Wilder & Co., who are extensively engaged in the lumber trade, and they are the owners of the steamer “Like-like,” which runs to the other islands; this whart is a very busy one. Next to this lumber dock is one which is owned by the Government, and is used almost entirely by foreign ves- sels. . | Wharves of Messrs. Allen and Robinson an¢ Messrs. Brener & Co. follow next, and then the Fish Market whart. All of these docks have deep water at their sides. The shipsbuilding yards of Messrs. Tibbett and Soven- sen and Mr. Emmes are also here, and they have accom-. modations for vessels of considerable size. Facing the Government wharf, which is termed the “Esplanade Wharf,” are the large Custom House build- ings. These buildings are constructed of solid-looking stone, and with corrugated roofs, rendering them the safest stores in town, and they are recognized as such by all the insurance companies. They occupy a block in - themselves, having open ground on three sides, and a wide street on the fourth. _ When one arrives at the wharf from the steamer, he finds individuals from almost every nationality waiting to greet him, but the Kanaka and the American certainly predominate. Should the steamer come from San Fran- cisco, the Chinese element is most in evidence. The Hawaiian Hotel is the pride of all the whites in ‘Honolulu, and was built by the Government at a cost of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
