much better than II our boat were
capsized in the first heavy sea-"
"No ordinary wave will beat over
the raft I have planned" said Mr..
Carmody, producing a rough sketch
of the plans. 81 propose craft 40
feet long and IA feet wide. 1t will
be square at both ends. We will
frame the hull out of solid timber.
l notice that there are some tall,
straight trees back of the bungalow
which will serve admirably for our
purpose. I have built many ships
and barges, and we have the tools
and materials to do good job. The
best plan will be to frame the hull
on shore, and then take it apart and
put it together again in the water.
Of course we could build the raft
complete and launch it from the
stone pier, but it will be safer to
build it from the water.
eve will build house or cabin
sx24 feet. 1t will be high enough to
stand upright in. There will be three
staterooms, each with two sleeping
hunks. Then there will be a com
bined kitchen, dining-room and store
room. This cabin will be braced in
every direction, and have worked
out plan by which no ordinary sea
can cause serious trouble. A raft
built like this will ride the waves
safely"
Mr.. Carmody's plans also provided
for six oars or sweeps and rudder.
Through the roof of the cabin two
masts were stepped, each carrying
a boom and three-cornered sail.
He had found pile of canvas avn
ings which had not yet been put in
place on the windows of the bunga-
low. These promised to make excel
lent sails. For two hours the house.
boat was discussed, and the plan
suggested by Mr.. Carmody was
adopted. 1t was decided to begin
work on the boat early the following
morning.
While Mr.. Carmody and others
went to select the trees for the
frame work of the houseboat, Sidney
and Mr.. Kent rowed across the bay
and took an observation from the
rock overlooking the inlet. There
was no vessel in sight, though Sid
ney thought he could trace a line of
smoke at the edge of the southeast
ern horizon. They felled tall pine
tree and trimmed it for flagstaff.
Early the following morning five
of the men raised the pole on the
rock. having first provided flag
which they nailed to the top.
Sidney and Mr.. Kent watched the
sun as it dropped behind the west

ern ridge of hills. The air was re-
markedly clear, and the snow
capped mountain peak showed plain
in the purple distance.
"This island is a great mystery
to me-" said Hammond He was
looking at the mountain. Its base
faded away as the sun declined, but
the top glowed like pearl where
the light yet reflected from the daz-
zling snow.
"There are few peaks like that on
the American CONTINENT said Sid
ney. II have been looking up the
subject of high mountains along the
American coast. We surely are more
than a thousand miles west of New
York and we are in tropical waters.
The coast of South America swings
away east of New York, so we can
not be there. l can find but two
places which coincide with the time
indicated by our watches"
What are they?" asked Mr.. Kent.
"The Caribbean sea along the east
coast of Yucatan and Balize, and the
east coast of Mexico along the Gulf
of Mexico" said Sidney. There are
no such peaks as that visible from
the east coast of Yucatan, to say
nothing of from islands yet farther
east. Cape Catoche, the east point
of Yucatan, is in just the same longi-
tude as Chicago. We are west of
that. The only waters west are those
of the gulf and the Bay of Cam
peachy, part of the gulf forming
the northern boundary of Yucatan
and Tobasco, and the eastern shore
of the southern Portion of Vera
Cruz. From these waters you can
see the gigantic peaks of the vol
canoes Popocatapetl and Orizaba."
do you think that is one of
them?" asked Mr.. Kent, looking at
the mountain, whose very top yet
showed white and pink in the last
rays of the sun.
THAT mountain is Popocatapetl, I'M
less | am much mistaken" said Ham
mond. But there is no island on
the map east or southeast of it. An
island the size of this should show
on good map of Mexico, and there
are two modern and excellent ones

They reached the bungalow in time
to partake of light repast, includ-
ing some excellent berries which Mr..
Haven had found on the edge of the
south jungle. 1t was cool and
pleasant evening, and after work was
done chairs were placed on the
veranda, cigars lit, and a general
discussion followed.

The hat designed to be worthy of

Flood In the KIondike.

Tacoma, Wash. May 4.-The most
destructive flood in the history of the
North is now sweeping down Bonanza
creek in the Klondike. flooding cuts

road houses along the way, creeping

The injury to sluices will run into big

The flood is caused ny fast melting
snow and ice from the Eldorado gush-
er, having filled the bed of the creek
to an unusual depth, and the water has
started on wild rampage of destrue-
ton. Main street at Grand Forks is
under water and the food is creeping
into stores and houses of the town and
people are preparing to move back to
higher ground.
Dumps containing an aggregate of
S2,00S,000 in gold piled on the ice have
been undermined and washed away

and making recovery practically i'm

ment in the flow of water, and great
excitement prevails among miners

Injury to Beet Plants.

Denver, May 3.-A special from
Greeley to the Denver Republican last
night says:
Field Superintendent Timothy Of
the Greeley Sugar Company reports
that the hard freeze on the night Of
Wednesday has proven much more in
furious to the beet fields than was at
first anticipated. Five-sixths Of the
beet crop has been planted and is up
about two inches above ground. AT
least 600 acres will have to be seeded
again. The fields suffering greatest
were on high ground, the lowlands es-
Gaping all injury. The Sugar COM
pany will furnish seeds for the second
planting, which will be begun at once.
The fields near Peckham and Fort
Lupton were frosted most severely.
Young alfalfa on the high grounds was
also injured and in many places viii
have to be replanted.
