CHAPTER XX.
Saakila to the wheel.
Captain Budlong and the sheriff held
a conference with fianksla. The girl
had much to tell them that wan of in.
torest to their roineioo.
8he had heard all of the plana of the
Boutliaidert and had wached for the
approach of the boat that she might
intercept it and inform the officers of
the treachery of the pilot and the pur
poses oi the law breaking gillnettera.
8be had hoard them, long before
midnight, agree to pontoone the attack
upon the Southsiders until daylight on
account of the delay of some of their
reinforcements and had also heard
them state that Gabe Jarvl, the pilot on
the boat to Bring the soldiers, would
keep away from then uatii they had
finished with the northsidi fluliermauv
It had bean agreed by Gabe that he
would run about the river until day
light, pretending to be hunting for the
fishermen, when la. fact ba would be
studiously avoiding them. In the
ran knees of hit treachery lie had prom
ised to take the boat aa near the bar as
ba dared to approach where the sea
waa rough and would a pact- the atom
acha of the citizen toldiera.
Bankala had escaped from the old
aback while the men were out on the
beach arranging for the attack and had
wactltad tot the coning at the beat.: Mas
kne teat It would go Uia aouth aido
of the island In order to avoid an en
counter with the fishermen alio were
lined up on tba narthalda, end when ahe
aaw the light of the vessel far up the
river the launched a boat which was
aome distance front tha plotting fisher
men and struck out to intercept the big
craft that ahe might iniurm the officers.
She had been successful, aa the reader
knows, but a dilemma bow confronted
the officers that was difficult to solve.
Neither oi tha oiliuers knew anything
about the river and none of tlie men had
the slightest idea about navigation.
Bankala told them that tlie boat was
heading straight for the ocean and that
they had passed, all of tha fishermen,
who were lined up at the head of the
island for the early uioraing attack.
"This fellow Jarvl ia a very mean
man," said Bankala, "He ia now
under bond for the murder ol his aged
father and U said ta ba tits moat brutal
of the ignorant Flnlanders on the south
tide of the river. I do not believe he
would stop at even running this boat
out over the baa where U would surely
perish."
"What shall we do?" Inquired Cap
tain Bulong to the sheriff.
"Arrest him and put him in irons,"
replied thacouaty oftktial.
"But who would take care of the
boat?" inquired the captain.
The two men went out on deck. Ban
kala followed tbeat. They could see
the breakers now leaped high in tha air
lar away to the front of the veesol, and
knew that this was where the river met
the waves of the ocean.
"The scoundrel seems to be cnrrying
us straight to oar death," said the cap
tain.
"We will go to him and remonstrate,"
said the sheriff,
"and compel ldia at tha musxle of
gun to turn the course of the vessel,'
replied the captain oi the militia.
The officers climbed the narrow stair
way again and approached the pilot
house. Jarvl disregarded their coming
in sullenness. tie hold on to the wheel
and kept the nose of the vessel pointing
toward the breakers. Bankala had
followed the filters and stood behind
the smokestack where she availed her
aelf of Its warmth and at the same time
could listen to tha interview with the
pilot
" Yoa have brougbt ua past the fisher
men and are taking ua toward the
aoean," said Captain Budlong.
The pilot ignored him in the accus
tomed manner of.stoautboat men.
"We want an explanation," demand
ed Budlong,
"Yes, and we want it at once," spoke
tha sheriff, who was a man of personal
courage and aecustomed to the nature
of the rough men at the mouth of the
river.
"I am running this boat," replied
Jarvl"
" But you are running her in the
wrong direction," said the captain.
"You bad better run her yourself
tliea, since yoa knew e much about
it," restored the pilot scornfully.
"We understand nothing aboat
eteamboaiug, but we do know that you
are going in the wrong direction," re
plied the sheriff.
"Well, if you know nothing about
running a boat yon had better go down
stairs," said Jarvi.
"We will do nothing of the kind,"
said Budlong who was also a spirited
fellow. "I, as commander of the forces
for which this vessel was chartered, de
mand that your turn back and proceed
to the head of tlie Island."
"I can't do It," replied Jarvi.
"Why" asked the captain.
"I am in the south channel and will
now be compelled to round the well
point of the island ami return on the
north side," said the pilot.
"Why did you come so far out of the
way?" asked the sheriff.
"Swept into the old south cliaonul by
accident and couldn't get out," replied
Jarvi, doggedly.
The boat continued to head for the
breakers. Jarvl looked coolly out into
the dark ocean, now and then lit up by
a dash of spray, while the t tt'.cen look
ed on in doubt. They did not believe
the man. But still they did not be
lieve that he would take them into n
death which would carry him with
them.
The point of the island butting out
toward the bar was now close at hand.
While the breakers from the ocean
Come nearly to its shores, the men be
lieved that the island could be paused
by the flat bottomed river bout,
But Jarvi headed straight on.
"Why do you not turn to the right?"
asked Captain Budlong.
"We would run her into the sand,"
replied the pilot.
"But you are running her into the
breakers," replied the sheriff.
"It is better for her there," coolly
replied the treacherous man at the
wheel.
The boat began to rock and leap like
a wild animal which found itself sud
denly in the clutches of nn enemy. It
was but a shell, only intended for l lie
smooth waters of the river, and wild
not lie expected to live on tlie ocean mid
especially on the river bar, one of the
roughest places known to seamen. The
men down stairs fell about the deck
like drunkards and while some because
deathly sick, others were alarmed.
Bankala could conceal her fears no
;ongr. "That man, sue am, is
taking us to our doom. Tlie bout can
not live in this sea. lie could have
passed the point of the island without
coming into the breakers. The water
is deep there.
She had come from her place of con
cealment and spoke with all of the
earnestness of a woman, and the cool
ness of a man.
Jarvi looked around at her with a
ghostly smile of contempt, but did not
budge the wheel.
Consider yourself n prisoner, said
Captain lludlong.
All right," replied the pilot. Then
he released the wheel-and walked out of
the pilot house. The boat leaped and
reeled. The propelling wheel alternate.
ly rose above and sank deep Into the
water revolving as useleFsly as a flutter-
mill. The vessel was left to the mercy
of the breakers.
The last extremity hud been reached.
The sheriff drew his revolver, and
pointing it at Jarvi, said :
"(io back to that wheel ana hike us
out of this or I Bhall shoot you like i
dog!"
'All right," replied Jarvi in a con
teinptuous voice.
Then the man started as if he would
enter the door of the pilot houec, but
he turned quickly and leaped into the
foaming breakers below.
Bankala, keenly alive to the impend
ing crisis, buro headed and bare armed
sprang to the wheel. She glanced down
into the angry sea, and hurriedly exam
ined the shore line to the north; then
with distended muscles she liore tbwn
on the lever that governed the rudder
and rang the engineer to turn on the
steam.
CHAl'TKHXXI.
Old Beadog Wounded.
"Is that a boat or light on shore?"
"It is a boat, yon see she is to the
right of Chinook l'oint and there is u
wide channel of river there."
"She muy bring the soldiers."
"I hope to God she will. Those
fellows are reinforcing their strength
and we can't hold out much longe
against them."
Thus spoke old Beadog. A hand to
hand fight had just taken place on the
water and while the encounter was
draw the northsiders knew that thei
strength was being exhausted wtiile that
of their enemy was being increased by
force of numbers.
The only hope of the northsiders was
the arrival of tlie state troops. The
militia was not ordered out for tlie pur
pose of taking part in the fight, if it
could be avoided, but to patrol the river
and prevent bloodshed.
The state maintained tlie right of its
citixens to fish to the middle of tli
stream wherever that might he detenu
iued to lie, and claimed the right
protect their life and property north
that point.
It was a question of lHiundary line
and as is usual where there arc disputes
about such matters, each side constantly
encroached on the lights of the other.
The first bloodshed had brought out the
worst element of the soutlisidu and they
determined to drive back or destroy,
even to the line of the north shore.
The boat came slowly down the river.
The belligerent fishermen watched it
with intense interest on both sides.
"I hope to God she brings the sol
diers." repeated Old Beadog as it came
nearer and nearer, "tiabo Jarvi will
take care of them," cusually remarked
a southside leader to his companion.
It did contain the soldiers, and the
reader already knows of its movements,
and the treachery of its pilot.
After the bout passed away to the
south of the island, the northsiders re
laxed into a feeling almost hopeless.
The night was cool ami culm, but an
unusual darkness settled down upon the
waters. The stars shown out and guve
forth shadows that darkened the sur
face of the water. A black veil hung
above it like a mantle. The contending
fishermen lay upon their oars and arms.
Tim first blush of dawn would bring the
southbiders upon their enemy. The
southsiders were counseling one another
to stand firm to the end. If they could
only stay the destruction of their traps
until the arrival of the soldiers ihev
feared no further trouble.
With the first Hush of the red in the
east the southsiders moved out to the
north. They did not apprehend any
danger of interference from the soldiers.
They left that to Culm Jarvi. Their
purpose was to make the light linal this
morning. They knew that they possess
ea me numiiers ami should they suc
ceed in destroying the northsiders' traps
and return to their homes on the south
side the victory they hud so long sought
would be complete. When once at
their homes tlie enormity of their crime
would lie lost sight of in a measure and
the future would find them masters of
the river.
When the traps were once destroyed
it would lie difficult to rebuild them,
and through the prejudice they expect
ed to create against the traps, they
hoped to interest their own state and
the United States congress against the
construction of fishtraps in the Colum
bia river. They had already sent a
long petition to thier congressman, not
only showing that tlie traps were de
structive to the fish industry but were
Iso detrimental and hazardous to navi
gation.
Axes, drags, arms and dynamite had
icen provided by the southsiders. They
did not w ish upon the whole to resort to
iloodshed. They came, however, de
ermined to win. They expected to do
this through intimidation and over
whelming numbers,.
But there were those among them
who are always found in a mob organiza
tion, that preferred bloodshed to any
other feature of the fight between the
two factions.
The southsiders moved along like so
many shadows to the attack. A couple
f launches used for towing in the fish
ing boats on other occasions had been
secured, and sailboats hud been con
verted into ronboats for the morning
attack. These were manned by large
foriies and formed a line for tlie main
neon nter.
Old Beadog hail assembled his men
near the center of the largest group of
traps and took active command at this
point. It meant more for him than for
all the other northsiders combined and
he interested himself accordingly.
Ho possessed an iron nerve and this
was wrought up to the highest tension
It was the critical point of tlie long
struggle and should he lose, thousands
if dollars worth of property would pass
from his hand-'. Willi his traps de
st roved his cannery would he useless;
with traps and cannery both out. of use
the men would be out of employment
and could not pay their bills at bis
store; neither could they pay their rent
The traps were the life of the town and
the town was owned by Beadog. .
His dark flotilla rose and fell with
tlie swells of the bay like a school of
whales lying at rest, and old Beadog
was as silent and watchful m the bull
leader of such an aggregation. Ho was
as rugged us a water god and feared the
waves no more thud did old Neptuue
who ruled them.
The suspense was finally relieved
In the shadows of the slowly approach
ing morn could be seen the boats of the
southsiders stretching up and down
the river like a great black wave. Their
numbers looked as ominous as did their
dark line of advance.
Men, to your urms and oars!" hiBsed
old BeadoK. And this command was
taken up and passed down the line.
The arms consisted principally of
lonir polos. These had been cut for the
double purpose of keeping back the
boats of the enemy and at the same
time to be used us cudgels in case o:
resistance and hiind to hand conflict.
While it was a justifiable cuso for
employing firearms, the fishermen
found that they were not accustomed to
their use and they realized further tha
the less bloodshed on the occasion the
hotter it would be (or their cuuse in the
long run. This was the sentiment on
both sides though many had broiigh
along rilles and revolvers to use in the
direst extremities.
