McConnell, However, Finds Surfeit of Condensed Milk Has Tendency to Produce Biliousness and Siege Is No Light One First Experience in Catching Fish Described and Safety Razor Used to Dress It. ARTICLE! SO. 7. BT R. H. CONSELU SAVSALITO. Cal., Aug. 10. Night was fast settling down upon bluff Cape Mendocino when I turned to leave the wrecked steamship Bear. As I trudged down the beach, littered with the broken fragments of thousands of cases of condensed milk, my toe struck against some object in the sand and, unearthing it. I perceived it to be a can of milk, the contents apparently undis turbed. You may well Imagine my delight at this acquisition, particularly since I had not eaten since breakfast and only a moment before I had mo rosely resigned myself to go supperless to bed. It had been my purpose to walk out some distance upon the road to Petro lia, 15 miles away, to camp by the wayside when it should become too dark for walking' and then, when the full moon should arise at midnight, to continue into town. But now all thoughts of a midnight tramp had van ished. With a can of milk cm which to sup, I was no longer a starved sin ner fleeing through the black night after grub, but a rich man, miraculous ly relieved from'the pangs of hunger. With an eagerness almost pathetic I scratched about among the wreckage and uncovered a doxen cans more and all uninjured, as I immediately ascer tained by sampling. Then I looked around for a suitable place to camp. AHr Carries Chill. On all the Mendocino coast the trades blow with a cold, penetrating chill, even in Summer, and to pass the night with any degree of comfort one must be protected from that cutting blast. Just on my left hand and well above the tides was a deep indentation in the bluffs; on the beach was a miscellany of ship's canvas, broken packing caaes SOME PASSING EVENTS IN THE 3 f I. : V, 1 A entertained their man v frtenda dedicating1 1 and bits of lumber, and since I am a fellow of a mechanical turn, I soon constructed for myself, out of these materials, a "nest" that would have rivaled the palisaded retreat of poor Robinson Crusoe or the famed "tree house" of the Swiss Family Robinsons. My "commissary," so fortuitously pro duced and now sadly reduced by a healthy appetite, abetted by the labor of construction, to four cans, I placed on a box just within the door. "What?" you exclaim, horrified, "Do you mean to tell us that you consumed nine cans of milk at one sitting?" "Tesaura, yessir" I blush to have to confess it. but I gulped three-fourths of that dozen cans, though. Indeed, to ward the last my "tummy" took on a very rotund appearance, whereas be fore It had been dismally concave. Yum, yum ! Only then, when I had "supped," did I reach for my knife to whittle kindling for a campnre. It was gone! I had lost it! On a tramp such as mine, through a country as wild as God made it, with houses long distances apart and fre quently 100 miles between stores, the loss of a knife is a very serious handi cap. For that Invaluable tool, weapon, utensil I had a dozen Indispensable needs each day. And when, two days later. I became caught In the forest and had to resort to the expedient of clean ing trout with a safety razor, I would almost have given my shirt for a pocket knife. But I am getting ahead of my story. Where, then, could I have left It? Suddenly I remembered that I had been trimming kodak films in one of the lifeboats upon the beach; and, without waiting, I started off at once, on a run. to see if by any lucky chance I might recover my property. On the way there I passed two of those diminutive dun-colored burros. . Al " - - n 1 REALM OF SPORTDOM. 1 ... J i I 1 their brand-new awlmmlncr and 71 .1 4 so Indispensable in the coal regions of Colorado. They are ridiculous appear ing little creatures, as you know, all head and ears and disposition or in telligence, which is the same thing. Nosing stupidly about among the lit ter upon the beach, they looked up as I approached, furtively, from under shaggy eyebrows, and gave me such a "knowing" leer that I at once suspected some mischief was on their brutish minds. And I was right. When I had returned again within sight of my "nest" the spectacle that greeted my eyes was one of the most extraordinary that I ever looked upon. Burros Show Canning:. Those burros, having some way ac quired a taste for milk, through possi bly having discovered broached cans upon the beach, or maybe because some sailor hed fed it to them, had figured out that I had found what they could not; and. waiting until my back was turned, had invaded by premises, thrust in their great heads at my door and, seizing each a can In his powerful Jaws, bit down upon It, penetrating the rust ed tin. Then they sat down upon their hunk ers, side by side, elevated their serious faces toward heaven and, with a vast contentment, let that rich, sweet fluid trickle down their .throats and over neck and ears and eyes. When a can had been emptied, patiently taking turn, each licked the adhering drops from the other's countenance so care ful were they not to waste any. Then they immediately reached for more pushing in the whole front of my dwelling in their eagerness to get two heads in at one door. I did not know whether to laugh or to get angry. But the sight was so ridiculous that 1 laughed until tears came, the cunning little brutes observ ing me with an assumed innocence all the while. Then I spent the remain . " : .-.a It.. -J ' i J 1 ' m 297 " m fO der of the evening repairing my house and digging "milk" for those insatia ble burros. At last, however, their stomachs protruded as did my own. and. apparently satisfied for the first and only time In their lives, they sauntered gravely away. At two cans for a quarter, my I hate to figure the ex pense. Twenty-flve miles down the coast, a day later, I came upon a rancher trundling an unbroken case in a wheel barrow, and all the children upon the cape had the stomach ache. Truly, it's a poor wreck that brings nobody good! BllUeaaaeaa t Walked Off. Rising at daybreak the following morning (a Sunday), with tfo appetite for breakfast, and my tongue as thick as your hand. I climbed a rough trail to the lighthouse, was aet upon the road to Petrolia by the keeper, and hoping to walk off the blllious effects of to much milk by vigorous exercise, struck into a .five-mile log, which I kept up into town. But here, for the first and only time on the long march, I became "laid oat." The sun struck upon the hillsides with a blinding, re sistless heat, and by 11 o'clock, the mercury on tho porch of the Petroiia House touched SO degrees. But that was in the shade only: It must have registered 100 degrees in the open, and a clinical thermometer held to my temples would have shown more than that. 1 went down to the Mattole River, removed my clothes and bathed in tho icy waters. Then I lay down and enjoyed one of those delicious sick headache that arise from a disordered stomach. The st?ht of an, empty milk can upon the shingle wrought upon my nerves like an emetic. Immediately I became relieved of that excess of milk. At once I felt better, and by 1 P. At I waa entirely well and began to look about for something to eat. How inconsistent is the human animal! But condensed milk presented Itself to my mind with a curious mixture of horror and disgust. Mattole li BealtlfsL The Mattole River, In lowr Hum boldt County, California, Is one of the most ccautlful streams that ever it has been my good fortune to visit and I have visited a good many. But far and above its physical attractions to me that day is the fact that it is a famous trout stream. Anglers take note! From its clear and crystal waters, are the tales of Its enthusiasts one-half true, have been taken creels of speckled beauties that should recall the shade of Isaac Walton. But Ikey las not been seen upon the Upper Mattole; perhaps tho fishing Is better In the Styx, I do not know; but any way, there are trout in the MaJUole. for I have sien them andcaught one! "One," you laugh with derision. 'Only one. Why, in our streams. now Oh, yes, -I know. But then I am no fisherman; at least no hand after those cold-blooded little fellows that you love so well. Catfishing 18 my forte and the only "leal" ' trout I ever aaught was in a hole in the Mattole and in consequence I'll swear by that stream until she runs dry, for all trout hive developed into something higher in the Darwinian scale. A.d I caught him with a piece of linen thread on tl.e end of a redwood limb for a pole. Tale of Tront Told. It was a Sunday, and I was hungry. very hungry, and the stores at Petroiia ..ore closed. There remained the hotel, of course, bat for pecuniary reasons I gave It a wide berth. There also was the Mattole River, and in it were trout. Fortunately I possessed a fly, a "coachman" it was, and a fathom of strong linen thread. For a pole I broke off a 20-pound redwood limb and since I had lost my knife, I could not even trim off all the branches those which I could not bite or tear off. I let dangle. Thus equipped, I crept softly down to a deep hole, where the current steadied a moment at the foot of long riffle, and clumsily enough, threw her In. There was no science in that cast I simply flung about four yards of black thread and a "coachman' into the pool with a prayer" that as- cenjed from a hungry stomach. Instantly the waters of the Mattole were churned Into foam, the 20-pound limb of redwood, with its festoon of leaves bent nearly double, and the No. 25 linen thread hummed like a fiddle string. Eureka, there Is virtue in prayer, else oth rwlse I r.er would have captured him. I simply prayed and pulled. With both fists clasping the pole, both feet braced firmly against the rocks, I Just lifted the fighting llt.tle beaity right out of the water like blooming catfish. "Play him?" I know nothing about such tricks. Btronacer of Two Wlna. I waa the stronger and won that is all. But when he came up out of the watr the pole rtraightened with i jerk and Sir Trout, coming like a cata pult struck me square upon the chest. I al.nost sobbed aloud, for I thought the thread had broken, and throwing out my arms with the instinct of wrestle-, I hugged him to my bosom like a brother But he was slippery as an eel, and wriggled loose. My feet be came entangled in the thread and down we went, sweet Dolly Varden, luckily, underneath. Whether my weight crushed the life out of her. or whether she died of shame a.-.d mortification I know not. nor care; she never moved again of her own volition. And when I came to unwrap the thread from about my ankles, I saw then how strong It was. There was honest linen on that spool, and if I badn t forgotten the manufacturer's name, I would write him a testimonial. That is all, except that I had to pre pare him for the fire with the blade of r-y safety-razor. and thereafter went without a shave for many a day. how big was her" Oh, come. In the delirium of con quest. I estimated him at three pounds. But he measured from my elbow to my wrist. Figure it out for yourself.

While the burden really len't any hardship for healthy men upon moderate marches. It has a decided ten dency to restrain any frolicking by the wayside among unhardened troops. Roughly speaking, each man carries equipment weighing about 50 pounds when on the march in active service. At least, that's what it weighs by the scales in the morning. It seems to weigh a whole lot more by Evening if the march has been long. The main Items of the modem "white man's burden" are rifle, blankets, shel ter (half of shelter tent), poncho, am munition.

The first annual Intra-club tennis tournament of the Laurelhurst Club, with one exception, is a matter of his tory, and it was a decided success from all viewpoints. The final contests were staged yes terday afternoon before an appreciative audience. The main event, the men's singles, was won by S. B. Cooke over Eugene P.

Their opponents, Fred Barber and Eugene Steinmetz, were not to be out done, so they evened up matters by annexing the fourth set, 4-6. After sereval deuce contests Cooke and Har rison managed to gather In the decid ing game and take home the men's doubles championships, 7-5. Because of the length of the men's doubles affair it was found impossible to play out the mixed doubles.
