SHIPPING LIVELY ALONG WATERFRONT

KINAU DEPARTS FOR HAWAII Masters and Pilots Unfurl Admiral's Flag on the Kinau—Sierra Sails For the Coast—Four Steamers Leave Port Together. Yesterday was one of the busiest days the city’s waterfront has known for a long time. All day long the streets down by the bay were crowded with visitors, business men. longshoremen sailors, and hacks and vendors of leis. The Hawaiian band gave a concert at the Oceanic mail wharf at noon, and the steamer Sierra presented a very pretty and attractive appearance. The local herd of Elks was present in force to bid aloha to T. Clarence Harvey. Promptly at noon the Kinau cast off her lines and sailed for Hilo and way ports with a good passenger list. A very pretty ceremony took place on board the Kinau about 11:30. She was boarded by a number of members of the Masters’ and Pilots’ Assocaition and. gathering around the mainmast, sent the admiral’s pencant, which was presented to George Beckley last Sunday night, flying to the breeze. It attracted a great deal of attention and was greeted with much applause. The Mauna Loa sailed a little after 1 o’clock, being delayed by the enormous freight which was sent on on board. Many people who expected to sail on the Mauna Loa had to postpone their departure for want of accommodation. Mr Linderman went out on her as purser in place of Willie Simerson. who stayed at home on cacount of his wife’s illness. The Claudine sailed for Maui ports, the Mikahaia for Kaui. the Lehua for Maul and the Noeau for Lahaina at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The departure of those steamers, all leaving the harbor together, presented one of the prettiest marine scenes which have ever been seen in Honolulu. The barkentine Amelia sailed for Humboldt, and the schooner Honoipu for Eleele. shortly after 5 o’clock.
