"Bleeding and mangled and minus a

off by a shark, a young seagu flut-
tered aboard the steamer Alliance,

..,..-... , ,
out over Coos Bay bar bound for
Portland, and remained on the deck ,
untll the Couch street dock was
reached. In the- meantime, me
wounds of the bird had been dress
ed and ho was fed with every
delicacy that could be scraped up in
the galley.
"The gull roosted somewhere In
the rigging last night. But bright
and early this morning" he heard the
shrill call of Willamette River gulls
and he flew away to join them, ap
parently fully restored, with the ex
ception of the missing limb. If he
.wants to return dowa the coast when
the Alliance sails, the officers say
they will give him a free passage and
the best of meals. Tho bird is not
supposed to bo more than three
months old.
"Suffering from tho pangs of hun
ger, a large number of other gulls
dropped aboard the steamer at divers
times before the Columbia River was
reached. Crumbs and other food
were tossed to them. After appeas
ing their ravenous appetites every
one of them left except the wounded
bird. When the steamer was neai
the coast the sky was clouded with
them. But many of tho gulls ap
P2ar,ed to be too frightened to board
tho ship tp look for food. After
circling around for a while the main
body of tho flock would direct a
course toward the shore.
"The Alliance made one of the
quickest round-trip passages she has
completed for several weeks, despite
tho fact that she had to buck a souin
eaU gale on tho down voyage. On
that part of the passage the officers
state that the sea was about as rough
as it usually gets. Some of the
steam schooners headed for San
Francisco wero barely holding their
own. But returning from Coos Bay
tho weather was clear and scarcely
a rippling wave contributed to hinder
her progress.

W. E. Doddy of' Eugene, Re
covers Missing Diamond from
Bottom of Woodman's Shoe
EUGENE, Ore., Dec. 28. A pecu
liar find of a diamond ring that had
been given up for lost was made in
Eugene a day or two ago. W. E.
Doddy, proprietor of a cigar store,
lost the ring several weeks ago. He
advertised for It, but without result
and gave up all hope of ever recov
ering it. A few days ago a logger
bought a new pair of shoes at a local
shoe store and left his old shoes
there. The clerk, picking them up to
throw them on a rubbish pile, noticed
something on the sole of one of them
that glittered. By scraping off the
mud that had collected between the
spikes In the t.ole he unearthed a
ring with a stone setting that re
senVbled a diamond. He took It to
a Jeweler and found that It was a
genuine "spark." Mr. Boddy heard
of tho find and upon describing the
ring it was turned over to him.
The logger had evidently Btepped
on the ring while walking the streets
and it had stuck fast in the mud on
the solo of the shoe.
