In course of time he went to the Pacific, where for fifteen years he was captain of the steamship Australia, owned by J. D. Spreckles and Brother, sons of Claus Spreckles, the sugar importer, which steamer sailed between San Francisco and Honolulu. While in the Australia, the family of King Kalakaua, of Hawaii, took passage with him for San Francisco. In return for his kindly attention shown the Queen and her party, the King knighted him, conferring the title Sir, from which he is known as Sir Henry Houdlette.
