as they supposed. After a long
and steady pull in the bay the
dim outlines of the shore appear
ed in sight, and soon they were
at the land below Belltown, but
none Of them recognized the
place. After brief consulta-
tion the boat put out in the bay
again, this time following the
direction indicated by the Sec
end speaker. After rowing for
what seemed almost an age the
discovery was made that they
were again on the mud flats
above town. The third man
was now allowed to act as pilot,
and again the boat started for
ward. About the time the three
were nearly exhausted from
rowing they again discovered
the identical spot below Bell
town they had left but a few
hours ago. This time they fol-
lowed along the shore until ia
miliar objects were in view, and
soon hey were restored to home
and friends, having caught one
salmon.
