not in the boat. 1t is back there with the
bubbling and boiling waters of the Buried
River. He has a stout arm but it is not
at all concerned with his own safety or
his own comfort. It is about the terrified
girl at his side. She has been terrified,
timid, trembling in a strangely unnatural
way for one born and bred to the sea and
of a race of seamen. What can be the
matter with her? She leans close to the
mans side; is pale, silent as usual unac-
countably sad.
Farla's lips are set, as if never again to
be relaxed. She has seen all. She has
imagined ten thousand times more than
all that has been; or ever can be.
The father has seen that his silent little
girl suffers and is silent and unhappy,
But now the swift and desperate dash
is over. Shot of the Gate, as if shot
out of a gun; they at last take a long
breath and drive on in a straight line and
tranquil sea to the steep and s~tupendous
islands of upheaved rock so steep and so
s~tupendous that they take the wind from
the yellow sail.
But in this haste to get through the
Gate to the open sea we have forgotten
to give the simple reason for this food
and foam and rush Of waters at full turn
of the tide. It is this: the narrow Gate
is wide enough to admit a tremendous
inflow from the sea at flood tide, and so
the Bay of San Francisco fills well from
the sea. But it must be borne in mind
that one of the great rivers of the CONT
nent is all the time pouring into the bay
also. The Sacramento river once flowed
from very far to the north. It drew its
strength from the SHOWS of Canada. Then
the Sierras were broken through and the
great river was cut In twain at what is
now the farther Oregon and found ex-
preston to the Pacific Ocean at that point.
The other end of the great Sacramento
river is now called the Columbia river.
But to get back to San Francisco Bay
with this great river, which drains the
Sierras and nearly all of California to say
nothing of the sunken rivers of Nevada,
with this river pouring in at n side and
the sea pouring in at the same time from
the other, you observe at once that the
Golden Gate is more than doubly filled
when the tide sets seaward. Add acrack-
ing wind to this and you can see what a
divinely audacious wrestle a real man
may have here with the noblest elements
Of nature.
John Gray took in long breath after
this dash; and as the boat began to round
in under the shadow Of the overhanging
rocks his arm relaxed which had sup
ported the girl at his side. And all this
without his hardly knowing what was
done.
Not so with Farla. She took in no
long breath or any sense of rest. She
was on fire. She set foot firmly on the
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-02-12

and they rested on the waters that leaped
and leaped against the swift gliding little
vessel.
What q curious mixture of waters =
cried Gray, suddenly. His artists eye
had detected colors and the confusion of
colors which ordinary men would not
at once observe.
Yes" said Silvia, that is another
queer thing. Here is yellow water and
white water, black water and green all
mixed up together; only they don't seem,
to mix at all"
This contradictory speech, absurd IS
it may read, was as plain and direct a
statement of a curious fact as could have
been made in so brief an observation.
The writer recalls a singular and indeed
a similar condition of things encountered
while descending the Amazon river many
years ago. There, from the south bank,
about midway from the Andes to the
ocean, a broad, black river rolled its dark,
smooth waters into the light, white, airy
Amazon. So for a whole day, if re-
collection is not treacherous, the waters
of the>two mingling streams refused to
mingle. Ten, twenty, forty, fifty miles
below we still sailed, now and then, over
and through broad, black and oily islands
or solid bodies of water that had not yet
blended with the bright waters of the
Amazon. Ages hence, when we are all
forgotten dust, the oil wells of the world
will be on the headwaters of that smooth,
silent and dark river of unsociable deeps.

II have asked father for almost the
fortieth time, and now he, says you may
go with US this morning to the Islands.
Take the steep trail down to the Straits.
Our ssilboat is there. Be quick or we
may have to leave you"
The great. wide mouthed creature
threw himself back on his supple launches,
reared his proud, white head in the air
and then plunged OF and on, roaring over
the rocks.
It was the one thing the artist desired.
Here now at last he was to sail through
the dangerous Straits of Carquinas at the
side of a man who ought to know their
every secret.
Arriving at the rendezvous just In time
to take his seat in the boat he had a good
opportunity, after salutations and intro
auctions, brief and simple as possible, to
contemplate the form and stature of the
man who by his strength and daring had
long been the terror of all wrongdoers in
his region.
This giant in strength was a giant in
size as we'll. Yet so exclusive and re-
served was his life that the artist, so far
from ever having been at his house had
never before looked upon his face. He
had a full heavy beard; was almost a per-
feet blonde, this Portuguese from the
Azores, this islander who still kept his
home in some sort in the sea; choosing
islands even more desolate and craggy
than the most steep and stony of the
Azores, where he was born and bred.
His hands were simply huge, and as he
Embossed and threw off the heavy cable
rope from the Prov of his boat the artist
could not help thinking of the man who
had been found up on the top of the crags
above them "with his back broken and
his neck twisted nearly off"
Once fairly from land the silent man
began in a quiet way and in a voice that
was almost melodious:
"You have heard of my trouble about
the land; you live in the cabin where
men came and tried to drive me out"
The artist fastened to say that he
had heard nothing to his disparagement.
81 am sorry very sorry it all happened.
But l had retreated from the inundation
of people to the mountain top. There
was no going further with my family
either they or I had to quit"
"And they qulti" said Farla with the
fierce look and the firm set lips noted be-
fore.
GAS for those other matters, don't be-
lieve them. / don't go about the world
breaking peoples backs across my knee.
Nothing can be laid to my door, nothing
can be proved but that one trouble at the
cabin"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-02-12

John Gray had been glad, very glad, if
surance that nothing more than the kill
ing of the three men could be proved set
his teeth on edge and made him miserable.
He was now certain that his host for the
day, and for many days, should a storm
set in, was really quite in the habit of
breaking the backs of people across his
knee, if people interfered with him GER
tain of it because he took such ~unneces-
sary pains to deny it.
However, the strong and steady hand
at the helm would hardly be raised against
him, he thought, and as they shot sharply
down the Straits the ill-omened reflections
were shaken off. The yellow sail filed
with the favoring breeze. Farla held
the sail rope. Farla held the winds, their
lives, as it were, inner own two hands.
These Portuguese sailors have here the
same yellow sails that dot the waters of
Venice. They are made yellow with a
mixture of oil and beeswax. The oil and
beeswax makes them tough and enduring.
Sometimes the Bay of San Francisco is
yellow, as a California field is yellow, with
spots and dots a flower field of water;
great floating California poppies!
Farla and her father manned this huge
yellow flower of the proud sunllt Bay of
San Francisco. This left two idlers.
What more natural than that they should
sit side by side? 1t wa not only natural
but almost absolutely necessary. Yetthe
dark brows of n there grew darker
still and steadily grew darker as the boat
shot on.
Suddenly there was a lurch that almost
threw John Gray and Sanello on their
faces. Instinctively his arm fell about
her and restored her firmly to his side.
And the dark brows were dark as muffled
thunder clouds.
What could have done that? asked
Gray.
SIT was all my fault" answered Silvia
afterSa moments pause, to give Farla time
to explain, which she sullenly declined.
"It was like striking a rock" said
Gray.
mo; it was not a rock; something
worse than a rock though when the tide
is low. But with this full tide / thought
l could run straight over it; over it now
though"
"What is it7"
"Dont know; eddy / reckon any
how it has been there always; and we
keep close to the shore when the tide is
low ~hereabouts. For the water boils and
boils there as if a buried river was boiling
up"
John Gray caught his breath at mention
Of a buried river and must have changed
color for he saw that both Farla and her
father were looking him hard and curious
~ in the face.
His eyes fell down to avoid confusion

CHAPTER VII.
OUT THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE.

oUT THROUGH HI GoLDE GAIT
The dash through the Golden Gate, if
you care to go out with the turn of the
tide, as did our little party that morning,
is one Of the most exciting, inspiring
not to say desperate if a gale goes out
with you-in all this world.
The reason is not far to reach, For
you must know that the Gate is very mar
row. 1t is, in fact, a fume hewn out of
the granite. It is something more than a
fume; it is a mighty mill toll, with the
tide running out. Add a gale to thisl

mean a stranger ike you. He wanted to
cut cord wood for father, to sell in Ash
land, you know. Well, as father had TO
go on the Islands and could not come
home at that season, because the ocean Is
stormy, he let him stay. He went over
yonder, the other side of this arroyo and
above the steep crag that hangs over the
Straits of Carquinas, and there built q
cabin. And what do you think2'
ct don't know, Farla, what to think"
Why, he had lawyers and lots Of ras-
Gals behind him and they fled-that's
what they call it. / don't know what
it is, but he fled fled on the landl
jumped It'll"
"Well, / do hope he has not got it"
"He's got just about six feet of it his
grave is down there on the crag. The
cabin is empty"
The girl had subdued the pain in her
hand; but she kept on biting at her fingers
and looking down at them as she said, or
rather Missed between her beautiful teeth,
and as if talking to herself now, They
found him-found him, a few days after
father got back home from the Islands;
lying in the cabin dead. His back was
broken, and his neck was twisted nearly
off"
The dark brows canopied her face. Her
full lips lost their fervor and retreated to
her teeth, thin and bloodless; and she
caught again at the thistle head and tore
her hand once more without knowing or
caring.
The man was almost frightened. He
feared this girl and was glad she suddenly
turned away and disappeared in the dense
redwood; biting again at the bleeding
fingers as she passed.

CHAPTER VIII.
AFLoAT ON SAN FRANCISCO BA'

AFLOAT ON SAN FRANCISCO BAY.
The full and flooding ocean ratified
against the granite gateway on either side
as the yellow sail, with its three silent
voyagers, swept on up the bay under the
gloomy guns Of the fortress. The swift
yellow sail was accompanied by a mighty
snow-white feet of sea-clouds that came
in through the great Golden Gate like
monstrous, wide-winged sea-birds seek
ing shelter for the night.
How nightly heaved the swelling,
surging bosom of the great ray under
theml The falling sun had been suddenly
caught on the sharp horizon, between sky
and sea; and awful i~re-hashes, like
flashes from molten iron of some mighty
forge flashed for an instant forth and the
feet of snow-white clouds was a sea of
gold and fire.

Only a moment at the extreme end Of
the great narrow wharf that thrusts its
long commercial finger far into the bay;
a rattle of tackle and iron hook the

the yellow sail is leaning to it's work
under a full wind with the rocky walls
of Carquinas Straits dimly visible in the
light of the dying sun above the cleaying
and climbing PROV.
Sanello? Relic?
The massive, broad-shouldered man at
the helm, with a voice, and maybe q
nature, like that of a lion, had suddenly
broken silence. He seemed to have been
almost alarmed at the sound of his own
voice and tried to modulate it by letting
it fall and using the little pet diminntive
by which he had called his child in her
babyhood,
HRello? Z"
HWell, father dearg"
What could be the matter with
Farla2':
The strong man sighed deeply, caught
in his breath and expelled it with such
tremendous force that he might have been
named as Of kin with the surging ele-
ments about him. 1t seemed to have been
the first real breath he had taken since he
saw his frst-born lined against the
gold and fire of the dying sun on that
awful and inaccessible eminence IN the
sea.
Sanello was slow to answer; not that
she really knew the cause Of her sisters
