few of the forbidden enjoyments that

hundred have come within an ace of
going on the rock and had to slip
their anchors in order to get clear. The
first vessel that l remember being
wrecked on Arch rock" continued Cap
tain Boyd, was the pilot-boat Sea
Witch. That was in 1855. All the
pilots had boarded Off and the schoon-
er was coming in in charge of the boat
keeper. There was dense fog and
the boatkeeper mistook Arch rock for
z sloop under sail and getting his
course accordingly made the mistake
Of his life. All hands We're saved, but
the Sea Witch was total loss.
1.-The next wreck was that of the
clipper ship Flying Dragon in the WIN
ter Of 1S61-62. She made the fastest
run ON record from Newcastle, N. s.
w., thirty-five days, and anchored Off
Meiggs wharf. Captain Watson, the
well-known marine surveyor. was in
command of the vessel, but the pilot
was still in charge when the accident
happened. A sudden change Of wind
and a fierce squall drove the Flying
dragon down on the rock and she be-
came total loss.
"The next vessel lost on the rock was
the bark Aut0crat in 1869. She was
loaded with coal and drifted down to
her doom in a dense fog. Since that
time numberless vessels have made the
acquaintance Of Arch rock and always
to their disadvantage. The old ferry
boat Clinton went ON one of its lodges
In fog and the steamer Oregon, now
running between the sound and Nome,
lost her bilges on 1t. The old bark
Columbia stuck on 1t for day and a
night, and. last Of all, the bark Cey.

ago and was saved by the quarantine
steamer Sternberg. AS it was the Cey.

in San Francisco having been disposed

in work preliminary to the demolition
of the still more famous Arch rock III

forty-niner cannot recall the day when
this picturesque menace to navigation
was not mathematical by the sailor
man. Many time its destruction has
been suggested, and its demolition
would have been accomplished
long ago but for the sentimental oppo-
sition Of few veteran Californians
who hated to see their odd-lOoking old
friend disappear forever. Residents of
Sausalito have always been particular
ly averse to its destruction. their cry
always being that 1t was one or the
sights of the bay. Eventually cont1n-
ued agitation by pilots and others ill.,
terested in shipping bore fruit, and now
Arch rock must follow in the way OF
the two others.
In early days Of California's history 1t
was q favorite amusement for young
men to wait for an unusually low tide
and then pull boat through the arch.
So far as is known the first time this
feat was accomplished was in 1857,
when Captain Frank Murphy, one Of
the best known pilots of his day, rowed
q small boat through. For few years
the daring trip was occasionally made
or attempted, but eventually couple

Since that time rowboats have given
Arch rock wide berth.
Frank Boyd, noted pilot of the Cali
fornia coast, voiced the opinion of all
men in his profession when he called
Arch rock dangerous spot, and said
1t should have been blown up long ago.
"When they come to survey that spot"
he said, they will find every inch of
ground in the vicinity Of Arch rock
covered with anchors and chains.

gashes in the herculean carcass; then
he fell under a crushing blow from one

other Indian. After trying In vain to
climb he limped back to Mustang. but
before he could tear the man to pieces
the Indian, who was by no means dead

yards and then, overcome by the fear
of death which comes instinctively to
