Among the groups proposing to re-start Hawaiian cruises was a new firm called Royal Hawaiian Cruises that repeatedly announced plans to start operations with Monterey and hoped to also purchase Mariposa.

Saying I enjoyed this story would be the understatement of the century. The short story is purely brilliant and one
