exciting. as nearly every one on board had
friends present to bid them bon voyage and
good fortune II was not such . parting
a. one would imagine should take place

OF the party would some day return load
ed down with earthly riches. As tho
schooner backed out from tho slip some
one IN the crowd ashore proposed three
cheers for the gold hunters. and stimuli
faneouSly there rung out . hurrah that
shook the very foundation. The cheers
were returned by the voyagers with q will.
together with the traditional tiger" The
crowd remained on the dock until the YES
sci had disappeared from view behind West
point. and even then little knots Of men
remained on the dock discussing the pos
sibilIties Of the land Of promise.

was the handsome launch Villa, next TO
the AGuilla, the fastest of her kind on Pu-
get sound. This launch il being taken to

ferent points on the inlet that cannot be
reached by larger boats She was pur-
chased from II. NJ. Thornton, engineer Of
