Had it not been for the thought that by doing this he was saving money to send home , he would have been miserable indeed , but this idea kept him hopeful . He was seasick , too , for a time , and was obliged to keep cleaning vegetables in the galley during the whole period of his suffering . The days when he was ill in this way were the most disagreeable ones of the voyage , and Archie often described afterward his feelings as he sat peeling potatoes with a bucket standing beside him . Each night he slept like a log , and each morning he was obliged to get up at four o'clock and start work again . It was the same thing day after day , tiresome and monotonous , so that Archie was n't sorry when the beautiful island hove in sight , and they anchored in the picturesque bay of Honolulu . Once at Honolulu , Archie 's term of service on board the liner was over , and he was glad , indeed , to get ashore , where he learned that the transport had not yet arrived , but was expected in two or three days ' time . These two or three days Archie determined to spend in sightseeing , and he spent his time to excellent advantage in visiting every quarter of Honolulu and seeing every side of life in the Hawaiian capital .
