August 30 Friday – At sea on the Warrimoo Sam wrote to H.H. Rogers:

In a couple of hours after dark we shall be in Honolulu — too late to lecture, & I am not sorry. We sail at 11 in the morning — too early to lecture. I got mighty tired platforming before we left America, & shall be glad to remain quiet till we reach Australia [MTP, not in MTHHR].

In the evening the Warrimoo arrived and anchored off Honolulu, some six days late for the planned Aug. 24 lecture at Independence Park [Zmijewski 25].

Livy began a letter to daughter Susy she finished Aug. 31:

We have land in sight and I suppose in three or four house we shall have landed. I do not quite know what we are going to do, whether Papa will read or not, whether we go to a private home or to a hotel, but all in good time we shall know [MTP].
