CROSSING THE EqUATOR. five storeys at eaeh end ellt only
• man saw.. as*
The following is an extract from
an interesting letter by Mr. T H
Rate, formerly of Mitchell, when on
his way to New Zealand. It was
written on board ship on th,e, Pacific
ocean
Yesterday, Sunday, September .2nd,
the day broke .with e heavy !rain fal-
ling. It was a refreshing change, as
any change is a relief at sea. Just
outside of my cabin `window were!. a
party of oecona cabin paseengers,
glutted ‘olt. deck. Amoleg them were
some farmers and their families, as
I could learn frem their conversa-
tion. A sailor coming along the
deck, one of the farmers said to -him,
" is pie rain sailor, it ought
to make' things grow." "Yes," re-
plied the sailor, "It'll spoil the
little flying fishes." The party
latighed at the solitude acquaiatance
with farm phrases, and then one of
them aaid to him: :" What is that
whistle blowing for' ?-- That Is the
fog horn," the sailor replied. "Fog
horn the roan exclaimed, "what's
the use of blowing k fog horn out
here when `there is sothing within
two thousand miles of tier We are
nearing the Equator, sir," the sailor
retorted, "and we want to give it a
ehanco to get. out ef the way." At
this one of the women broke in,
what is this 'quator that we hear
the people talking about t" "Re
the line, missus, that the sea goblins
hang their washin' • out on," the
sailor answered as he k passed on- a -
boat his work
But the incident does not give a
correct estimate of the secon&class
passenger list. There were a bright
lot of penple- Among them, and I got
the full benefit of their several and -
peculiar gifts ' and attainments, as
they gathered on the dealt outside my
cabin window every evening.
For example, there was among them
a professimml- medical man, an old
miner, a Christian4Selentist, and a
Denver Prohibitionist, and it was
nip and tuck ainong them as to which
nould talk ,the longest and the loud-
est about his "wares." -The old
miner believed in nothing that would
not square to his manner' of bringing
up and the exegencies a ordinarY
mining life, and he kept them stirred
up with his aggressiVe and versatile
tmbelief. •
In music, too the second-class list
had the adverWage. There were set,
eral fine singers among them, and
while there were one or two high-
class musicians among the first-
class -list, the second-lcass sang to
the soul and Its emotions, rather than
the cultivated taste, and to a sea-
sick, home sick wanderer, the mel-
ody of the one appealed with greater
power than the artistic finish of
the other. They sang songs of the
sea, songs of the woodland and songs
of home. .If you have never been eight
or ten days at sea and heard the
home songs sung, then you can scarce-
ly realize with what power and
pathos they appeal to one. And yet
there is •charm about the sea itself,
if one only has sentiment enoug.h. _in
his soul and .steadinese enough in his
stomach to appreciate it.
An Earthly Paradise.
On the 29th of August, after six
days sailing, we sighted the Sandwich
Islands, and in the afternoon of that
day we ran into the harbor of Hono-
lulu. No painting that you ever saw
could convey a proper conception of
-the natural beauties of Honolulu; nor
can language describe them. The is-
land- on which Honolulu is, situated
Is ninety miles around, yet it Is a
mere sPeck of the great. Pacific
',Ocean. On one of the Islands the vol-
canic peaks rise to a height of 14,000
feet, but about and behind Honolulu
they rise te an altitude of 4,400 and
5,000 feet. These mountains rise to o
that height immediately behind the o
city, and entering the harbor one won -
dens where the city Is, or where there I
Is room for it.
On landing one finds a city of 45,- t
000 people n estling among the rich- e
est and most luxuriant growth of
tropical trees that the mind can im- g
agine. The street e are well laid out H
and paved, and every street is an o
avenue of flowers and foliage of
such variety and richness that the
low burlt houses are almost lost a-
mong them. From the landing to the
foot of the mountains is quite a
distance, perhaps half a mile, and
all the way from the be,se t� the
crown, those mountains are covered
with the richest foliage; nut, fruit
and flower bearing trees. This gives
a back ground to the picture of in-
describable beauty, and strange to
say,on those great heights are roads
winding and leading to the exten-
sive sugar plantations on the pla-
teaus, and extinct volcanic craters
abTohvee.
pu.blic buildings and hotels are
magnificent structures, and the latter
are so constructed that the dining t
and sitting rooms are mostly outside c
surrounded by, lawn and luxuriant a
foliage. These rooms or compart- H
ments are thrown ou,t 'generally in a
front of the mato building in the
form of transepts with light canopy J
roofs to protect them from the sun e
and the rain. Such a thing as heat- h
Ing is never taken into consideration r
in the building of dwellings or pub- w
lic buildings, so the construction t
and arrangement differs widely from
what we are accustomed to in Can- c
ada. But life in Honolulu is only an h
existence of luxuey and ease. They t
breathe a perfumed atmosphere and s
dream or move in an -Eldorado of t
quiet insolatiqn. Life can have no
greater aspiration than the quiet b
enjoyment of a sylvan solitude. s
There is no room for ambition, and
no world or community. of influence_ T
beyond the confines of a email is- c
land. *And yet over the mountaine t
there are numerous sugar plantations •
employing 943 many as two hundred r
enen upon eech, with all the signs H
of progress ;and enterprise that one t
_would notice in South Carolina or t
Louisiana. i
The owners of these plantations b
are the .huginess men' of Honolulu,
and many Of the managers live In h
the city. The raw sugar exported
to the United States is something en- a
ormous. The largest hotel in Hono- o
lulu is aebleck with a frontage as T
long as from the Hicks house to
the Royal, in Mitchell. There are
four stretching between. T four
storey centre space is covered with
a roof gamin half an acre in ex-
tent, and up there the most beauti-
ful collection and variety of plants,
shrubs, flowers and vines are grow-
ing that I ever beheld. It was a
charming moonlight evening that we
were there, and I spent 'nearly an
hour in this wonderful roof ,garden.
One walks upon a sort . of rubber
matting, and mats and tables are
placed eyerywaiere among the foliage
and meals as well as drinks ere serv-
ed up there under the open sky if you
wish to enjoy the novelty and pay
the price.. I could easily spend a
few weeks with delight amid the
tropical beaaties, • and in the scent-
ed atmosphere of this charmino spot
but I would not like to spend my
life there. Canada has its drawbacks
but the more I see ot the distant
Eldorados iauded in Song and story,
the more am persuaded that Can -
