Show THE SAUNA SUN, SAUNA, UTAH Ships Pestered by Stowaways $ Youth Finds Thrills in ing taBeat Way to Try Honolulu. Honolulu, T. H. One of the chief dBertisements of the usual ocean voyage between Honolulu and mojnland jmrts of the United States Is the unand their covering of stowaways transfer to passing ships In mid Scarcely a trip Is made without the passengers being entertained by incidents connected with stirring stowaways. As the ,'ity of Honolulu was pass ..Jng-jiof the harbor at Honolulu on her lat trip to Wilmington, the Los Angeles port, she met the Calawii 'of the same line coming Into port. Both ships stopped and the Calawaii let down a lifeboat to transfer two stowaways to the City of Honolulu. While the transfer was being made one of the stowaways, Edward J. Ollara twenty-twyears old, of New Orleans, Jumped overboard and started to swim ashore, two miles. "Unaware of Sharks. . Either O'Hara was ignorant of the fact that the waters outside the reef here ore Infested with sharks, or he was willing to take a desperate chance to reach the Islands of his dreams. At any rate, he started out with strong swimming strokes for the distant palin-lineshore, while the passengers of both the Cafawhii'ahd the City of Honolulu lined the decks to watch the outcome of the dangerous exploit They shouted their encouragement to the young man. The small boat delivered the other stowaway to the City of Honolulu, and in the meanwhile the one who had taken to the water was making fast progress toward the reef where the white breakers piled a flood of water Into thp more quiet Inner harbor. It happened that the officer of a submarine which was cruising nearby saw the stowaway jump overboard and strike out for shore. The submarine started in pursuit of the daring swimmer. It came alongside the stowaway in the course of 20 or 30 min utes and a life preserver to which a rope was attached was thrown to him OHara was hauled on board and was delivered to port officers. He was per mitted to remain here, as the law of deportation applies only to aliens. The other stowaway was made to work his way back to Wilmington on the City. .of Honolulu. Most of these stowaways,' both on the ships plying between San Francisco and Honolulu and between Los Angeles and Honolulu, are youths of seventeen to the early twenties in years of age. They are more numerous during the' much vacation period, and tin's college Is. explained by the statement that many of them are students who are Pa-ifi- ut o d merely seeking adventure. They know that the worst thing that can happen to them Is to be put to work, once they are discovered, or to be returned Once to their port of embarkation. Honolulu or the mainland ports are reached, they are permitted to go ashore and go about their own bus! ness. Searching the ships for stowaways is a daily performance on these boats. Many Methods Adopted. Many ingenious methods are adopted by stowaways to gain free passage across the Pacific, it is not a difficult matter for them to get aboard while the ships are In port and once aboard they are able to select whatever biding place may best suit them. One of the most unusual instances of a successful voyage of this kind was that of a young college student who, by some means not known to the ships officers, gained access to one of the s cabbest and highest-price- d ins which had not been sold and was therefore unoccupied. This young man was well dressed, a good conversationalist and no suspicion was aroused among the stewards and passengers whom he met that he was not a paid passenger. He evidently had gotten aboard before the regular passengers began to arrive, as he escaped being asked for bis ticket He was careful to go in and out of the stateroom when the room steward for that section was not looking and he kept his door locked at all times. After the first day or two out of the port of Wilmington, however, be took his meals in the first class dining room and his table companions enjoyed his conversation very much, they afterThis declared. ward stowaway reached Honolulu and then wrote a letter to the steamship company thanking Its officials for the splendid treatment he had received and promising to patronize the line again when he got ready to return to the mainland. first-clas- May Be Worlds Record for Bumming Ones Way Champaign, 111.
