The steamer Truckee left Ilobsonville
Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock bound for
San Francisco. 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
