AVALON
Gains Are the Hoodoo of the Yacht La
Paloma

AVALON, July S.-The yacht La Paloma,
which started on a trip around the island
three days ago, returned yesterday. For
some reason whenever she goes out she
is nearly sure to be becalmed. The last
trip was no different than the rest, for she
lay out at the east end of the island for a
whole day and was finally towed in by the
Narod. On the way down the yacht stopped
at the isthmus while those on board went
hunting for goats and with good success.
Between them the gentlemen killed eleven
Of the climbers. Those on board were A.
w. Goodfellow, A. S. Goodfellow, Hugh
Goodfellow and E. L. Doran.

Harry Elms in the forenoon yesterday and
returned with one yellowtail and six bara-
cuda, two rock bass and two albacors, one

ty-two minutes of good, hard work to bring

Roy Wheeler of Pasadena was out with
Jim Gardener and brought back one yell
lowtail and number of barracuda. Chap

noon.
