Never a dull moment with Verne...

Paul Callister's account the "South Seas" is 22 typed pages in length. The following is the last excerpt I am going to include on the blog. Most of his writing describes scenery and things he and his wife did on the trip. If any one is interested in reading the entire "South Seas" trip, e-mail me and we will get you a copy as I haven't transcribed it all.

This excerpt comes from their time in Honolulu where they stayed at the famous Moana Hotel.

"Sunday we attended Sunday school. It was one of the most interesting classes I have ever attended. Although the teacher, who was a medical man, didn't agree with everything Verne said, the class ended in a beautiful spirit. There is never a dull moment with Verne. He can get excited and into an argument quicker than any man I ever knew. The manager of the Moana was told off last night and told how to run a hotel but Verne is Verne and will meet all comers in an argument. Yesterday at breakfast he got the waitress so confused she dropped her tips in his bran flakes; boy did that liven things up.
