THE CORAL CRESCENT OF WAIKIKI AT CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S

By E d w in N o r t h M cC l i u .an

Historian, Editor, Lawyer, Traveller, Columnist, Radio Commentator

and former member of OCC

T he Coral Crescent ol W a ik ik i—the Great Creator’s Christmas hookupu to the

world. T h a r is only one W a ik ik i . T he serene and beautifu l Heath at W a ik ik i ,

smiled on by the most hospitable Nature in the Universe, invites all peoples

everv m inu te of the year to enjoy its magnificence, its grace, (h a rm and hospitality.

Every day is a perfect day at W a ik ik i b u t Christinas and New Year’s are special

days of great joy when W a ik ik i carols that Christian Christinas Welcome — it is

more blessed to give than receive. T he

Coral Crescent of W a ik ik i gives a b u n

dantly and expects no th ing in return

but the grand happiness of your presence.

NATURE AT WAIKIKI SAYS MELE KALIKIMAKA AND HAUOLI MAKAHIKI HOU

Mother Nature invigorates the body

and satisfies the soul at W a ik ik i : blue

waters of the Great Ocean, s ing ing over

the protecting Coral Reef in white lacy

rulfles, roll indo lently with happy m u r

m ur ing on the beach, so safe lor young

and old: velvety coral sand clings affec

tionately lo your brown skin; not lar-

clistant the verdant Koolaus smile reas

suringly on you at W a ik ik i ; and depend

able D iam ond Head, like a crouching

lion, is a sentinel over all.

Christmas and New Year’s at W a ik ik i

are marvelous. Beauty of H aw a iian N a

ture thrills all who are lucky enough to

be 01 1 the Coral Crescent dur ing the H o l i day Season, far from ice, sleet, snow and

storm. Nature (ills the sky, beac h, air and

sea—and valleys and moun ta ins beyond—

with all that is perfect. Soothing, llower-

perfumed trade-bree/es sift through palm

fronds and whisper a Special Blessed

A loha. Lovely birds trill their greeting

from rendezvous in broad shade trees,

lleecy clouds spell aloha ou t in the azure

sky, and the laugh ing Pacific waters roar

the W a ik ik i Welcome of jieace and good

will to all peoples.

Every drop of water, every grain of

sand, every gentle puff of the trade-

brcezes, every ray of sunshine, all the

white ( loud-islands anchored motionless

in the blue sky, and the neighboring

mountains , join in the chorus of Merry

Christmas, H appy New Year and Aloha

from W aik ik i .

WAIKIKI BEACH, SAFEST SPOT IN WORLDW a ik ik i Beach is the safest spot in the

world from the wrath of Nature which

only purrs at the Coral Crescent. No ty

phoons, hurricanes, cyclones, twisters or

bli//ards, on the Dream Beach, and tidal

waves are spectacles to enjoy rather than

lo fear. O ther parts of Hawa ii may have

destructive tidal waxes but not W aik ik i .

WAIKIKI CHRISTMAS OF 1953'File Beach at W a ik ik i is thronged on

Christmas Day of 19')3. Teresa Ober l in ,

sun tanned Itamunnui goddess and Queen

of the O C C , lies face to the sun on the

Outr igger Beach.

" The Spirit and Soul ol W a ik ik i she

is!” m urm ured handsome Patrick A m

herst, K ing of the O C C , to himself as

he walked from the H u n Tree I.(nun

toward the fem in ine Sun Worshiper.

"M erry Christmas and Happy New

Year, Teresa!” wished Pat as lie dropped

alongside the lovely maid. Look ing up

at the bron/ed haole, the girl replied:

"Same to vou and many more ol them .”

Teresa threw back her hair which

gleamed like gold in the Christmas sun

l ight ol W a ik ik i . Her great grandmother

wou ld have been shocked to see Teresa

so exposed in that B ik in i ba th ing suit,

but this was 19,">.'i, not the Days of the

H aw a iian Monarchy.

THE WAIKIKI CHRISTMAS FISHING FLEET" I see that the W a ik ik i Christmas Fish

ing Fleet is out in full strength this H o l i

day Season,” said Pat. " Indeed it is,” re

plied Teresa. "F ish ing for husbands is

the great ou tdoor and indoor sport ol

Pat, you can even hear the Great Ocean

board ing this m orn ing?”

Acs, later, bu t the tempta tion to be

with you was greater than the Great

Surf,” replied Pat.

KING AND QUEEN OF SPORTS AT WAIKIKI“W h a t a wonderfu l place W a ik ik i

Beach is for aquatic sports,” remarked

Teresa. "N a tu re created a surf unequaled

for this purpose. The last item to he purchased in order to be operating on a lull time basis is a 35 mm motion pic- ture camera.PHOTOGRAPHY

E\]>ei imenting with parl-time photographers such as Wally Young, Dan Wallace, and Bud Browne of Los Angeles, all of whom own their own l(i 111111 underwater cameras, has brought out interesting contrasts in solving the many complexities involved. Also, George Vanderbilt was very kind in permitting me to use his underwater camera and 1 am now convinced of a long time dream proving feasible. Although the integrity of using .'if> 111111 equipment may be questioned for practical purposes, I choose to have access to both the big screen and the TV market as I feel assured of wasting very little film.

Ownership of such equipment and whomever my full-time partner shall be, 1 stand conv icted that we are capable of accomplishing that which has yet to be filmed. In other words, the best underwater movies have yet to be shown to the general public. This must certainly sound like too much enthusiasm so perhaps I should portray a general idea by just relating one day’s experience. diving

"Scotty” McWayne and 1 were fortunate to pick a beautiful day permitting us to go diving in waters that are normally too rough for this sport. Such an area would assure us of finding fish in abundance. We were underwater and following a cliff-like formation that runs some live or six miles long. The top of this cliff is about 30 feet underwater and it drops off abruptly to a depth ranging from 70 to 80 feet. While touring along the top of this cliff we suddenly lound ourselves looking down 011 a school of large l Tlua (Jack Cravalle or Pompano) . Apparently there was a cave ia .tunnel at the bottom of this cliff for the fish could clearly be seen swimming into the sunlight, turning slowly around and then returning to the shadows where they would disappear from sight. It was a strange and exciting sensation to be able to lie on our stomachs 011 top ol this dill and peer over this wall as though we were atop a two-story building while watching this group completely unconcerned or unaware of our presence.

[

Several times we observed this repeated performance and left our positions to swim downward just as the last of the fish disappeared into a large cave. Sure enough, just like clock-work, by the time we reached the bottom and swam toward the shadows, these fish were again on their way out toward the sunlight. 1 met the leader face to face and flung my spear into his head. You have never seen such commotion that followed. This game fish, estimated to weigh 70 lbs., was wounded severely and lunged aimlessly in every direction, crashing into rocks, the ocean bottom, and rushing head-011 into the cliff wall. Meantime, the rest of the fish were bolting out all around us while the sediment and particles of dust that lie on the ocean bottom were stirred up to create a vast cloud engulfing us in poor visibility. The wounded fish accidentally found its way into the cave and now we were forced to wait for the water to clear up before entering the shadows as so much blood in the water would be sure to attract eels and it would be foolhardy to enter with poor visibility.SHARKS

During this short interim, sharks began to appear. They, too, could not see into the cave but could definitely smell a source of blood in the nearby area. Moments later, we were able to count five sharks circling us in seemingly slow movements but with that air of confidence. I felt well enough acquainted with their nature and habits and knew them not to be in a feeding frenzy as yet. So f swam out into the open and lav down between two large boulders trying to hide myself as best I could while waiting to see what would happen. Immediately the curiosity of one shark brought him slithering directly over my head and as he swam by I could have easily reached up and tickled his stomach. I kept thinking to myself how exciting that would appear 011 the screen.

Then I picked up one of my spears and a second shark approached my direction oblivious of my presence. I sent the shaft into his gills and he darted forward with a quick shake and then, as he vigorously lashed his head from side to side, you could see his teeth gnashing at something he could not bite. Through these exerted efforts he swam straight up and

over tlie cliff and was beaut ifu l ly s i lhou

etted against the surface l igh t as this

struggling beast disappeared. W h a t a

p id u r e that wou ld have made! There

were more sharks in the area than our

supply of spears so it wou ld be futile

to try and salvage the wounded fish. As

we worked our way u p the cliff we n o

ticed that not one shark followed us for

they seemed to know what they were

going to do beforehand.

OTHER FISHAs you visualize this b it of action, you

must remember it is still only one phase

of the many exciting moments encoun

tered while div ing. W e will have com

plete stories to do on sharks, eels, turtles,

multi-colored fish, whales, b ig game fish,

and even seaweed lor medic ina l p u r

poses. If anyone thinks we are l im ited

to a certain field and excitement listen

to this.

Between the island of Mo loka i and

O a h u lies an underwater shelf eleven

miles long. This is known as the Penguin

Hanks and the top of this shelf is 180

feel deep while parts ol it drop of!

abruptly to (i()() feet deep. Just imagine

the N u u a n u Pali underwater and you

will have a good idea of this underwater

formation , not to men tion the tunnels

or caverns we may come across.

l he Penguin Hanks are known as one

ol the most fertile fishing grounds in the

world and it is more than likely we shall

encounter swordfish, thousands of fish

in all varieties and who knows what else?

W e shall be unab le to shoot these pic

tures in color as such a depth absorbs

the required light and everything a p

pears in dark blue color. However, we

shall certainly show these dives in black

and white film as it is just like a cloudy

clay in 200 feet of water.

Vernon Brock, head of the Division

of Fish and Game, and his underwater

crew were in Kona when I had the good

fortune ol accompanying them and I de

scended to a depth that equals the Pen

gu in Banks so this proposed venture is

a near reality. T he only delay in explor

ing this area is lack of proper eq u ip

ment such as a fathometer for we would

waste too m uch air and precious time in searching for this d i d by sounding, etc.

Perhaps this will give a small idea

and account for the enthusiasm to achieve

a goal requ ir ing m uch more work and

preparation to accomplish, but the peace

of m in d to know that one ’s work can be

compared to the world ’s best is an inner

satisfaction immeasurable.

CRUISE OF CROCKETTSMelbourne, Australia I I November, 1953

Dear Krnie:

Yesterday at I lie Yarra Club I looked over the October issue of OCC Forecast. In il you asked for a letter from us, so I will respond, and here is a brief resume of our trip,

Tokyo was interesting and one can definitely sec the impact ol the American occupation. W ith almost everyone wearing Western dress it is not as colorful as when the kimono and obi was worn almost exclusively. We did not get to see very much of the countryside, but did get up lo Nikko and a few other places. In Tokyo they have a new air-conditioned hotel but I think a person would miss a lot if they did not Slav at the famous Imperial Hotel. Our stay there was most enjoyable.

Then on lo Manila, which left much to be desired. Personally I think the granting of in dependence to the Philippines was somewhat premalure. Maybe will) I heir new president it will be heller politically.

Hong Kong was a shopper's paradise and as a British Colony clean and nol even Hies—or mosquitoes. Macao, 40 miles away by sieamer, is an "exotic" colony of Portuguese; at the Barrier Calc flies the Hag of Portugal and 100 yards away lhe red flag of Communistic China. Every so often they will pop away at each other, probably just to relieve the boredom of guard duly, anyway we did not linger.

At Hong Kong we left the R ip pees who were with us up to this point and they weni on wilh their round the world trip.

Next was Bangkok in Siam (Thailand). Now there is a place that is really “exotic.” And here I may lei I you that wc do nol use lhe word exotic wilh Western meaning. So many limes we have read travel folders describing exotic lands and ihen when we arrived there it was a let down, so now when I describe a place as exotic, it means a place where your shin is sapping wet all the time, where it s too hot to sleep at night, where lhe waier has lo be boiled before drinking and we hope it has been, where the leafy vegetables cannot be ealen, where the stench is horrible, and where there is a superabundance of Hies and mosquitoes. I hal is really “exotic."

From Bangkok lo Singapore we rode the British Jet Comet and what a plane that is. 11 has a lop speed of 490 miles per hour. We, however, loafed along al 43-i MPH and at 30.000 feel altitude and made the trip in half the time as on a Constellation, which is nol a slow plane. On the Jel there is really no sensation of great speed, but the ride is smoother and more cpiiet than on a conventional plane.

De Haviland is making a Jet now that can carry more fuel, if we had thai on the California* Hawaii run il would mean ■» to ”> i/2 hours Honolulu to San Francisco. Some dav we will have that I am sure.

I). Jakarta in Java is jusl another "exotic “ place: we did not tarry there.

A im in g in Sydney we fell we were at home again. Svdnev reminds us of San Francisco and the suburbs. north Svdnev in particular, is like New 1*'no land.

1 he TailersaH's C lub is nice, large and has much to oiler. Mr. Dawson, the Secretary, was most cordial. I will not go into detail about (he d ub as it was written up not so long ago in the ion-cast.

Australian people, to us. are the most hospitable* in the world. If I had looked up all the people Ted suggested it would take us (> months to get away from here.

We did look up Frank Albert who was recently in Honolulu and who has been visiting Honolulu for main vcars. He has a fabulous home in S\ilne\ on Fli/abeth Hay. with bis beautiful vadit at anchor right in front of his home. Me is a \er\ (harming host.

After 10 da vs in Sydney we are now in Melbourne. Dillerenl from Sydney but a beautiful cit\ with wide streets.

Dave Hughes took me out to the South Yarra Club whiih is an excellent dub. Strictly a men's d ub and women are onlv permitted on "women's day" about once a month for cocktails.

They have lounges, bar. dining room, large billiard room, card rooms and -I squash courts. They are Australian squash champions which is a very fast game played on a court similar to a handball court.

Here are men and women on a wave at Waikiki, exciting and thrilling ,Pic by “Scoo//’ Tsuzuki

S U R F I N G AT W A I K I K Iliy Sam Poepoe

(Editor’s note: We have been requested to reprint this article which was published itt the "Forecast" two years ago.)

I shall not attempt to tell you how the waves are formed for surfing: that is for the Oceanographer, but 1 will endeavor to clarity points on how to surf—that is riding the surfboard—as practiced by the surfers of the Outrigger Canoe Club.

To understand this sport one must understand the theory to have greater appreciation and tolerance. Here, under your surfboard, is a tremendous catapulting natural force — called ‘‘centrifugal force” — varying in power from a placid ocean surface to towering 30-foot waves off Castle’s, to Halekulani onto the harbor entrance and as far north as Waimea Bay and back to Canoe Surf. I was caught by one of these waves when Duke returned in 1931 and the waves were at there best off Halekulani hotel during the Christmas holidays. This wave broke on me, knocked me windless and churned me in a giant vortex then ignominiously thumped me down hard on what seemed and endless trip to a bottomless ocean. However, I did enjoy a long ride from Halekufani through Popular to first break and land on the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

SURFING DEFINED

This catapulting force 1 shall call the “impelling force” with its maximum output of power at the crest a split second before it curls to break into foam.

The gross weight of both surfer and board plus the pull of gravity I shall call the “repelling force.”

From the counter action of both—one lifting to throw the surfer and the other repelling — through deft movements on his board so he will not be thrown—you get propulsion, a naturalee.

Before you acquire this propulsion let us consider the surfboard. Let’s take one eleven feet long (132 inches), with 20 inches at its greatest beam. Let us assume further that the rider catches a moderate 8 foot in height wave. The greatest lifting area would be the tangent formed by the wave at the 20 inch width, assuming again he continues to ride perpendicular to the wave’s front.

Now, on an identical wave, he tacks or slides his board say, to the left. This time the lifting area is increased from 20 inches to 132 inches at the tangent, and brother, when he does that he should be traveling provided he does not override.

The last theory now presents itself and it is the lines of forces. Draw in imaginary

[2 0 ]

l ine th rough the wave’s crest you ’ll ride.

I liis l ine represents the m a x im u m |x>wer

o u tp u t for Y O l ' R wave. Y o u ’re a m

bit ious and want to match this by a

s im ilar board l ine—a center power line

th rough your surfboard. Y o u ’ve always

had it! Bu t the question now is how to

match j x i w c t for power. As 1 see it, and

very crudely too, a paralle l l ine of such

power forces will be the solution. But

how? 1 th ink rather simplv too. The

wave's jxnver product ion is constant.

Therefore, be ing imperfectly hum an ,

you ’re the variable fac tor. Being adven

turously cocky you want to still match the

wave’s constant. A n d here’s how i t ’s clone.

AND NOW HOW!Y o u ’ve required the necessary strength

and stamina an d fort itude for this relax

ing game: furthermore, you ’ve learned

the land marks well for projection to you

at Canoe Surf for fast, competit ive com

pany.

Okav! Here conies a beautifu l wave. A

hasty survey tells you she will not break

anvwhere a long its front. This is where

fortitude has her inn ing . Sit tight. So

t ight von do not move a muscle un ti l

y o u hear it crackle w ithout breaking. If

she's extraordinari ly sleep swing the

]M)int of the board in the direc tion you ’re

sliding. O n the other hand if she’s o rd i

narily curvaceous drive your calves and

surfiing luau feet hard: at the same m o

ment swing and plow your arms and

hands in deep cadence with the ascend

ing wave. D O all this O N C E O N L A !

C h in the board to prevent the up-draft

ing trade w ind Irom l if t ing you oil this

wave. A n d can it do it!! Keep relaxed

and like jello served from a com m un ity

dish.

The trick to match power for power

follows, and there are two methods. One

is to drag the lelt loot over the side: i t ’s

good when company doesn’t crowd and

y o u have the entire ocean to yoursell.

TH1' S E C O N D M E T H O D is used in

last company and is also more exhilarat

ing. Execute a counter-clockwise weight

sh ift ing half roll with the weight action

starting at the ou tboard po int ol your lelt

shoulder, as in fooball blocking. Start it

and the rest of you will loi low through.

Place vour wet hands, lingers wrung and

spread widely, on the board where your

shoulders were, and sufficiently apart for

your knees to swing through. T he pu r

pose of the finger spread is for greater

security surface area so you w on ’t bash

your lace on the slippery board you for

got to wax. Moreover, it m inimizes

smashed lingers when fast r id ing com

pany crowds, as it will.

HEAD DOWN, EYES UP!

Now G E T I 'P ! ! But w ith your head

held clown, eyes up. W hy the down head?

Head down prevents you from retarding

the hoard ’s forward progress. T he instant

you throw your head erect the spine com

presses, shift ing the fu ll weight to the

feet and immediate ly slowing down the

hoard ’s speed. 1 know you doub t it so try

it anytime, especially am ong fast riders.

T he body follows always where the head

leads, a cardinal athletic rule.

Plant the lelt foot firmly and as closely

to the lelt edge as you dare, comlortablv,

and ahead of the right foot: D IG IN with

your fu l l weight on the lore foot w ithout

unbalanceinent. I bis ac tion should drive

the bow in to the wave, and if it doesn’t

kick sharply the after part with the h ind

foot: it ’ll work!

Attention: M r. Fed Magill

Dear Sirs:

As you probably know, our Waikiki Club of Lima, Peru, has been organizing national surfboard competitions during the past three years, wilh great enthusiasm of our members and sporting people in general.

File coming year 1954, since our club has been rebuilt and facilities will be greatly improved, lhe Club Committee of which I am President, is organizing an International Championship,

[26]

for which we would like to ha\e some reprcsenta ti\es ol \our Club to participate in I lie events, llie lea in should he formed hv iliree men mem- lid's and a woman, in order to be able to have a leam of your own in the Relay Rate” (three men per leam). Besides this event we will ha\e one race started from ihe beach and coming back to ii. which we call "U000 mis. race"; third, a competition that starts 1000 mis." awav from llie shore and arri\al to the beach. I'ourth, a "tandem race" ia man and a woman’) which lias about .*>00 mis. distance, and an "exhibition race."

The international competition should lake place sometime during February HOI. I he exact da\ has not been lixed vet. the duration would be about a week or ten da\s. for which we could pio\ide room and board for Your delegation, if \ou wish so. as well as a program of festivities. \Ve are also inviting a team from San Onofre Surluig ( lub from San Clemente. C alifornia, so if both clubs accept our im itation we shall ha\e an International Competition in which the represen tat i\es of Hawaii. California and Peru will meet.

W e understand that this competition would be the Iiim one of its kind for which we all should cooperate in order to be successful and lo have them e\er\ \ear. max be in diHerein countries.

Awaiting for vour early news. I remain

THE GOLDEN CLOAKW o u ld von like to know more abou i

the pathetic H aw a iian lad, Obook iah ,

who sought adventure by sh ipp ing as a

sailor on an American sailing ship and

died in to ld Connecticut?

T hen read "T h e Go lden C loak ,” a

d istinguished new volume ol Hawaiiana .

In it, Mrs. W ith in g to n has gathered

little-known material about this gentle

lad and has woven it in to the well-known

storv ol how he inlluenced New Kngland

missionaries to tome to Hawaii.

She tells in tic-tail how he tried to

smooth the path ol the missionaries by

translating portions ol the scripture into

H aw a iian and compiled a H aw a iian dic-

l lonai \ in the dav w hen Hawaii had no

written language.T he Spaniard, Don Francesco de Paula

\ M arin , is another interesting person

about whom Mrs. W ith ing to n tells a

lu l l storv. It is the first time all the

details have been gathered together in

one book. Don M ar in tame to Hawaii

in I7‘».S and lived through the reigns ol

k am eham eha I and II. H e is the man

who brought so many plants and trees

[

to Hawa ii and t’xjjeriniented in m ak ing

nails, tiles, soap, sugar, castor oil, can

dles, cigars, wine, brandy and beer.

In " I he G o lden C loak ,” y o u will read

lor the first time the diary ol Prince Alex

ander L ih o l i lm written du r ing his trip

lo Kurope with his brother. Prince Lot

kam eham eha , and Dr. Gerrit P. |udd.

This de ligh tfu l chapter tells just what

sort ol a time the Princes had in Paris

and l.onclon.

Once you have lead "T h e Golden

C loak ," you will want to keep a copy

ol the book on vour library shell as a

reference work, lor you will find many

other fascinating glimpses into the lives

of each of the sovereigns of the k in gd om

of I Iawaii.

"T h e ( .o lden C loak” is history—not

the du l l stull written in to textbooks--

but the bl ight anecdotal type whic h turns

the personages of history into in timate

friends.

Mrs. W i i h in g t o n ’s work is valuable be

cause she has collected widely scattered

hits of in lo rm at ion lor each chapter ol

"T h e Go lden C loak .” Students will now

he able lo (md that material in one place

and will not have lo run down separate

ilenis in newspapers, journals and be>e>ks.

T H E H A W A I I A N C O A T O F A R M S

By \ oi.M'.v A. K. H o w a rd

1 lie crest and shield in the coal ol arms ol the Outr igger Canoe C■ 11 11> are an

adap ta t ion ol the crest and shield ol the o ld H aw a i ia n coat of arms, and the history

ol the H aw a i ia n coat ol anils is a very interesting one.

1 he H aw a iia n coat of arms has had a un ique ly checkered career. As an assembled

coat ol arms, it is abou t one hundred and ten years old. In lineage, the origins

ol m any ol its parts go back in to the d

parts are recognizably fam il ia r to us.

Certa in ly , what we fam il ia r ly call “ the

H aw a i ia n coat of arms” is well know n

to all ol us. Everybody knows what it is.

It is our most popu la r emb lem in H awa ii .

W e see it on everything everywhere. It

is on the badge of the h igh sheriff of the

Territory in fu ll color, and its shield is

on the badge of the H o n o lu lu Police De

partment in full color. W e pu t it on

stationery, jewelry, everything. It is a

beautifu l til ing. Actually, it is not the

coat of arms ol the Territory of H awa ii

at all. Perhaps it should be, bu t it is not.

It is the coat of arms of the k ingdom of

H aw a ii in the romantic and g lamorous

clays of K ing Kalakaua. If we were

asked what the coat of arms of the T err i

tory ol Hawa ii is, most of us honestly

w ou ldn 't know. But more about that

later. It's qu ite a story.

In the H aw a i ian coat of arms of K ing

Kalakaua, the two stately H awa iian

c hiefs, s tanding on a p la tform supporting

the shield, are the famous royal twins,

fa t ing the shield from each side. They

were h igh chiefs and close advisers ol

K ing Kamehameha 1. They are wearing

ceremonial leather helmets and ankle

length, leather c loaks.

Kamanawa holds a spear in his right

hand as a symbol of protection, and Ka-

nieeiainoku holds a kah ili in his left as

a symbol ol stale. T he shield they guard

lias four quarters, with a litt le shield

superimposed on it in the center. Almost

no one knows what the things are, in that

l ittle shield. T he tr iangular object is the

ancient llag of the chiefs, called the

Puela, which was flown above the sails

of the great sailing canoes. Across the

standard of the llag are crossed two short

spears. The first and fourth quarters ol

the big shield have red, silver or white,

and blue s t r ip s ru nn in g ac ross lhe q ua r

ters hori/onta llv . Actually, Irom lop to

ii mists of an tiqu ity . Yet most of those

bottom , the stripes occur in the order of

silver or white, red, and blue; and, if you

count them, you will find there are eight

in each of the two quarters. T he second

and th ird quarters have a solid, golden

yellow background or field.

It is im portan t , for an understanding

of things that come later in the history

of this coat of arms, to note that this

golden yellow color is denoted in heral-

dric language by the word or, whic h

means gold or yellow. In the center of

each of these yellow fields is. vertically

upright, a white ball on a black stand

ard. Each of these is a kapu stick called

a pu lou lou . They were a wooden ball,

covered w ilh while tapa, on a stick. How

the clot got in the center of each ball

nobody seems to know with certainty,

bu t one exp lanat ion offered is that the

clot may be a jewel inserted in K ing Ka-

lakaua ’s time, when the coat of arms be

came more ornate and more European

i/ed than it previously had been. The

erm ine robe in the background is an in

novation of K ing Kalakaua's time, as are

also the big crown on top of the robe

and the medal of decoration suspended

below the shield. I lie latter is a medal of

the Royal Order of K ing Kalakaua. The

crown directly above the shield is espe

cially interesting because it is distinc

tively a H awa iian crown. There are eight

taro leaf [joints on the top ol the head

band, one lor each of the eight principal

islands. T he m otto " U A M A C KE EA

O KA A IN A I K A P O N O ” means “T H E

L IF E O K T H E L A N D IS P E R P E T U

A T E D IN R IG H T E O U S N E S S .”

It is still the motto of Hawaii and

comes from a speech made by K ing Ka

mehameha I I I in 18-13, when he was com

pelled to surrender the sovereignty ol

H awaii lo the tyrannical Lord George

Patilcl, before Paulet was relieved by the

[ 3 1 ]

adm irab le Adm ira l Thomas, who re

stored sovereignty to Hawaii.

D u r in g those n i t ic a l times, at the

order ol K ing Kamehameha I I I , the lirsl

H awa iian coal ol arms was originated,

about the year 181.1. T he orig inal de

sign is credited to the famous H igh Chief

l laa l i l io , who died at sea in 1811.

The May .SI, 18-1"), issue of the l ’oly- ni'sidii, which published official in fo rm ation of the H aw a iian government, states:

"A

these emblems and ornaments was taken from the original articles presented to Captain Cook by Kalaiopiui, in 1778. The design was original, by the lamented Haalilio.

"The motto is 'Ua mail ke ea o ka aina i ka pono.’ The life of the land is perpetuated by righteousness. It refers to the speech of the King at the time of cession, Feb. 25th, 18-13.”

There were several executions of this coat ol arms. Perhaps the best was one done by a Swiss artist named Paid Fm- mert, who was in Hawaii from 1853 to 185(). It is interesting to note that in this version, the word usually seen ;:s />•(■ in tlie motto is ka. This painting may be seen at the Bishop Museum on loan from Mr. V. S. K. Houston, former Delegate to Congress from Hawaii. It was obtained Irom the Robert C. Wvllie collection. I his coat of arms remained essentially the same until the reign of King Kalakaua, which was from 187-1 to 1891. During his time, changes were made, principally those already noted, and the Hawaiian coat of arms became that which we customarily know it now.

Since the time of monarchy, various changes have occurred, often drastic, in the ollicial coat of arms of Hawaii. One design of jjostage stamps of the Republic of Hawaii had a modified version in which the twins, considerably changed, stood looking away from a considerably modi Tied shield in which the first and fourth fields had only five horizontal stripes of unecpial heights, and in which the puloiilou in the second and third fields was exchanged for eight stars in each field.

Again, when Hawaii was preparing to

become a Territory, a contest was held and a choice was made from 27 designs submitted by contestants lor a Territorial coat of arms. It is said that the legislature sponsored this contest and that neither the winning contestant nor the Legislature knew much about heraldry nor coats ol arms. No crown adorns the shield, but six rays of light break I i o m the lop. A star replaces the triangular Hag of the chiefs, and the royal twins have been replaced by Kamehameha I holding a spear in his leit hand and by the Goddess of Liberty holding a Hawaiian flag in her right. Both figures

[ 3 3 ]

face away from the shield. Whoever was at lault, the word or, meaning gold or yellow and formerly used to describe the fields of the second and third quarters of the shield, was not included in the description ol the coat of arms which the Legislature enacted into law. As a consequence of this omission, it is said that these fields of the shield lost their traditional golden yellow color. However, the ollicial seal of the Territory is impressed on gold foil at Iolani Palace, and the colors omitted from these fields are thus gold anyway.

Perhaps the most j>eciiliar thing of all the peculiar things that have happenedlo the Hawaiian coat of arms is that the people of Hawaii seem to pay little or no attention to the official changes that have been made in it, and they go right on happily using the Hawaiian coat of arms of "the u'ood old davs.”

Words cannot express my appreciation for your kindness to me on the trip to Pearl Harbor. Every courtesy was extended lo me, a?id I met some of the finest men I have ever known.

The discipline that is maintained in the Navy, and at the same time the happiness and harmony that is expressed by all of the personnel, is certainly a great credit to the Service aiid to the American people. You may rest assured I have nothing but the best to say for Navy per- sonnel and its operations.

May I again express my thanks for your part i)i this most extraordinary trip and for the honor a fid pleasure of meeting you.

Sincerely yours,LO N D. BARTON

W e’ve entertained many groups such as yours. All agree on the fine trips they’ve had.

Dear Mr. "Ted” Magill:Once again I veiy much like you to remember

that this is the same boy who wrote to you asking for a pen pal iti Hawaii, and of course you passed my address to your Beach boys, as you told me. As a matter of fact none of them wrote to me up till today. What shall I do now, I need a friend i)i there? Well in that case, I think it won't be a bad idea if I correspond with you, and I should tell you why, you see I am a registrant of the Asia Triangle Pacific Quota in Nuntea, New Caledonia and soon as possible I'd like to become the citizen of U.S.A.

Now, as a point of the fact all of my documents have bee)} found of satisfactory to the American Consulate. A ll except one, that is that I have got only about 400 dollars wherelse the Consulate want 800 dollars, and a work of certain kind must await for me.

So as soon a I fix up this. I'll be given the citizen of U.S.A. and then / can come and stay in Hawaii.

Before I close I must tell you this. Sir, that I have been to Honolulu already on 7 5/// of Oct., 195) by S.S. Lakemba, but surely failed to meet you. But this time when I ’ll return from Vancouver for Fiji, N.Z., and Australia I ’ll call in to you for definite. / / the chance given I ’ll let you know the day and date and I hope certain kind of help will come.

Hoping you are well, I remainTruly yours.

W e’ll be glad lo meet you, Pande and hope you’ll succeed in getting a Pen Pal, your citizen ship and entry.

Dear Mr. Taylor:This is a somewhat lardy but nonetheless en

thusiastic thank you for the Outrigger guest card you so kindly arranged for me as one of the guests of the Navy at Pearl Harbor early this month. The facilities of your delightful Club were a most welcome respite from the official program at Pearl and I used them at every opportunity.

No visit to the Islands can be complete without some time at the Outrigger. Thank you most sincerely.

Your very truly,R. A. CARR President

And this is a tardy acknowledgment. W c call

Bellevue Rd ., Double Bay, N.S.W., Australia Dear Mr. Magill:

It is all otter, I am well and truly back, even if not completely in circulation I am nevertheless trying my hardest to recirculate myself and guess it is but a matter of time.

I must offer my belated farewells to all those in and around the Club who were on my list as due for a big goodbye from me but due to the overwhelming hospitality of some of the more frivolous members with whom I spent from noon till plane time. I have little and in parts no recollection of whom I shook hands with or which of the girls I kissed. I do recall kissing many, or perhaps it was only a few, many times, ft seems to me that I nearly missed the plane due to some Scotch associates, perhaps as time goes on as it always does, things will become a little less foged. The one thing I remember well atid will never forget was the friendship and the friends I made whilst amongst you. These memories will burn bright and be the driving force which will some day bring me back to my spiritual home and my place beneath the Hau tree.

I was able to pass on a little at least of the spirit of the Islands to the crowd aboard my plane. Just out of Sydney I gathered unto me all my leis and to each of the women passengers aboard plus the two pretty hostesses gaxte them a true Haicaiian welcome (to Sydney) with an Australian accent. Which by the way resulted in an official speech of thanks over the P.A. system.

Very many thanks to the Committee, the members and to you, Sir, for extending to me the many kindnesses which made me feel that Waikiki is my home.

Yours very cordially,

JAMES K. WALKER

Giving leis is an excuse for kissing. We all like it. M ight be a good custom Down Under.

Dear Ted:Thanks a lot for the reminder of a wonderful

Club which I first set eyes uj>on in 1920, and which has graciously extended me its courtesies on many, many occasions since. P.S.: Reg Col litis brought in your signature on the Club Menu Card last week, and was loud in his praises of your hospitable members.

I.ast flight along with my good Lady and two members of my Comfmnx's boards (with their ii'iites) took the Bob Crocketts to a night club and had fun. They move northwards today from Melbourne and should be home in mid- December.

I'hey were out at my home for lunch earlier but I couldn't get them into my pool even though it it'as a nice fine day! Your Hawaiian folk like your water very warm, but not for drinks.

Regards to "Dad," Duke, (ieorge, day. Mack and the whole lot.

Same for you, Ted.Yours sincerely,
