Ship masters have for several years past considered that Honolulu Is a good place to keep away from. They have understood mat captains of sail ing vessels get in trouble very easily here and that a term of a few months in Oahu prison usually follows, Very few captains know what the place is really like and it is a relief to find one who says that Honolulu is a good place. Captain Graham of the ship E. M. Phelps said yesterday: "In the East captains all say that Honolulu is a place where everyone from the lowest custom's officer to the judge of the highest fcourt soak one. I have found this to be untrue. When I came here my sailors put up a job on me. They put a card up in their quarters in a wrong manner. Then some of them filed a complaint with United States District Attorney Breckons and in due course Collector of Customs Stackable imposed a fine of a hundred dollars on me. because of his card. I went to Mr. Breckons and to Mr. Stackable and ex- plained the sailors' trick. I also gave them proof. They investigated the matter and found my statements to be true and immediately remitted the fine, i Now what I have to say is that this port does not deserve the reputation that some people have given it. I find Messrs. Stackable and Breckons gentle men and fair dealers in every way and everyone I have come in contact with here has treated me in the same way." The E. M. Phelps has not received her orders yet. She may remain here! for a couple of months. Captain Gra- ham has a force of about thirty men on her at present cleaning up. Coal dust is being washed from every por tion of the vessel and in a few days she will be a mass of shining white paint. Anyone desiring to see what the finest sailing vessel in the American merchant fleet looks like would do well to- visit the Phelps as soon as she isin cleaned up. Her appearance will be a surprise to many people. While hun-. dreds will eagerly look over the newl Korea to learn of the improvements ' that have been made in steamer con-jlau coast' tw0 huSe waves caught her struction they should not forget that and had they come broadsides on the improvements are also being made con- little craft would have foundered. They tinuously in the sailing fleet and that attribute the vvaves t0 a marine earth. a look over the Phelps will give them! . " Ovw ' . - - - " -" O are. Schooner Herman's Long Stay. The little treasure schooner Herman still lies at Sorenson's wharf. She has now been in this port for nearly a month ana has J5een ready to sail for about ten days but no one aboard of her seems to have any idea as to when she is going. Her passengers spend their time in the chairs on her cosy canvas-covered deck and do not seem to have the slightest of troubles. Cap tain Brown's ill-health may be one of the causes of the vessel's detention. Anchors Net Very Large. " The starboard anchor of the schooner John G. North which had such a tussle with a storm at Punalu still bangs from the vessel's bow. One part of it is broken so that it is now useless. Many people who saw it yesterday ex press surprise that such a small anchor was capable of withstanding as much strain as the vessel caused during the blow. Carpenter B. D. Pender, who has been stationed for some months at the Navy Station in Honolulu, will leave on the Oceanic steamer Ventura on September 9th for San Francisco where he has orders to report at the Union Iron Works. Mr. Pender has his fami ly with him and they will return to the Coast by the same steamer. HONOLULU HARBOR, MAY. 1900. J J, x HONOLULU HARBOR. could do, the revolution made in the MAN OF THE SEA ! WAS ROBBED Mate Ross of Ship E. M. Phelps Lost $120 in 'a Night's Carousal. The ways of sailors are queer. They never like to have to acknowledge It when they have made fools of them selves. Mate Ross who came to Hono lulu on the ship E. M. Phelps from Norfolk had considerable money on ar rival here. He was counted a good man by the captain of the vessel and it was decided that he was to stay on board of her until she should again be ready to sail, although all the other members of the crew had' been dis charged. Ross worked like a steam engine dur ing the time that the coal brought by the vessel was being discharged but at the same time he wanted recreation and wished to indulge In what people term a "good time." Taking a hundred and twenty dollars he started out to have it one evening. He visited nearly every resort in Honolulu and some "kind" fellow undertook to guide him around. Finally his guide took all the money and left poor Ross lying in a drunken sleep in a field up toward the Pali. Ross, the man who could whip any man on the waterfront with his .left hand while sober, had been done up. When he came to his senses he realized his position keenly. He was sore, not because of the loss of the money but because some other fellow had beaten him. He was ashamed. He .still had money due him fr,om the ship out instead of drawing this he went down to the transport Buford and made arrangements to work his passage to San Francisco. When leaving on the Buford he de- clared that he WOuld never again set foot in Honolulu. Big Waves Caught Malolo.
