Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1881-07-15

through the pines after midnight, but
, in spite of the music of the storm all
, slept serenely until about 2 O'Clock,
} when series of prolonged screams rose
from the adjoining tent where the ladies
!; were. A moment later the tent where
the males were sleeping broke from its
fastenings, and with gust Of wind
went skipping down the ravine along
with its mate and dropped in the dark
ness and chapparal. A few moments
later, four men, somewhat scantily
dressed, gave chase to the tents. Those
who have never chased flying tent in
the dark over brush, old sticks and
sharp pine cones, cannot be made to
realize the situation by mere descrip-
ton. There are many things more
congenial to people without pants or
shoes. The ladies' wearing apparel
was also swept away by the same wind,
which seemed to blow good to nobody,
and only recovered after an infinite
deal of trouble. By 8 o'clock the tents
were in place again and everything
snug. During these scenes of horror
and confusion the Celestial was snoring
in his cabin and dreaming of being a
Chinese Mandarin. Next year when
the lake is dragged with graphing
iron this Chinaman will be found with
sixty pound rock tied to him, or the
writer mistakes the men he left behintl.
SUNRISE FROM TALLAC.
To appreciate the grandeur of a sum
rise as seen from the summit of Mt.
Ta!lac one must be at the top of the
mountain in person. No description of
this marvellous panorama of clouds torn
asunder by the suns rays, or the many |
lakes cleaning with a thousand hues,
or the forests undulating in the wind |
like field of summer grain, can give |
any idea of the scene which lies beneath |
one standing $4,000 feet above the sea
level The party rose at in the morn
ing to climb the mount. The start was
made from the springs from whence
the mountain rises in gentle slope.
We walked and walked and rested and
walked again. When we got to the top
of the mountain and looked over the
other side there was old Sol up two
hours high. So we lost the sight en-
tirely and not caring to wait for set,
slid down to the campas quickly as pos
sible and at breakfast described the
scene to those who had sense enough to
remain at home.
