ROSE OF
THE VALLEY "
IS MISSING
Hattie Waltham Disappears
From Her Home at
CoVelo.
FEARS FOR HER LIFE
Scores of Men Searching the Noun
tains and Placing Beacon
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COVEIO July 11.-Excitement due
to the mysterious disappearance of
Hattie Waltham is at high tension here
tonight Scores of horsemen and
searching parties afoot are securing
the ranges, canyons and mountain
sides for a trace of the missing girl.
Panthers, bears and mountain lions
abound in the neighboring thickets,
and grave fears are entertained for her
safety
Miss Waltham, who has been known
as the Rose of Round Valley" is the
beautiful stepdaughter of Sylvester
Palmer, wealthy stockraiser Of the
section. She is a fair flower of the
mountains, much loved by the people
of Round Valley. She was last seen at
o'clock last night, after which hour
no trace of her has been found The
young woman of late had showed indi-
cations of depressed spirits and has
suffered greatly from fits OF melan-
choly. Her home life was surrounded
by every comfort, and no theory can be
advanced by her stepfather, Sylvester
Palmer, as a probable cause for her
disappearance. Mrs. Palmer says Miss
Hattie was about the house as usual
yesterday afternoon, and at o'clock
she was noticed to take a book from
the library, step out into the rear yard
and seat herself under the shade of
tree. She has frequently strolled afar
into the heavy timber and spent the
day rambling about, but always re-
turned in the early evening.
Miss Hattie is only Is years of age,
bright and accomplished and thorough
ly domestic in her habits. That there
is no man in the case" is the general
belief Parents and neighbors assert
positively that Miss Hattie is innocent
of anv contemplated elopement or
wrongdoing.
The searching parties are being re
Enforced hourly The mountains and
side hills tonight are brightly illumi-
mated by. bonfres and lanterns in the
! faint hope that they might act as bea-
con lights for the girl should she have
wandered off and become lost. One of
the searchers, Sam Marks of San Fran
cisco found in dusty track foot
print of a person that had lost one snoe.
Thinking that the strain of beWilder-
ment. had probably dethroned the poor
| girls reason, he felt that he had made
an important discovery. The footprints
were followed along the trail into a
dark tirnbered canyon and were lost.
Marks frequently halloed and waited
for an answer. hearing only the echo
of his own voice. AS he approached
a rocky divide in the canyon he was
| startled by a roar from huge pan
ther, which he quickly dispatched with
his rifle. He became fearful that this
/ beast had perhaps devoured the girl,
but, having found the panther's den
and kittens close by it, he was more
hopeful for her safety.
Men of every calling are mustered
into the search, and although un-
confirmed rumors come in from the
mountains of the finding Of the girl,
! ropa of thar, have proVed authentic.

and take another pull as the turn came
around.
Both men were emaciated, but not as
much as one would expect from what
they had gone through. They were
dressed in brown overalls and each had
a sack around his shoulders. Costa
lost his hat in the fight with the sea
lion and was wearing one that he had
manufactured out of a piece OF canvas
Martin wore a black hat which showed
traces of frequent contact with the
rocks. Both wore climbing slippers
made of canvas and rope, and while
Martin showed a bountiful six weeks
crop cf whiskers, Costa looked as
though he had been shaved a couple Of
days ago.

answer to a question. I'VE have used
eggs as meat and drink so long that
the sight Of one almost nauseates me
and I will never be able to look at
murre again without disgust. We have
had several fights with the sea lions,
and on Saturday, Sunday and Monday
we were drenched again and again with
the driving spray. We live in a hole
in the rock, but it is desperately cold

NO, we won't go back with you,

bring us in, because it is just like the
paper to help any one in distress. But
you see the Ma Belle will be here as
soon as the swell goes down and that
will be tomorrow, L think, and we are
bound to get these eggs to market. We
have been out here a mighty long time
and suffered considerable getting these
things gathered, and if we go away
now all our time and labor will be

the Ma Belle, Spear stayed six days,
trying to make a landing, and the next
time he stayed a week. / never saw
such a run of bad weather and we got
the full benefit of it.
Just about this time the sliff Vigi-
liant began to leak considerably and the
balier had to be used freely Mate Ols-
son therefore rowed back to the Re-
lance and got the provisions Captain
Brokaw had fixed up. These were
taken back to the rock and safely got
ashore, after which no time was wasted
in getting the Vigilant back aboard the
tug. It was wet, disagreeable job,
but, then, what was it compared with
the weeks Martin and Costa have gone
without a dry stitch 10 their backs and
with nothing to eat or drink but Far

SOUTHAMPTON, July 15.-The rea-
son the Shamrock did not sail yester-
day, after having made all preparations
to do so, as described in yesterdays s
dispatch, was merely a desire not to
wet her new mainsail. The mechanics
whom I described as coming aboard
and going below, as well as their SUBJ
sequent tapping-were there to make
necessary preparations for girders
which will be placed inside the yacht
for the voyage.
This morning, however, at 10 o'clock
the Shamrock had her jib and trysail
set and was ready and waiting for Sir
Thomas Upton. The moment he board
ed her her anchor was weighed and she
went very gently down Southampton
water, followed by the Satanita, under
short sail. In front of Netley Hospital
the Shamrock went about, head to
wind, and this time her great mainsail
was set without any difficulty. This
operation was performed right under
the guardship Australia, whose officers
and men got a fine view of the yacht.
There was not wind enough to blow out
the Royal Ulster Clubs pennant, which
was hauled at her peak. She scarcely
moved Then for the first time the
jackyards topsail was set, as pretty a
piece of canvas as one would want to
see. The wind failing, a tug took the
yacht in tow as far as BrambleS,
where wind of a wholesale order was
speedily forthcoming from the north
west.
To begin with on this the Shamrock
started on a westerly course in fine
style. She was close hauled and jibed
around, fetching Cowes Road on the
port tack She went about and re-
turned on the starboard tack. Then she
hove to and took aboard Ratsey, her
sailmaker. Fife was there already. The
wind had now shifted a point to due
west and had more power in it. This
gave the challenger dead beat toward
Needles in a choppy sea-just what she
wanted. 1t thoroughly blew out the
sails.
In this beating the Shamrock showed
palpably the great depth of her keel.
Her capacity to windward is un-
doubted. On that point to-day she
showed herself a clinker, and stiff
boat In close hauled tacking she will
be difficult to beat. Having sailed over
Queens course, the Shamrock routed
west full hour, then back to Cowes.
The scene there was a remarkable
one Aged people who had never
showed themselves for years turned out
on crutches and in chairs. There was
an interested and critical crowd on the
yachts off the Squadron and on the
Terrace There was q similar scene
when she got to Ryde, where the ia
nous clubhouse was unusually crowd
ed The Shamrock now had her jib
topsail set, but neither spinnaker or
balloon foresaiI. both of which she
might have carried.
Various opinions were expressed. es-
