The younger of the two heroes of tlie
American Navy found Honolulu pleas
ant and quite like a place on the Main
land. Lieut. Hobson, traveling by the
mail steamer Gaelic, was here all of
Saturday. During his stay he was
shown about by Special Agent Sewall
you. This is the idea of the general
appreciation of American citizens for
wuai has been done in this war by
American citizens. Everywhere "is the
recognition pronounced and earnest
and grounded in the spirit of Ameri
canism. "I wish to assure you that the little
p:ece of work with which I had the priv
ilege of being associated was but an
index cf the status that existed in the
i!cet, and the same status friends ex
isted in the army ashore.
"From my prison window I saw the
rsagnificent work the soldiers did. the
unrivaled work, when they charged up
Juan hill against the entrenched
enemy with his flanking machine
guns, and they themselves unsupported
by artillery. (Applause.)
"You all know, perhaps have heard
how, when the matter of taking the
Merrimac in was brought up, the whole
fleet volunteered for the service.
"Let me tell you a little further,
more graphically, perhaps, that when
it was known that I had the selection
of the crew, the men would come to
me and plead and beg and pray that I
would let them go.
"Some would say, 'Mr. Hobson. we
cruised together on the Chicago back
in '90 and '91. Don't you remember
me? I was captain of the fore-top. I

so that it was deemed necessary by the
commanding officer, on arrival at Ho
nolulu, to make a careful examination
of the boilers and appurtenances to as
certain what was the matter and see
what repairs were necessary. The ex
amination was made and the repairs
that were reported by the chief engi
neer to be absolutely necessary before
proceeding to sea were made by the
ship's force.
It was determined that ro appreci
able advantage could be obtained by
the employment of a force from shore
Coaling the ship and repairing the ma
chinery were completed at nearly the
same time, about midnight, July 12.
Then it was found that a little more
coal could be stowed, and it was sent
for, and at 11 o'clock a. m., July 13, the
ship proceeded to sea in company with
the Nero
It is stated in the evidence that the
defects discovered in the engines and
appurtenances were of such a nature
that the ship could not have prudently
proceeded on her voyage until repairs
weremade.
The ship went to sea with her dis
tiller still making undrinkable water,
but Capt. Whiting had taken the pre
caution to put in the double bottoms
30,000 gallons of fresh water for drink
ing purposes, although the use of such
water was protested against by the
medical authorities.
Capt. Whiting addressed a letter to
Secretary Long from Mariveles, P. I.,
Oct. 23, in which he says:
Notwithstanding the fortuitous con
sequences 'to myself, attendant upon
the cruise of this vessel to the relief of
the Asiatic fleet at 'Manila, I should
consider myself derelict in my duty as

is over, if I failed to call the attention

Lieut. Hobson reached the Pacific
Mail wharf not more than ten minutes
before the Gaelic cast away her lines.
The dock was white with people and in
the crowd there were more women
than men. The Honolulu jam was
courteous as ever, there always being
kept an avenue to the gangway of the
ship. The amateur photographers were
on hand in full force. After several
false alarms had been started, the
Lieutenant appeared at the entrance
with Special Agent Sewall and Mr. Bal
lou. The band started up with popular
melodies and Lieut. Hobson uncovered
to Dixie and to the cheering. A couple
of leis were given the hero and he ac
cepted them gracefully. He shook
hands with about 200 people and gave
the most cordial grasp of all to a sol
dier. In the main saloon on the ship
were President Dole and several other
officials, and here also Lieut. Hobson
found a Hawaiian Quintette Club and
at once took an interest in the native
rlaying and singing. There were no
kisses offered the handsome young
man who has become so famous.
It was when Lieut. Hobson appeared
on the bridge with the ship captain and
the port pilot that the greatest ovation

two fine fellows who didn't know how
to make a choice and they drew straws.
"The man who drew the long straw,
Murphy, a fine.fellow, they say jumped
six feet into the air when he drew it.
"Friends, the other fellow they 6ay
his countenance fell, his face was as
ong as a yard stick and he moped
ground and came up finally and said,
iurphy, I .will give you my whole
I vpflr's nav if vim will let. me arrr in in
your stead.'
"Friends, let me assure you that
those sailors and those soldiers who
did this work simply come from among
the Americans. They are simply a type
of American citizenship of which you
are the representatives in this forward
movement of our Nation, and I believe,
that American citizenship will not be
found unequal to any work that may
fall to its lot. It will not, even in the
face of dangers and obstacles, shirk any
of the duties the American race owes
in the uplifting of the human race."
Applause and cheers followed till the
steamer was wrell out in the channel.
Lieut. Hobson was immensely pop
ular on the ship and by his demeanor
here made many friends. It cannot be
even hinted that his head has been
turned by the attention that he has re
ceived. He is good natured in speech,
is careful in utterance, impresses one
as being thoughtful. He is of rather
slight build, is handsome. The Adver
tiser picture of Hobson last Saturday
morning was an excellent one.
The Lieutenant has a voice that is
quite exceptional. It is strong and re
sonant, yet has the mellow effect of the
ordinary voice of the South, hj being
a son of Alabama. Every word he ut
tered could be heard distinctly. At

A Trunk Puzzle.
A young son of J. J. Williams found
yesterday morning a trunk near the
Makiki cemetery. It had been opened
from the rear and still contained some
of the belongings of some one. The
police department was notified and an
officer brought the baggage to the sta

been committed. The trunk awaits an

and
men under the most trying and difficult
circumstances. The ability, courage,
zeal and endurance shown by them in
crossing the Pacific ocean in a vessel
of this type, practically a raft with only
sixteen inches freeboard in her over
loaded condition, certainly deserve
some recognition. A cruise of over
7,000 miles in the tropics., in excessive
temperatures, with what small deck
room there is in the ship packed with
coal so that sleeping places and sleep
were almost unobtainable luxuries for
the forty days spent at sea all hands
upon a limited amount of fresh water,
struggling with appurtenances and en
gines never designed for such overload
ed service, continually breaking down
and as continually being repaired no
war duty has been more onerous or
more disheartening. Anticipating a
fight to the death with the nemy's
heaviest force afloat, the voyage has
been all a forlorn hope from the be
ginning, recognized as such by all who
participated, heartily joined in without
flinching, happily ending without an
incident, yet only needing disaster to
emphasize what I write."
