ESCAPE FROM SEA
DURING WAR IS TOLD
In 1918, Andy Nolan, a Tillamook
boy, who had Htudied naviugation,
was made third mate of the Du Maru
at Portland. The war with Germany
was on. and while Andy had not hud
much deep sea experience, he had a
good education, and was theoretically
acquainted with modern navigation.
While he did not profess to be thor­
oughly qualified for the position, he
was induced by the captain of the Du
Maru to go with him as third mate
of the vessel, which carried a load of
gasoline, loaded torpedoes and high
explosives. It was not an inviting
mission upon which to ship, hut men
were scarce at the time, and young
Nolan signed for the trip.
The vessel travelled 2,000 miles to­
ward the Phillipines, which was her
destination, when, during a typhoon
some distance from Guam, a bolt of
lightning struck the ship and ignited
the gasoline. The engineer and flre-
meq deserted the engine room, not
stopping to shut down the engine, and
the ill-fated vessel steamed on at a
fair rate of speed, Obedient to the
captuin’s orders, Andy luunched a
large ship’s boat, and was cut loose
by the remaining purt of the crew,
Three other boats were later launch-
ed, and the captain and a few men
went last on a raft. Shortly after
the departure of the crew the doomed
vessel blew up and sank. The tire
had reached th«' explosives.
When he left the ship, young Nolan
had the reckoning in his mind, and
after cruising about for some time
looking for survivors of the explosion,
he took reckoning, and with the aid
of the boat’s compass, set his course
for the far distant Phillipines, having
a definite landing place in view. Then
came days of watching and wuiting.
The men were reduced to a scanty
ration of both food and water, and as
the boat sailed on, the young Tilla­
mooker had his hands full in settling
disputes and keeping a semblance of
discipline on board the little craft,
which had been rigged with a mast
and sails. Daily he took observations
of their course, and rigged a log. by
raö htjljt
which he calculated th«' distance made
as they progressed. To the credit of
the first voyage mute, he landed with
in 31) miles of the place he hail fig­
ured hi1 would strike land in th«' Phil-
llpine group. Upon landing, they
found natives, who took them to a
mine operated by a whit«' man, who
gave them clothes and provided food,
and showed them othei kindnesses.
Eventually, th« y wore found and con­
veyed to Munilla, where they were
well cared for. The captain was sav­
ed, having been picked up by a vessel,
and later died from th«' effects of a
fall sustained at one of t)ie ports
where the ship upon which he found
refuge, was docked.
In due time Andy, who is a brother
in law of Thos. Coates of this city,
returned to Portlund, none the worse
for his perilous trip, and is now a
resident of Portland, und is engaged
in the uuto tire business. He is u
brother of Ouk Nolan, now of Calif-
orniu; und wus a son of John H. No­
lan und wife, who were pioneers of
this county, und whose homesteud of
320 acres, is now owned by Peter
Helsel.
Few young men have had a more
thrilling adventure than that exper-
ieneed by Andy Nolun, und it is sufe
to say thnt it wus an experience that
he would not cure to repeat.
NO DRUNKNESS SEEN
AT LAST COUNTY FAIR
It is said that not a single case of
drunkenness was seen at the recent
county fair. In past years many cas­
es wore noticed, und urrests resulted,
principally of non-residents. Many
people remarked about the absence of
drunkenness and rowdyism, and the
fact of its absence at the fair, is a
flattering testimonial to the class of
people who attended it. While dep­
uties sheriff and plain clothes men
were present, not a single arrest was
made during the entire fair week.
QUARTER OF FINES
GOES TO THE STATE
On«' fourth of ull fine, received in
this county for violations of the pro­
hibition law goes to the state, and is
added to u fund to pay mi n employed
by the stat« in prohibition enforce­
ment. The tines in this county for
September will go far beyond those
collected for prohibition violations
during th«' previous month.

DEER ARE PLENTIFUL
AS EVER, ’TIS SAID
An old timer who still goes out and
gets his two deer each season, and
who lives up one of th«' rivers leading
down to the bay, stated recently
that “deer are as plentiful as when
he moved to his place in this county
fifteen years ugo." He stated that
“deer often browse and sleep within
half a mile of the ranches, and ure
safer there than in many of the open
places.” The country along the Til­
lamook streams is rocky, brushy, and
in muny places ulmost inaccessible to
hunters, places where precipices and
dense jungles of brush, small trees
und the devil's stick conspire to
make hunting a heroic undertaking.
In such places the doe raises her off­
spring, und in some open space on a
ledge of rock, the buck lies in the sun
until his horns are hardened so that
he can protect himself from some
other pugnacious buck, or risk war
with some predatory animal of the
panther species. It will be many
years before the deer of this region
become extinct. There are too muny
inaccessible hiding places in the
mountains and uplands of this county.
-WID e
RUSSELL ARRESTED
NOT GAME WARDEN
The fact that a Geo. Russell was
fined in the circuit court recently has
caused deputy gnnie warden Russell
to explain that he is not the man who
was lined for operating an automobile
while intoxicated. The man who was
lined was Dr. Geo. Russell, formerly
of Cioverdule, and the similarity of
names even to the sirnante, was con­
fusing. The deputy game warden
does not drink moonshine or any
other brand, and his old friends all
know it, but others might not, hence
this item. The whole trouble was oc­
casioned by inadvertently leaving otT
the guilty man’s professional title.
