ened the beach from the pavilion to the
bath house.
In the afternoon the little steamer
Pelican ran up to the wharf and loaded

trolling for barracuda on the great deep.
A six-mile run was made oceanward,
during which the passengers had some
very exciting sport hauling in their
finny victims. The homeward run was
made just in time to catch the last train
for Los Angeles.
The sight-seers spread out along the
beach, enjoying the delicious coolnesH

in the numerous booths.

early hour, and the happy shouts of the
bathers were heard all day. Old men
and maidens, boys, girls, ladies', gentle
men, dons and sefloras, 'meinheers"
and 'frauleins," padded, tumbled,
leaped and swan in the salt water to
their hearts content.
The hotels, restaurants and lemonade
stands did thriving business.
