Our old fri'nd, Hark W. Dunham,
was a visitor to Bandon Saturday.
Everybody
knows
Hark,
the
grizzled brunette who for so many
years handled the throttle on the
river steamers, and who bears the
distinction of being the only man
who can smoke a corncob pipe and
whistle “Turkey in the Straw” sim
ultaneously. Hark is naw the guar
dian angel of peace during the noc
turnal hours at the county seat, and
every roaming bov.ne and barking
canine in the town have discovered
the fact to their sorrow.
Away back in his younger and
better looking days Hark had an
experience in Bandon that he will
not forget.
He actually turned
deathly pale when he related the
circumstance Saturday, and as it
has never been published we are go
ing to give our readers the benefit of
it now. It is best told in Hark’-s own
language. Here it is:
“Dear me (or something similar),
I never look at yon corner room of
tire hotel but I think of a hair-raising
experience I had there twenty-five
years ago. Well. —, I’ll »eJi you
fellers the whole — story. I had
that room rented,
1
foi I stayed here
nights then.
“Well,------- , one night I got in
pretty — late with the boat, and
when 1 went to the hotel the clerk
told me there was a man in my room
to share the bed with me. I didn’t
care a — bit about that, so
<t
mounted the stairs to turn in. i
was no lamp in the room and I
didn’t have a match, so I just pt el cd
off in the dark and rolled under the
covers. The other feller was in the
middle of the bed a* still as a mouse,
and I ordered him to shift a littie
and make room, as a part of my
carcass had to hang over th' tee '
side of the bunk.
“ ‘Hey, partner, do you want the
whole — bed?’ I asked.
“He never answered, so I si ike
a tittle louder next time, giving u m
a — good jolt in the ribs to boot.
Still he was as mum as an oyster.
Then I just reached over to move
him with my hands, and Lord bless
me if I didn't touch a face that was
as cold as a Klondike icycle. He '
was dead—«lead as a mackerel, by
gosh.
“Well, I just had to lay there
with that corpse for fully five min
utes plum paralyzed with terror be
fore I coulij bump the ceiling i id
let a whoop out of me that raised
the whole — house. The clerk came
rushing in with a lantern, follo> > d
by other lodgers, and I went ru.-li—
ing out three steps at a jump for the
street. I just lingered long enough
to get a squint at his wide open
glassy eyes, and didu't stop for
clothes nor nothin’.
“No, sir, by gosh, you couldn't
hire me for fun, money or marbles
to go into that— room again,’’ con
cluded Hark as he lighted the fur
nace of his corncob and whistled
“Turkey in the Straw” with about
the expression of one who whistles
in a graveyard at the midnight
hour.
