There were sad part ings at the wharf, a few tears were shed , and as the wharf faded away there was waving of handkerchiefs. The steamer had a cargo of lumber aboard, 375,000 feet of spruce lumber, a miscellaneous lot of general freight, some San Francisco people, A. P. Wil son, of Hobsonville, the editor of the i H eadlight and a pair of bantam chick- ■ ens. Among tJae San Francisco people were Mr. Lauder, who is interested in | the Truckee Lumber Co., and a San Francisco musician, the latter having been left stranded with a musical troupe in Portland but now cheerfully enjoying the trip home. A stiff nor’wester was blowing, all the sails were raised as soon as outside, and the steamer Truckee with its precious cargo was soon gliding by Netarts beach and the weather being fine and clear we readily discerned lhe numerous camps on the beach, and the hosts of Tilla- mookers who had gathered there that day to witness the parade of Troupe E. of Vancouver barraks, which was outing on the beach. Netarts passed, the picturesque (’ape Lookout next attracted attention, and Capt Thomas says the cove on the south side is emarkably placid in the summer, being sheltered from the north west wind, and that he had frequently taken shelter in the cove, finding deep water. I le says with the help of a ca ble freight can be expeditiously dis charged or loaded there, and that it is an excellent place to take on lumber, as the largest ships afloat can lie there in perfect safety in the summer, though in winter he says it could not be used as a harbor A railroad could he build from the cove to Tillamook bay at reasonable ex pense, as there would he no great atti tudes to cross, and the largest lumber vessels afloat could be loaded with lum ber in the summer, giving a sure market for the large bodies of timber oil Tilla mook bay’s tributaries, regardless of bar improvements. This is not idle talk but is a scheme that can be realized with great advantage to Tillamook. Next we pass in sight of the glittering sands of Sand (’ape and Siletz, almost imagining we can see the enthusiastic prospectors washing out the precious metal from the lately discovered gold beaches. It could be noticed all along that there were fires in the mountains and a somber cloud hung over the Willam ette valley. A magi ifleent column of smoke ascended from the summit of Mt. Hebo, giving it the appearance of old Vessuvius in her palmiest days. When opposite Yaquina, Brother Wilson first showed signs of sea-sickness, more po litely termed mal de mer, and he grace fully cast his supper windward. He said he wasn’t sick particularly , and fre quently did such things just after eating. A great many people have told me the same thing Later on Mr. Wilson was stretched out oil the deck, absolute ly paralyzed with maldemer, ami en tirely unmindful of what was going on around, or the flangers of the briny deep. In fact he rather hoped the boat would sink. While in this condition a spoony young couple were sitting on <leck, and no one Ire ng in sight (they thought) they concluded to embrace ea< h other, and did it in a loving man ner. At this juncture Mr. Wilson turn ed his face toward them and rolled his eyes, and the anient lovers collapsed in a heap, the lady fainting completely in to the arms of the fresh swain. Mr. Wilson was still conscious, ami to allay their fears, he gallantly said : “Excuse me, friends, but don't lie alarmed; 1’11 never live to tell what I haw .” Mr. Wilson may claim this a lie «nd an injustice to him, but in order to save further controversy, 1’11 admit it now. Nightfall was now at hand ami the fixed light at Yaquina shone out in re plendent beauty where the smoky land scape met the horizon on the east, and a pitchy foglmnkoti the west looked like a basaltic wall, over which Venus peep- ed in her soft radiance, being mistaken for another light bouse by our imagina This, and tive musical companion. the Ireardless musician's expression, “that be had seen a mirage in the Ar ological gardens at Han Francisco,” re vived friend Wilson, so there was no more trouble in that quarter. The musician was asked to play some familiar tunes, but be said he didn't know anything but classical music. He | couldn’t strike a note of Yankee Doodle or Capt. Jinks, but he warbled all ‘round over Faust, Pabst, Wagner and Wein- bardt. His Wagnerian renditions were excellent, and if we could have filled him up with Weinhardt, I think he could have sawed off a few stanzas of Yankee Doodle without dulling his finer sensibilities. Say, his soul was full of the poetical essence and effulgence of ¡melody. He could pull out rhapsody by 4 he yard, like unwinding a hale of i binding twine. He never quavered or semi quavered. Harmonies was his forte and his fortissimo. He didn’t know much of any thing else, and didn’t need to. When he went to his berth at night he opened the little round glass door that covers one of the port lights, and set his shoes in there for safe keep ing during the night. He shut the blamed thing, thinging his shoes were secure until he wanted them in the morning. He opened it in the morning and reached in (out) to get bis foot wear. The boat gave a little lurch and he pul his arm full length into a biiny wave The steamer had traveled 400 miles since he threw his shoes out at the win dow’, and iie came on deck barefooted to ask the captain if he hadn’t lost a part of the ship. He said “he put his shoes in the little cupboard in his berth last night, and this morning his shoes and the cupboard were both gone. (’apt. Thomas loaned him a pair of slippers to wear to S. F., hut told him to put them under the bed on retiring. This same musician says he played second fiddle to Ysaye, the world-re nowned violinist, in S. F. last winter. Ysaye didn’t say so, but I saye this soft young musician with lilly white hands and dimpled cheeks did say so This is all that need be said about the dapper little musician with rosy cheeks, ruby lips ami auburn hair. His ethereal soul is too fantastic for practical purposes in a man, aixl if he had donned dresses all the male passengers except Mr. Wilson would have been flirting with him. Whales, porpoises and sharks were sighted at various times, and they Mere generally in schools, but some times in pairs. It might be well to state right here that the whales are opposed to whaling in their schools. Mr. Lamler amused himself Monday by trying to hook some porpoises that were racing with the boat. These fish are about six feet long and are quite lively, always following steamers up and down the coast, and seem to take great sport in racing Mr Lauder baited a large hook with a piece of meat on a line about 20 feet long, and on the other eml fastened a lightly-corked, beer bottle A large porpoise took the hook, and the bottle was thrown ovei board This seemed to please the great fish and lie sped along faster, appaiently enjoy ing the sport. The bottle bobbed up and down like a cork, alongside the steamer, ami occasionally the fish would turn a summersault in the air to add zest to the race This was on Monday evening, and on Tuesday morning Mr L h - Porpoise was still alongside, ter on he broke the bottle and »e lost sight of him. The next thing of interest was t be silvery Hying fish. There Hre myriad» of them off the California coast, and they can fly several hand ed yards hy darting down ami dipping their wings in th» water. In appearance they are lunch like a trout, except the wings hik I they are excellent eating. Mr. lannler sat on the hurricane deck with a bucket lietween his knees, and at the end of a long thread he dangled a fly. The fish flew after the swinging fly, and Mr funnier caught them in the bucket. He cut their wings off and look some home to show the trout he caught ill Till amook. A queer little flail that floats on the water by means of a small nail in found on many parts of our journey, and they are commonly known an “Portugese Men of War." Frequently they may be seen, a dozen hitched in a string, tow ing an aliolene shell, loaded with sup plies In places these sailing flsli are so thick that they reeamble vast b»dn of sea weed, and in wine places the water is so thick with their spawn that it re- nembles butter milk, ami in such places the lx>«t made slow progress She left ■ deep furrow for her wake, which did not clo»e tip for hour», and as there in phonpliorun in the s|Mtwn, it was like a streak of livid fire aft»r night. On our way we met the st»am»r Col umbia on her way to Portland, and th» collier Mackinaw, bound for Heattie to g»t coal The steamer Stat» of Califor nia overtook us Tuesday evening off Pt. Arena, Cal The coast of California for tli» fir»t time was visible at Pt. Arena, a dens» fog prevaling on land Enough could TILLAMOOKNEWS AS TOLD IN THE VALLEY PAPERS. Statesman : Mr. and Mrs. C.
