inIuccmcnt to establish mills and facto-
rigs near the head of Port Townsend
Bay
As at present run, the Phantom is Of
no more benefit to Townsend than any
of the other transient passing boats.
The ferry to the Island needs steam
boat rather than Whitehall boat, yet
Captain johnson supplied the require
m"nts OF the route with his Whitehall
boat better than it has been sup
piled by the steamer, because he could
always be relied on at some certain time
the steamer neccr by parties at dis
tance.
While IA wharf could be constructed at
Ebey's Landing that would resist the
surf that frequently beats so heavily on
that beach, yet none will probably he
built there until regular route is estub.
lished. Until this takes place it would
cost only tliilc to construct a large raft
of cedar logs securely joined together 50
the surf would not break it.. Fastcn this
to the buoy, where the surfboat takes
freight and passengers from the steamer.
A narrow way could he made on floating
logs, so joined together that the connec.
tion between the raft and the shore could
be easily broken when desired, yet in all
ordinary weather freight and passengers
could land on the raft and walk ashore
without the aid of a surf-boat, as now
used.
Some of these things are of self.evi,
dent benefit, yet others appear 10 he of
too little Importance to be noticed, yet
oftentmes the whole prosperity OF
community depends on the successful
carrying out Of such little details. Port
Townsend, to-day, might have been
much larger place than it is now if every
thing of this kind had been carefully at
tended to.

There are few farms there, but the

During the past two weeks much of
our time has been spent ON this Island.
Have travelled over quite large portion
of it, 50 that we are able to present
much information, concerning this, the
largest island in the Puget Sound basin,

Besides the result of our own observa.

nished about that region.
This Island, with Camano Island forms
Island county. Its Northern extremity
is near Deception Pass, while its upper
or Southern terminus is Mt Skagit Head,
about twenty five miles from Seattle
Between False and true Skagit Heads
is situated Bailey's Bay, which offers only
partial protection as a harbor
On the West side of the Island there
are No good harbors. The nearest ap
proach to anything Of the kind being al
Useless Bay, Mutiny Bay, and at Ad,
mralty Bay, near the Lighthouse. Eb-
ey's landing, opposite Port Townsend, is
not even a bay, being little more than a
roadstead.
!. The East.side of the Island is indented
with many fine, large bays and harbors.
Dugwalla Bay being situated near its
Northern extremity, not far from the
entrance to the SwinOmish. This bay is
three miles deep; a number of fine
ranches are situated around its head
Not far below this, on the Eastern side
of the Island is Shaskill Bay. This is
said to be quite good harbor, it is some
four miles North OF Mller's point. The
bay being about one-fourth of a mile in
depth.
Millers point forms the Eastern side
of Crescent HarbOr, and MAYORS point
its Western side. 1t is some four miles
across from point to point. The harbor
being one mile deep. This is well pro-
tected from all, except the Southeast
winds. Crescent harbor is only separa-
ted from Oak harbor by narrow strip
of land, forming MAYORS Point Oak
harbor being completely land-locked, a
sand-spit running out from MAYORS
point. so that as soon us vessels are once
behind it, they are in absolutely still
water, at all seasons of the year, and all
states OF the wind and weather. Vessels
drawing less than ten feet of water
can come IN at any stage Of the tide, al
though when inside the sand-spit, there
are flats extending out about One-iOurth
Of a mile from shore, that would prevent
a vessel from going clear up to the shore

Tom Jalakei, who had taken command of
tho party since the absence of the detective,
stated thGt since the disappearance of their
friends, they had been securing the plains
in cycry direction in search of them; and
that while acting as scout on his own hook,
Tic had discogcrci the baud who held tho
the detective prisoner, and had arranged to
surprise them and rescue him in the man
ner 10 which the rescue had been made.
The Turco- European led the party to
place where they found spring whcreat to
quench their thirst; meal also was pro.
vided. and the whole party set in motion to
80 toward the ruins to Gnd their still mis-
sing companion. In the meantime Frank
Midgeiy was enjoying number of startling
adventures on his own account At TIC
time the detective had left him, he had
waited for him to return, anticipating that
at most his friend would not be gouo moro
than half an hour. Tho half hour passed,
and the hours also, and the detective was
still absent. The young man at length
concluded to go ia search of his friend, but
before doing so cast about for good ,.lace
to picket the horses. In hunting around
lie came to an archwaY, aud leading the two
anlnoIs forward he was walking along wien
lie tnonsi,t he heard the sound of rippling
waters. lie was not deceived. lie soon
discovered spring Of water. The two
gladly quenchcd his own th;rst. Subee-
quently he picketed tho two animals and
started to look for his friend lie oontin-
ued tho search until near nightfall, when,
just as he was about to give up in despair,
he discovered tho entrance to the same pas
soge way which the detective had entered
Knowing his friends investigating propen- :
sities, our hero concluded at once that Wal.
ton Sprague had entered the passage way
and had most likely lost his way. Making
up his mind to be careiul. and guard his
retreat, Frank entered. lie had proceeded
but short distance when he fancicd he
heard steps. He was just upon the point
Of shouting, when he heard voices. and upon
turning saw that a number of men were
tra:nping behind him. At tho samo mo-
ment, as he won't feeling along, he disco
vered a lateral passage, and to escape Che
party coming in his rear, he turned aside.
Here he lay crouched until the party passed.
When their footsteps had died away he
came out again into the main passage, aud
considered what he should do lIc resolved
to follow 10 tho samo direction taken by the
men, determined to be near and assist his
friend, and in case of being unable to rescue
him, of least to die with him. Moving
along cautiously, he actually proceeded to
the entrance of tho robbcr den, und from a
selectcd hiding place surveyed them. lie
saw nothing of his friend, and concluded
that Walton Spraguc, after oil, had not
entered tho ruins. Good jud smcnt sug-
gestcd that he should beat retreat, but
when he gained the entrance leading into
tho passage, he found it guarded by the
Bodouins.
