mel at Tumwater, at about ii o'clock
at night, two men jumped out on either
side of the road and tried to stop the
horses. Mr.. SAsby dashed up the
horses, which were young and fresh,
and the two men were nearly run over
before they had a chance to follow out
their object.
The STANDARD acknowledges a
pleasant call from Capt. James McIn-
tire, of Port Townsend, one of the old
timer shippers on vessels plying be-
tween Puget Sound and foreign
ports" He was, way back in the
fifties, commander of the bark Ann
I Parru. a vessel which took cargoes of
lumber and piles from Olympia, about
the only place on the Sound that then
possessed resources for furnishing
cargoes. Capt. NJ. is now owner of
the ship Richard III carrying lumber
to Australia. He has retired from
active life on the sea, but occasionally
makes a trip, for recreation, as it were.
It is pleasure to meet with pioneers
who retain a lingering affection for the
old while fully approaching the rapid
strides that have been made since the
times when all were as one family in
opening the pathway to the present
prosperous era.
