them to San Francisco, where they arrived
about o'clock on Sunday morning. The
little fellows did not know how to return
home except by the way they came, and
again ventured on the deep. This time they
were more fortunate, for the tide carried
them almost directly to Alameda, where
they arrived on sunday at noon. Their
parents were almost distracted over their
disappearance, and were up all Saturday
night looking for them. 1t was bitterly cold
that night, and the boys suffered consid-
