The article discusses naval expeditions. After fifteen days of voyaging over the lonely Pacific Ocean, the rugged cliffs and peaks of the Hawaiian Islands broke the ocean horizon with a serrated welcome. The steamer "Coronet" came to her anchorage in lovely Honolulu harbor late in the evening of May 10, 1896 and the next morning showed calm water all about, many vessels at anchor, ranges of precipitous mountains, and the city lying at their feet, while sunshine almost tropical in its warmth reminded us of our latitude, as the Southern Cross had done the night before.
