Description of the flag

Wikipedia shows an image, but gives no source. The attached photograph (PP-23-4-004) from the Public Archives of Hawaii differs in two respects: the "Cross of St. Patrick" saltire in the canton is equal in width to the "Cross of St. George" unlike that in Union Jack and the badge in the fly appears to lack the red and blue border. The attached photograph (PP 102-4-003) of H.H.M.S. Kaimiloa at anchor in Honolulu Harbour shows the ensign flying in the wind. Someone with better eyesight and a better magnifying glass than me should be able to determine whether the flag in PP-23-4-004 or the Wikipedia drawing was the actual service ensign in use.
