dren put to bed. I'VE went cautiously,
for the Tres Maries were somewhere
around and We did not know just
where. As night fell the fog which
had been hanging rel us like o veil
became a wall rising on every side.
We slowed down still more in fear Of
those terrible islands. Such darkness

was the PHOSPHORUS writhing like
snakes. The paddles, which alone
broke the palpable stiffness, fell upon
these serpents and broke them, but the
next second they we're born again, to
60 on twisting and coiling amid the
horrible glassiness of that water. Sud-
denly there was an unearthiy sound.
First there was afury Of rushing wings,
then q clamor Of voices. The sound
came from aloft. The fog seemed to
deepen. Even the great yards were
invisible. The uncanny voices sweiled
into q storm of disputations. We tried
in vain to understand them. They
seemed to be speaking o language none
Of us knew. Some one suggested pi-
rates, but pirates do not hover in the
rigging. It vas more like spirits,
chattering there in uncanny familiarity.
Certainly the phosphorescent serpents
writhed faster, the darkness grew
denser, the air nor stagnant. No one
could sleep with those voices DINING
above there. We were isolated from
the world, drifting on an enchanted
ocean, with mysterious voices ~chorusing
above us and tho dawn dragging as it
never did before.
AT last it came. And, like an evil
bat, the mystery fed before it. Up
there on the spars, emblazoning them
with their plhmage, sat thousands of
parrots chattering like maniacs. We
laughed, of conrse. 1t is easy to laugh

left us the blue water and the bluer

The best indication that there is
steady increase Of prosperity in
Yuma lies in the facts that building
is constantly going GA and the
volume q business done by mer-
chants and traders Of all kinds is
steadily Oh the increase, and this III
the face Of the withdrawal of q
heavy monthly supply of money
from Territorial prison sources
owing to the existence Of the present
political middle. All our mer-
chants are adding to their list Of
customers, and the drain of custom
from agricultural sources is mark
5dly growing larger The mercan-
tile establishments Of John Gan
dolfc, D. Calisher, Custodio RAJ
mirez, Hoo Boxin, and, in fact, all
the stores, large and small, are ad-
ding to their stock. Althee Lorette
has Just finished a magnificent store
on the site of the old house of David
Neahr, and has heavily stocked it
with general merchandise. A num-
Ter of private residences are being
erected, and there is a growing de-
nIand for real estate. The recent
establishment Of the South CHA,
Mohawk, Farmers and other large
canals OH perfect financial basis,
and the rapid development of agri-
cultural wealth and industry con-
sequent thereon will, this coming
year add largely to the growth of
Yuma in increased resources Of both
supply and demand. The develop
ment of the county will, of course,
be greater in ratio of growth, and it
depends largely upon the policy of
our merchants in matter of whole
sale dealing how much the county
at large will aid in advancing the
prosperity Of the town.
