The city was in a festive mood. The long sought annexation had been won and It was on August 12, 1898, that a landing party from the USS Philadelphia was to come ashore and conduct the formal ceremonies in the palace grounds in which the flag of the four year old Hawaiian republic was to be lowered and the stars and stripes of the United States were to be unfurled as the emblem cf Hawaii. Crowds watched with mingled emotions while the flag of the republic, with its eight stripes of red, white and blue, and its British union Jack in the upper left hand corner, fluttered down and the colorful star-spangled banner took its place on flagstaff's throughout the city. Out on board the Philadelphia, a young American sailor, H. E.

Odell, performed his duties with a heavy heart. He had wanted to take part In the ceremony but orders required that he remain on board until the landing party returned. But, as evening neared, he had his opportunity to go ashore. The last rays of the setting sun silhouetted long, shadows.
