Dick Wiuship'a Duel,
derrick Dodd," in The San Francisco
Post, tells the following

Derrick Dodd," in The San Francisco
Post, tells the following
That Goat Island, despite its size, is so
veritabe terra incoqnitd is mainly due to its
superpropinquity (this word can be uniointed
and carried in an ordinary trunk for use as
fishing rod or 20 hang picturcs) to the city.
1t is. therefore, one of what poor, quaint
Dick Winship used to call the "mus-
tache mysteries " of common life, Gaming
thereby that it is always the thing di-
rectly under their noses that people never
by any chance notice. Speaking of Win
ship recalls his famous duel with the
Frenchman at Marseilles. Dick was then
second lieutenant of our Scorpion, :"
stationed there at the time, and as usual
kept the whole fleet and half the town OH
nettles through his endless practical Jokes.
The slang expression for Frenchmen in
those days was " frog eaters" and the wife
of French captain of militia having pre-
scented her lord with twins, Dick had the
"nerve" TO tender the happy father, at
public banquet, stuffed group consisting
OF n big frog holding on its knees a couple
of smaller ones. OF course there was a
challenge, and when the captains seconds
appeared Winship as the challenged party,
gravely insisted on the duel being fought in
allowed to each man. This new addition
to the code made terrible stir, but as Dick
held firm the Frenchman was finally forced
to submit. On the appointed day, after
dinner, the principals were placed blind
folded and pistol in hand in room at
hotel from which every particle of light had
been excluded. At given signal on the
closed door the antagonists removed their
bandages, to find themselves in absolute
darkness, listening TO the beating of their
own hearts, and each afraid TO fire first, for
fear of thus exposing his location TO the
other. Dick quietly took off his shoes, and
feeling for the chimuey-in front of which
he had taken care to be placed-he crept up
the ilue, descended through trap-door in the
roof, slipped into n carriage, and rejoned
his dinner-party, which at once devoted it.
self to making night of it, in the highest
glee possible. The next morning they re-
turned to the hotel and opened the room,
which had been as silent as the grave all
night. Kneeling in his corner, every
muscle quivering with the unbearable sus-
pense, was the militia captain, his auburn
hair turned as white as snow by the horrors
of that interminable night.
