refused TO make the trip, saying that
II would be impossible to do 1t safely

Young Rice stepped eagerly forward
and requested to be allowed to make the
trip. He had never seen a balloon be-
fore, and, OF course, knew nothing of the
manner of handling 1t, but rather than
disappolnt the assembled multitude he
was allowed to make the ascent. He

Quarantine at 9.15 o'clock this morning.
The body was floating slowly down
with the ebb tide. The boys quickly
manned small boat and towed tho
body into the quarantine basin.
The body appears to be that of a clean
shaven man about twenty-five years old,
dressed in brown pants and vest, white
shirt and congress CATERS, apparently
new. Had no coat. Hands tightly
clasped across his chest. 1t was appar-
emily about four days in the water. No
papers or valuables were found on the
body.
Coroner Schaefer, of Stapleton, re-
moved it to the Morgue. wher 1t awaits
Identification.
1t is thought that this body is that
of one of the party capsized in Gowanus
Bay on Sunday morning. as II would be
practically impossible for bodies from
the Nicol to float so far up the bay in
so short a time.
Several policemen from the Fourth
avenue station in Brooklyn were still at
work this morning searching for the two
remaining bodies of the five persons
drowned by the capsizing of a catboat
off Bay Ridge Sunday. The two remain-
ing bodies are those of Charles Nelson
the skipper of the party and his little
son.

feeling; he had only q grim contentment in
the wiped-out, inefficient life, and contempt
for the limp and helpless body. He suddenly
recalled the callousness as boy, when face
TO face with the victims of the Indian mas
sacre, his sense of fastidious superciiousness
in the discovery of the body Of Susys mother
surely it was the cold blood of his father in
nuenctng him ever thus. What had he to do
with affection, with domestic happiness, with
the ordinary ambition of mans life, whose
blood was frozen at the source!
Yet even with this very thought came once
moro the old inconsistent tenderness he had as
boy layished upon the almost unknown and
fugitive father who had forsaken his childish
companionship, and remembered him only by
secret gifts. He remembered how he had
worshiped him even while the pious padres
at San Jose were endeayoring to eliminate
this terrible poison from his blood and COM
bat his hereditary instinct in his conflicts with
his schoolfellows. And it was part of this
inconsistency that, riding away from the
scene OF his first bloodshed, his eyes were
dimmed with moisture, not for the victim,
but for the one being whom he believed had
impelled him to the act.
This, and more was in his mind during his
long ride to Fair Plains, his journey by coach
to Embascadero. his midnight passage across
the dark waters of the bay, and his re-en-
trance to San Francisco-but what should be
his future was still unsettled.
AS he wound around the crest of Russian
Hill and looked down again upon the aWak-
ened city, he was startled to sea that it was
futtering and streaming with bunting. From
every public building and hotel. from the
roofs of private houses, and even the windows
of lonely dwellings, tapped and waved the
striped and starry banner. The steady breath
of The sea carried it out from masts and yards
of ships at their wharves the battle
ments of the forts at Alcatraz and Yerba
Buena He remembered that the ferrymen
had told him that news from Fort Sumter
had swept the city with reyulson of patri-
otto sentiment, and that there was no doubt
that the State WAS saved to the Union. He
looked down upon it with haggard and be-
wildered eyes. and then strange gasp and
fulness of the throat. For afar a solitary
bugle had blown-the "reveille' at Fort Alca-
traZ!
