the shore, while the waves dashed full
against the base of the cliffs and
sent the spray almost up to the little
ledge where Becker still clung with
that desperation which men will show
when so near TO death.

morning and shouted down such en-

of the cliff showed clear of the break

CLUNG
TO THE
CLIFF
Thrilling Fight Against D?ath
by Waves
imprisoned on Almost Per
pendicuIar Wall of Rocks

A special from Aberdeen, Wash,
says: During all of last Wednesday
night and part Of Thursday, John
Becker, a prominent merchant OF that
city chung TO a narrow niche of rock
in the almost sheer face of a cliff
overlooking the Pacific above North
Beach, while the wild waves dashed
in fury beneath him as If to engulf
him in their Icy embrace and only the
mournful cry Of the sea gulls and the
harsh roar of the night wind answered
his despairing calls calls for help.
Becker was one of several men who
had been up to their claims in the
Queets' country and, returning, they
had taken the route along the beach
down through the Quinault reserya-
tion.
Took the Short Cut.
The shore line is comparatively
even for miles, but at one point the
cliff runs straight up from the water,
II being possible TO pass outside OF
them only at low tide. Just to the
north OF these cliffs is a long tunnel
worn under the rocks by the action of
the waves and this short cut Is usual
ly taken in preference to the trail
around through the woods and over
the lnshore rise OF the cliff.
The party had struggled along the
beach keeping IN sight Of each other
the most OF the time, Becker being
next 10 the last in line
When he reached the entrance to
the tunnel he noticed that the tide
was coming In, but thought he could
get through all right and started to
make the other side. Before he
reached the exit the water was up to
his waist and when he came out on
the beach the surf was breaking heav
lily all along the foot OF the cliffs.
Cut on From Escape.
To go back again was impossible
and there was no chance OF breastlnf
the incoming tide. Realizing his peri
Becker started to climb the face o.
the cliff. With his pocket knife h,

reach OF the waves. He knew that h,
could not retain his footing for yer!
long, and ne kept on going up th'
nearly perpendicular wall until h,
found cleft in the rock large enougl
for him to stand upon.
Above him the face OF the cliff tow
cred for several hundred feet Will
below the angry waves dashed in ma
fury and further escape was cut OF
in every direction.
His clothing was torn, his hand
cut and bleeding from using his knit
and from contact with the jagge
rocks, he was drenohed TO the ski

All through the long hours of the
night Becker stood on his narrow

The sea broke In angry surges on the
