On October /. 1882, when at the height of
what seemed very prosperous career,
Daunet was married TO Clotilde Garraul, a
French Canadian. Clotilde had made one
matrimonial adventure already. although
Daunet did Tot know it; but she had
been divorced. Everything went on pretty
well with the couple until 1884, when
business troubles accumulated, and then
there were quarrels in the Daunet
family. In May these troubles eliminated

moreover, possessed Of great courage aud

his life in trip through Death Valley
when others died, but qualities which failed
him, nevertheless, ct a critical period later
on.
In the year 1880 Dannet was In the mining
camp of Panimini, on the west side OF the
Panimint range and but a few miles In a
direct line from the most depressed portion
of Death Valley. Finding no prospect
OF striking lead there that would make
him rich, he Joined a party Of other
adventurous spirits bound on a pros
pectiDg trip into the deserts OF Ari-
iona. The party numbered seven men in
all, and after buying supplies and getting
pack animals together they started away,
although 1t was in midsummer, by an UNI
familiar trail that the next day led them
into Death Valley. AS they went down the
canyon they knew very well that IL was
Death Valley that lay before them, but they
were In the prime OF life and health and
secuted the idea that they could not pass its
narrow breadth. Nevertheless, as its arid
atmosphere sapped the moisture from their

most before they realized their condition
their water was gone, they had no knowl-
edge of the location OF the springs there,
and half wild through their sufferings they
cut the Threats Of their pack animals and
drank the blood as tigers might have done.
Then Daunet and another, the strongest
and most resolute men In the party, started
oil for help, and after shocking hardships
reached an Indian camp where water was
abundant. The Indians at once returned to
help those left behind, but found only two
of them living; the other three had per-

They Set Out on Sailing Spree and Their Boat

Rescued by Tug.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon Captain Hodgson Of the Fort Point
Life-saving Station was notified by the
keeper that sail-boat awkwardly managed
was in trouble about three-Quarters OF q
mile from the station.
There was tremendous ebb tide running
at the time. while the wind blew in squalls
right In from the Golden Gate, raising a
nasty choppy sea- 1t was not at all the sort
of day for even an experienced boatman to
be out, and the life-saying crew saw that
they would be needed in very few
minutes.
The whaleboat was run out with COM
mendable speed, but before they could reach
the boat Il had capsized and the occupants
were struggling in the water. Two Of them,

Angiolini Costello were rescued. but their

CONFLICTING STORIES.
There Is considerable discrepancy be-
tween the stories tod about the affair,
which will probably be cleared up when the
bodies of the drowned men are recovered
and an inquest Is held.
Captain Hodgson stated TO reporter that
the whaleboat picked off the men in the
first instance and that the yacht Frolic

TEMPTATION NO EXCUSE.
DR.. IA. N. Stebbins Holds That 1t Is an
Occasion and Not Power.


Rev. DR.. Stebbins in his sermon last even
ing remarked that temptation is often
offered as an excuse for evil. But, he said,
temptation is not a power: 1t is only an oc-
casion. Ii temptation can justify sin spirit
uality means nothing. Circumstances ought
to be considered, but ought not to justify
any mans offerses. Our tenderness for
those who have yielded to temptation should
spring only from our sense of justice and
cur humility.
An undue importance. he said, was at
tached to experience as guide to a mans
conduct in life. The maxim, Honesty is
the best policy" could only have been de-
rived from experience, and was the thought
OF man who had first been dishonest and
who really remained knave at heart,
while his experience taught him that hon
esty was only question of policy Expe-
rlence, however, was a mighty helper, but
1t cannot supply a man with moving power.
1t can only direct il.
He is nearest to God who needs the least
Of 1t. After all, our greatest gain from ex-
psrience Is to learn how much we might
have learned without it had we followed
the divine promptings in our hearts.
