IN SOCIETY.

A correspondent sends the following
account of recent yachting trip:
The Prince of Captains is what party
OF ladies and gentlemen dub Captain
Wright, of the trim yacht, Alert, of
Redondo. Last Wednesday the captain
gave the campers at Whites Landing,
Catalina, pleasure ride, and before its
ending it became somewhat novel and
interesting event to each one of the
pleasure seekers. When the captain
gave notice all was excitement and pre-
paration. Fifteen minutes later the
party of about thirty sailed out of the
harbor for the isthmus. 1t took only a
few hours for the feet-winged Alert to
arrive at the point of destination, and as
merry a party went on shore as one
would care to see. To add to the enjoy
ment the steam yacht, Hattie, from
Avalon, came down also. Everything
went merrily, and about 3 o'clock the
! captain called call aboard" and the
start for home was made. But alas
the changeableness of the winds is
equalled only by the inconsistency of
woman. Soon the sails hung motion
less and not a breath of
dlT 6tlIIcu tIC ldCC vi tnc
water. Darkness came on, and to add
to the enjoyment OF the occasion, quite
number became sea-sick. All were
nothing since morning. w. B. French,
of Downey. with two young ladies, put
off in small boat and resolved to find
land and camp an hour later.
Mr.. Wright took, Mrs. Wright, who
was suffering very much from sea-sick-
ness, and after rowing about ten miles,
reached camp. Upon inquiry he learned
that nothing had been seen of Mr..
French with the two young ladies. The
camp was now thoroughly alarmed, but
in about an hour faint cry was heard
and soon Prof. French arrived almost
exhausted from his long pull. 1 must
not tell secrets, Mr.. Editor, but l think
the last boat contained all the elements
OF a first class romance. Soon a boat
loaded with provisions was started out,
rowed by brave old fisherman by the
name of Swan. Not light
undertaking, with Rocky Point the
most dangerous spot around Catalina
ahead of you. But fortune now favored
the pleasure seekers, for breeze
springing up, the fisherman was met by
the yacht about three miles out, and
erybody that could sit up enjoyed the
lunch. A little after midnight anchor
was dropped in the harbor, and all on
board were glad to set foot on mother
earth again.
Among the party were: Mrs. j. c.
Wright, Mrs. E. G. Greening, Misses
Nelson, Hersham, Edna and Orlando
Moores, Lizzie Steel, Maizie Marion,
Mary Harris, Judie McKellar, Lou
Davis, Matte Cole and - McClain
and Messrs. French, Blythe, Wright
Bros, johnson, Nichols, Budlong and
Perciva1.
Mrs. J. T. Jones and son, of San Fran
cisco; Misses Annie Hughes, Ethel
Rees and Mrs. James Cratic, of Los An
geles, formed party that spent yester-
day on the beach at Santa Monica.
