Faria of giving Alvarez's name to the Board of Health as a character reference without his knowledge or consent. With this the verbal sparring between the medicos comes to an end - at least in the pages of the Advertiser. However, there is an amazing sequel to this affair of the heart, which is recounted in the Advertiser for March 26, 1903, under a New Bedford dateline. The story describes how Mrs. de Faria sent her four children to Portugal and then set out with only $100 to search for her husband. Eventually, she found herself in San Francisco where the trail ended. While working at odd jobs in the hopes that some clue would turn up, Mrs. de Faria happened to pick up a Honolulu newspaper, and, in turning through the pages, came across Dr. de Faria's business card. Her meager savings were just enough to pay her passage to Honolulu. On arrival, her sudden appearance and the tale of her untiring search so moved her husband that the two were reunited. According to the story, the reunion was further helped by the fact that the romance between the doctor and Mrs. Sanders was cooling due to the lady's interest in a young Army officer. In any event, the tale ends with the doctor and his wife departing secretly for Portugal "never to return" and leaving Mrs. Sanders deserted and without funds in Honolulu. Return Whether or not Dr. de Faria went to Portugal in 1903 is not known, but he is listed as president of the articles of association of the Liberdade Publishing Company, Ltd. filed in October, 1903, in Honolulu. Certainly, he had returned to Honolulu and was in practice by 1904 when he became a member of the Hawaiian Territorial Medical Society. During his years in Honolulu he was the originator and chief promoter of A Pátria, a Portuguese society whose objects were financial benefit, social intercourse, and the education of its members. Leaving the Islands in August, 1905, the doctor set out on the first leg of a trip which was to take him to Portugal, France and Germany to study and visit medical institutions. On his return he located in Oakland, California, where he practiced for a number of years. The 1923 Medical Directory lists him as still living in Oakland, but after that he is not listed and nothing further is known about
