An Unpleasant Experience.

Christmas day Mr. E. II. Webster, formerly resident of Nogales, but now at the metropolis of Sonora, with a party of friends from Hermosillo, who also formerly resided at NOgales, had very unpleasant experience on the bay at Guaymas.
 His IermOsillo friends, well known gentleman and his wife, had gone to Guaynas to partakc Of Christmas cheer with their host, and Mr. Webster had done himself proud in preparation for the event. A big, fourteen pound turkey had been secured, with all the necessary trimmings. and were being cooked for service in the highest style of the gastrOnomlc art. The dinner was to be served late in the afternoon, and to while away the intervening time sail on the bay was proposed about noon. With his usual alacrity Mr. Webster secured Mir. Marche- bouts yacht and the party set sail on their proposed pleasure excursion.
 In the morning there had been q stiff wind from the north, but at noon it had died away. Before embarking they were told that the wind would raise again later in the day, much higher, and would make the waters Of the bay dangerous for a small boat. But they needed not the admonitiOn and set sail They had hardly got out between the two islands ere the wind arose, as predicted. and blew with sur prising severity. They quickly saw that they missed it when they started for pleasure excursion. So the party had he boatmen land them at Senor Diego Rcdo's ''yaraderon dry dock and started them back to Guaymas to get row boat to take them home. fhe way in which the little pleasure boat was tossed and rocked by the waves Is described by Mir. Webster as having been something frightful. The little vessel seemed on her beams ends half the time, and frequently the party at the deck thought she would capSize. But against the wind she couldn't make her landing at the Hotel Cosm0p0lita and was driven further up the bay. Finally someone at the dock noticed her helpless condition and made it known that she was ont in the harbor with a pleasure party aboard. and a lady among them. For- 1 tunately Lelevier's tug had steam on and was at once sent to the assistance of the yacht. When towed to hef landing the anxious ones awaiting her l learned for the first time that MT. ] WebSter's pleasure party had been I landed at the dry dock, and the tug was sent to bring them iii.
 But in the meantime darkness had come down and the pleasure party stranded at the dry dock had reached conviction that they were elected to camp there for the night. With re- gretful visions of the turkey dinner | they knew was waiting them at home they contemplated preparations for passing the highland wished they had omitted the yachting from the pro- gramme. About time they had aban- doned all hope they were saluted by the welcome whistle of the tug They were very quickly aboard and headed for Guaymas Although the voyage was short and quickly over it was de cidedlyunpleasant, for the little party, seated in the stern, were drenched with the spray which flew clear over the staunch little vessel as she mounted the waves t was about 6:3C D. m. when they reached home.
