| The man is thought knave or fool,
Or bigot plotting crime,

For him the hemlock shall disul,

And live there now such men as these,
With thoughts like the great of old?

And left their thoughts untold;
And many live and are ranked as mad,

For sending their bright, far-seeing soul.

Great Numbers Of Skeletons Mark

Gibraltar Farmer.

Gibraltar Farmer.
In the sight OF this harbor is Cam
ano island, on the north end OF which
stands the village of Utsalady and the
large sawmill of the Puget Mill Co.
At the south end Of that island q
terrible catastrophe occurred the year
that the rush took place to the Frazer
river mines, thirty-two years ago.
There were camped on the beach at
the south end 1000 Skagit Indians.
That was their favorite camping
ground, on account of the great abund-
ance of game and fish and the inn
mense crop of berries (Utsalady means
lots of berries"), and for the addi-
tional reasons that the timbered bluff
that rose several hundred feet above
the camp, sheltered them from the
north winds; the exposure lay fair to
the genial rays of the sun; beautiful
springs of clear cold water broke out
of the bluff, and all the surroundings
were choice according to the tastes of
the aborigines. The springs of water
undermined the foundations of the
bluff, and one lovely spring morning
in 1858, without warning and with the
suddenness of an avalanche, millions
OF tons of earth, rocks and giant forest
trees slid down and buried the village
and killed every soul. AS the steam
ers pass there now on the various
routes, the passengers are pointed to q
subordinate bluff that stands near the
water; this bluff covers an area of ten
acres, the former sight of the village.
If the reader should take a small boat
and land there, he will find q great
number of skeletons that have become
exposed by the washing OF the waves
against the shore. We arc not aware
that this singular catastrophe has ever
been recorded in the history OF this
State, and with view to attracting
the attention of the historian we
chronicle the event here. The en-.
tombing of a thousand living men,
women and children by such means,
has but seldom occurred, and the
event deserves place alongside of the
entombing of the living inhabitants oil
Pompeii and Herculaneum.
