For people suffering from pulmonary troubles the climate is unrivalled
and there are now several sanitariums where such patients can be
attended to.
San Francisco and Victoria are the two points of deportation for the
Hawaiian Islands. The Oceanic Steamship Line has vessels sailing twice a
month. One steamer sails for Honolulu, stays a few days, and returns to
San Francisco. The other steamers touch at Honolulu and go on to the
Australian colonies. Round trip tickets can be obtained and also lay
over tickets, at the Company's offices on Montgomery street, San
Francisco. The Pacific Mail and O. & O. S. S. lines, running from China
and Japan to San Francisco, also touch at Honolulu regularly.
Arrangements can be made to lay over in Honolulu, visit the Volcano and
proceed on the voyage by the next vessel.
From Victoria the C. & A. S. S. sail once a month. They give the tourist
a chance of seeing the Canadian Pacific Railroad before coming here, but
a round trip ticket would have to be for a full month. By the O. S. S.
lines less time need be spent on the Islands.
The cost of round trip passage is $125.
The cost of trip to the Volcano, including all expenses is $50.
Hotel expenses in Honolulu from $2 a day, according to accommodation.
Particulars on these subjects can always be learned by writing to Wilder
S. S. Co., Fort street, Honolulu; or the Inter-Island Steamship Co.,
Queen street, Honolulu.
