Mr.. Editor: / like your suggestion
that Worthington lend in this opin-
ions as to the best way to build up
and improve our town. It occurred to
me that if every citizen who has the
good of the place at heart would cor
respond with some friend who is a
manufacture of something such as
brooms,. candy or the like and try to
induce them TO locate here great
deal might be accomplished. If this
thought is worth your while to pub

The San Francisco call., 1896-07-26

The ark on top of Mount Ararat could
not have presented a much stranger sight
than does Prophet Smith s craft as she lies
in lonely state on spit near the mouth of
Seal Greek. her stem in the mud and her
bow buried deep in the sand.
Originally she was a solidly built bay
freighter but was driven out of the trade
by the steamers that now ply the inland
waters after she had lost her mast in a
collision. Now she presented as battered
and forIorn look as any old hulk in Rot
ten Row, and the greatest wonder is that
she floats at all.
When she passed into the possession of
her present owner he concluded that
without mast she would hardly pass for
ship, SO he had huge ladder full fifty
feet long hoisted amidship and stayed by
single rope from the bow and one from
each side. TO prevent it from falling stern
ward another ladder braces 1t, and from
this Prophet Smith tells of the things
that are to come.
During his travels at the mercy of the
wind and tide Smith has accumulated a
queer lot of small boats that cumber his
deck Or cluster about the stern, and on the
top of the cabin rests the stern half of a
ships boat covered with. odd pieces of
greasy canvas, while against one bulwark
stands battered skiff that no human inge-
nuity could ever repair. Astern, floating
forlornly at the end of a ragged painter, is
a boat that looks as though she might
once have served as tender to a Chinese
Junk.
Odds and ends of lumber and empty
fruitboxes litter the deck and dusty hold
in which no cargo has fioated for many
wears. Even his anchors are patched
with scraps of iron bound on with wire
and rope and the chain cables are rust
| eaten and fragile looking.
The Southern Pacific with her strange
rig and stranger crew foated into the
creek one bright June morning, no one
knew whence, and Prophet Smith called
