent them
selves. His Majesty the King was there,
and joined in the dancing, for which the
deck of the Tsukuba is admirably adapted.
About a hundred guests were present during
the afternoon, including many of tho
leadinsr people in our official and
society circles, but the ladies were
much in the minority, and the Japanese
officers, many of whom are accomplished in
the art of dancing, were badly off for part
ners. Without disparaging the charms of
the unmarried ladies, it may be said that the
belle of the assembly was the bride whose
advent in Honolulu society was specially
celebrated lastJTuesday evening. Need it be
aid that the ship was most tastefully decor
ated. The Japanese excol all other nations
in such matters. The main deck was paneled
and canopied with flatcs, and when dusk
came on, and the long strings of crimson
lanterns destined for the illumination of the
ball-room were lighted, the effect was ex
ceedingly pretty. A profusion of refresh
ments, both light and substantial, added to
the enjoyment of the guests, for, after all,
supper will engage the thoughts even of the
maddest dancer. The entertainment, and
the kindly and courteous hosts will long be
remembered by those who had the pleasure
of being present.
Iteturiieri.
Hon. Mrs. Beckley, the Government Li
brarian, who has been enjoying her vacation
on the Island of Molokai for the past three
weeks, suddenly returned on account of a
rumor of a fire on her premises. This
lady, who is one of the most intelligent in
the Kingdom, appears to be still in frail
health, and we regret that her well-earned
holiday should have been interrupted by a
rumor which proved to have been an ex
aggerated one.
Miss Florence Marryat will lecture on
the subject, "What shall we do with our
men?' You wonH make any mistake if
you should club some of them, Florence.
A Commendable Experiment.
James G. Swan, Esq., Hawaiian Consul at
Port Townsend, who is also U. S. Fish Com
missioner, has lately beeu making experi
ments with Capt. C. L. Hooper of the U. S.
Revenue Cutter Richard Bush, at the en
trance to the Straits of Fuca with a 50
fathom deep sea cod,gill net for the purpose
of getting a supply of black cod. The net
was set in 55 fathoms, but the strong cur
rent carried the buoys under. Another net
with extra glass floats has been sent from
Washington. In case of success Mr. Swan
intends sending some of these delicious food
fish to the Hawaiian Islands, and endeavor
to introduce them in these waters.

The steam street roller is getting to be a
nuisance. It seems that its engineer exer
cises no judgment in its management, re
specting the passage of horses and vehicles
but takes a kind of delight in putting steam
on a time when horses with vehicles are
passing by. On Thursday evening last a hack
which contained two of our citizens was
turned over on King street, and it was oc
casioned by the noise of tho steam roller,
vrhich, it is expected, was unnecessarily
made at the time. Why cannot this roller
bo used during the night time, whea there
are few, if any, family carriages, and rery
little travel on the main thoroughfare4 This
steam roller will yet be responsible for x
life or two.
