FROM ACROSS THE OCEAN. I
Interesting Letter from a Former Web
ster County Uoy, Now a Member
of the ist Nebraska Regiment.
CKNTKK OK I'ACIKIO OCKAN,
Ai.igil.st 20, 1808.
Wo aro at present pounding along on
the old I'acllio at a rate of fifteen and a
half knots an hour. Wo haven't scon
a foot of laud sinco Sunday afternoon,
and tomorrow ovonlng wo expect to
see Honolulu in all its glory. Wo havo
to enter tho bay at high tide or during
tho night, and just a week from tho
day wo started out of tho bay at San
Francisco wo will step on land again.
Wo will stay at Honolulu until we got
further orders. Wo expect to go into
camp there at least for about two
weeks, and maybe that will bo as far
as wo will got.
We have had a lino trip, but tho iirst
day out tho Boa was rough, washing
tho dock which is fifteen feet from tho
water, and tho waves would wash it at
ovory jump, and of nil tho sick boys
you havo over scon wo had tho beater.
I do not know why, but it did not affect
mo a bit. I guess 1 was too tough.
About four out of every 11 vo fellows on
board wero too sick to stand up. Myrt
about throw up his boots, ho was sick
about two days and Rob Champbell,
well ho was sicker than a horso, but
all tho boys aro over being sick now,
tho sea is as smooth as a mill pond and
we are gliding along. s smooth as a
ribbon. There aro just about a thous
and soldiers on board. It is not very
crowded, but I tell you they stand
thick enough, especially whou tboy aro
soa sick. Tho bunks aro furnished
with springs and straw mattresses, and
each ono is largo enough for two per
sons. Myrt and I sleep op tho top
bunk in tho second deck below. Each
deck is tilled with bunks threo layers
deep, and there is tho decks with all
tho freight below that. The ship is
nearly now and it is furnished with all
tho latest improvements. It is 475 feet
long, bolng tho largost ship that ever
entered tho bay at San Francisco. She
carries thirty feet of water and is a
beauty. We havo to take a salt water
bath every morning. Yesterday wo
broko a rod on ono of the engines and
wo lay in mid ocean for just about six
hours while about 800 boys took a mid
ocean swim. Just as we were starting
up again two largo sharks appeared on
the scono and I tell you that took most
of tho swim out of tbs boya for a while
any way. The sun stands almost over
head now, and it is something like
warm weathor. The ocean breeze is
very refreshing. caught a flying dsb
yesterday. It was1 about a foot and n
half long and had wings and tins both.
It Hew on deck and I caught it. Ono
of tho boys baited a fish hoot; yesterday
and caught a sea gull. It was about
twico tho size of a tamo gooso and was
a scrapper ftom way bacc,
rSaturday morning Well we aro still
pounding along at the rato of fifteen
and a half knots and will sooland
about noon, and will be off Honolulu
nbout 4:80 o'clock this afternoon. The
sea is smooth and wo aro enjoying our
trip. We saw anothor shark and a few
land birds which looked good to us.
Wo saw a faint outline of land at just 2
o'clook, and about a thousand voices
mado tho ocean quiver, for wo had not
iieen a foot of land since last Sunday
night. Tbo first island that wo sighted
was tho leprooy island, or the homo of
the lepers, and soon after wo sighted
Hawaii island. Wo sailed around to
the south sldo where Honolulu is situ
ated. Wo threw anchor about two
jj3 nines out irom mo wnarves, ami sig
9!V
nalled for a pilot to pilot us in, and wo
threw a powerful search light all over
tho bay and into tho city, which was
soon answered in the form of a canuon
shot, and a steam launch came out
with a pilot who said that we would
havo to wait until morning and como
in with tho tide.
Sunday morning Just a week and a
day from tho time wo stopped on board
wo pulled up to tho wharves and giized
onco more on a solid foundation, cov-
1 ored with vegetation, and the city of
Honolulu befoie ns of about 25,000 In

wo struck mud hut with the aid of two
tuir bnn' mid blocks and tackles, wo
got up to tho land In the midst of great
excitement, and in thu Hist real rain
storm wo huvu seen sluco wo loft tho
llocky mountain divide. Tho nativos
heio aro comical looking people, bolng
thu color of a light colored negro, and
about tho first thing wo saw was a lot
of houses Hunting around on tho ocean
with sktTs tied to thorn, and by tho
time wo got a half a milo from tho
shorowo seen nbout two dozen small
uativo childron leaping from tho tops
of vessels nbout twanty foot high and
coming toward us as fast as they oould
come. They would stand on their hoads
turn somersaults backward and per
form all mannor of trioks in tho water.
They wero porfeotly at home and
stayed by our ship for over a mile look
ing for a ponny tkrown in the water.
When ono was thrown thoy would all
dlvo for It, and I novor Boon them miss
n single time, and thoy would get them
it you would throw lliom four or fiyo
rods from them. Sometimes thoy
would stay down five or tun minutes.
Sunday Woll as today is Sunday
and tho peoplo hero aro very religious
wo woro told If wo vould wait until
Monday morning that wo would got a
groat reception. Thoy throw us some
bananas and pineapples and oh, myr
how good thoy did tasto, also cocoa
nuts. Wo got ashoro and took an ex
orcise march up a number of, streets
completely lined with palm, cocoa,
orango, banana nnd other tropical
trees, and a prettlor placo you nover
sot oyes on. Tho sun was qulto warm
but tho soa breezo was cool and you
would imagino you wero in paradise.
Soino of tho flowqrs were ton feet high
with blossoms as largo as water buck
ets, whilo cocoanuts, bananas, oranges,
etc., bang over your head. Wo got or
ders to stay aboard oach day, except
twenty percent of oach company. Wo
are bolng fitted out with whito suits
and largo whlto hats for hot weather,
but wo are liable to get no further than
bore. We havo to wait for orders from
San Francisco.
Monday This is a regular Nebraska
day, only the air Is moist and it is Just
the place to feel in the best of spirits,
we have just come in from a trip about
town. I tell you this is a fine piece.
You have to look for the houses among
lemon, orange, pine apple, palm, co
ooanut, banana and other tropica
trees. And flowers, well, you guess for
yourself about them.
The native, here are very smart, en
ergetic, and also very honest. There
are fifty miles of narrow guage road ou
the island and thoy charge ten cents
per mile to ride. Tho streot cars aro
large carriages with just a shade over
them, drawn by mules and on the wait
at that. Thoy trust to your honesty to
drop a nicklo in the little box in tho
corner. Thero nro somo Hno buildings
here, especially the ex-queen's build
ing. Twenty out of oach' company get
; pass to go ashoro from 10 a.m to 5
p. m. each day, my turn will comp to
night and about ovory othqr day whilo
wo aro hero. I guess wo will stay on
the ship until wo hear from San Fran
nUon. Wnll. I OXDCOt I will liaVO tO
quit now for tboy oxpeot the mall to
leave at anv time, i win wwvo
again
and tell vou what I seo tonight.
Tho
back
