BAY NOTES.
Vaquina Re uliiican.
The summer 6eason in Newport
is now at its highest point. There
are probably two thousand people
here taking a vacation.
The sudden and unexpected ar
rival of the cruiser Charleston at
Yaqui.ia bay to day, when she was
srpposed to lie 23 10 miles a ay, is
causing considerable excit-.-mi-nf
and comment all over the Pa.-itic
coast. Has the Behring sea mud
dle anything to do with her move
ment is the question?
Two foolheaded young men by
the names of Gibson and Jones
started last F.iday to make the
trip to Portland in a email sail
boat. Tfiey got about twenty-live
miles north and were forced to re
turn, getting hack to the bay on
Sunday, probably satisfied that
they are not full-fledged seamen.
They certainly were fortunate in
getting back to dry land safely.
