AT O'Clock the party was once more
under way and headed toward Port Costa.

head with a soft black hat which was
found on board. Later in the day Billy
was seen sizing up floating buoy through

eagerness to get lIfe-like picture of the
buoy, mist l6ing the folding hat for his
camera. Friends explained 10 Billy that
while the hat in its battered condition
might serve as the folding adjunct TO n

through ii.
After cruising around the Twin Broth
ers Lighthouse and getting good view of
the ship Otterburn. which was being
t0wed down from Port Costa by the Fear
less, the Caroline headed for Oakland
Creek and went up it past both draw
bridges t. the shallow water. This was
the most enjoyable part of the days trip
and as they glided up the placid waters of
the creek the camera enthusiasts secured
some magnificent views of several yachts,
old ships and the m osquito feet, which
was out in force. On the return things
were favorable, even, and there were
some splendid shadows thrown upon the
water.
Harry Hosmer and w. J. Street got a
dozen OF more exceptionally good views.
HoSmer did not give his elliptical finder a
test. for the reason that when he dug up a
parcel from his pocket which he thought
contained bis finder apparatus he disc0v-
cred that it was copy of the song
Sweet Marie" that he had purchased the
day before, and whie eh had become mixed
uD with the other bundle. He solaced
himself, however, on the return home by
varying the monoiOny of his snap-shOoting
~ singing snatches from the song.
The party arrived III this city again at
$50 O'clock. So thorough had been the
enjoyment that no one appeared to be in
the least fatigued. The outing taken al
together in the opinion OF all, was the most
successful one the club has had. The sue
cess with the views was good, and each
member secured from fifteen to thirty eX-
celleDt pictures. An incident which oc-
CURED going TO San Quentin provoked
considerable laughter.
TIE Caroline caught up with fishing
smack, In which were two Italian fisher
men. AS soon as the latter saw the bat
terry OF shining noZZes turned on them
they gestlculated wildly, and turning their
craft around moved eff as fast as the wind
would take them.
The CLUB members expressed warm
words in praise of Captain Leal and the
admirable manner in which he handled
affairs and looked after the comfort of his
guests.
Prominent among those on board were
the following: Henry Owens, Phil Maun-
der. Ii. Il. HOsmer, W. j. Street. William
GoOdreuD, William HOckstadter. Charles

and Messrs. Thierbach, Webster, Smith,
