realise the life the crew leads. The
slim death-dealers, heavy and compact,

that before we started our- cruise :but
little did we dream of the tossin that
was la store for us on the open waters
of the Pacific.

Opposite North Head light the fun

to rise out of the ocean and meet us.
They slapped the steel , sides of the
U-boat, they washed her decks, they
swept her time and again from bow to
the engine room hatch. On the con
' nlng , tower bridge eight of us were
gathered. Including the helmsman and
Lieutenant Commander Nielson. 'Up
and down from bow to stern, from port
to' starboard, we lurched and lunged as
' the nose of the .former Hun merchant
ship hunter plowed through the seas.

black smoke belched forth from the two
'exhausts of the 600 horsepower Diesel
engines. At times there was a lull In

"The building permit was issued De

and was occupied about the middle of
the summer of 1916.
"I find that In 19J the lots now oc

talned only old store buildings which
were assessed that year at a valuation
of $150. The total assessed valuation
of buildings and tots was S10,65O Taxes
for 1914 were $243.71. '

"In-19H the erection of new buildings
advanced the building valuation to 11000,
total valuation of buildings and lots,
111.200. and taxes, 1308.88.
"In 1917, additional building improve
ment advanced the -valuation to $5000,
total valuation, $15,200, and taxes $465.08.
"The owner of trfe apartment house is
Dr H. Ong. It consists of 19 apart
'one room apartments,' and contain a
