fact that he had spent all Monday night
on board the cutter yacht American on the

johnson and E. L. Ruddy going along as
guests of the crew. There was o nice

to make the run over in four or five hours.
But the wind died out early in the night
and it was after sunrise when they sighted
Tacoma. All hands had been without a
wink of sleep. Mr.. Johnson had to catch
the o'clock train back from Tacoma and
the yacht moved so slowly that in order to
make it he had to get into the little row.

New Way to Navigate.

Captain John Brooks. who has been
working with Captain Bergman bringing
the steamer Mikado around from Lake
Washington to run her between Everett
and Snohomish, came in yesterday and
reported having had hard time trying to
bring the boat around. They got her
down as far as Squire's ranch, but Captain
Brooks thinks they will have to leave her
there until the water rises in the winter.
They have now been about five weeks
getting her as tar along as she is. In some
places the water was not more than six
inches deep, but the bottom was sandy
and che keel sunk right down in it, keep
ing the boat perfectly upright. They pull
her along as far as they can with block
and tackle and then all hands jump out
into the water and shovel sand until she
is loosened up SO they can move her
little further.
