the past thirty years, was mate on the
Seuorita, or Multnomah, about that time;
| know he was at ono time mate on the
Senorita, and, I think, once was on the
Multuomah with captain Dick. He,
Capt. Dick Stamera just a little bit il
you remember, which I know you must,
if not like myself, your memory has
become just little bit balky, (Johu
Silcott calls it balky, Charley can give
you Silcctt's defnition) have forgotten
It. 1 threatened and carry my threat
into execution to speak more about
Charley Frush. He came aboard at the
agency and acted as purser, aud when
he came his guitar came with him. He
played and sang that good old song
Squally or N Squally Mary. Tom
Beall sings it; Prof. Ross set it to music.
If you don't think I am giving you the
straight ct it you Just call into the Prot .
and get the string Of your weasel skin.
The Prof. is courteous man, not afraid
of any small animal wrapped up in a
weasel skin. No, sir, he will tickle him
though he may be branded U. s. A.
So you just give him that game just to
find out if I am person whose word can
be taken. Tom sings other tavorite
ballads. He sings the Morning Hymn
and Valley Town, but his choice songs
have all been set to music by Prof. Ross.
So all you have to do is to step into the
Palace and say how do you do gentlemen
but don't forget your hat-gnp tut your
pocket sack; bat no matter about your
sack, step in anyhow. Tom and the
Prof. will 60 you once around, deal you
hand anyhow. So don't be bashful
and Tom will throw you stave or tell
you a good story. He can do both.
Did you ever hear him tell about the old
man who attempted to steal what was his
own. Tom tells that the old man got
the worst Of it. Well, served him right,
he was bad old man. Another one Of
Toms stories is about the gal that was
so smart that she done four things At one
time. She astonished her mother but
the old lady got mad at her and throw. d
her slipper At her. More about Tom
when ! meet him At the old ferry CROSS
ing when I went to Orc Fino in the
boys long month Of August. But il was
not forty days long, no, sir, it lacked .
few days and I don't propose to crowd
the limit, though I am situated very
different to most people, I am crowded
for time, but have . whole world Of
money, to get. but great men have and
always will differ, hence my position.
Now, sir, here I an 10 June, I forget
the date, but yourself was ono Of tho
party on the Okanagen. I do rsmemb.r
my lady passengers. I never forget
them if they have given me the clean
shake. I don't blame them for that for
old age and early piety has done its work.
I am not. l wish I xaa, like Tom Beall's
man that suffered. He was cured, bat
that thing can't be done 10 my case.
No, Dir, medical aid cannot reach me, /
am irrecoverably gone, but let By cones
