THE FOURTH OF JULY
Source: The Polynesian. Honolulu: July 11, 1846, page 31.
The U.S. store ship Erie fired a salute at 12 o’clock, which
was returned by the fort. The day passed off very pleasantly, and order and
quiet prevailed throughout the town. –A degree of enthusiasm was displayed,
diversified by the various tastes which abound in our community. We notice one
turn-out with an ensign hoisted on the carriage, the driver quietly smoking his
cigar, and his compatriot making the town resound with the shrill notes of the
bugle.
