By Paul De Ldney

The storm grew stronger in its fury.
AS if angry at the prolonged life of the
dismantled chip, it gathered over the
spot where it was making its last feeble
fight to live. The sheets of rain grew
thicker. the steady wind grew stronger,
the waves dashed together behind her
and reared high up into the air. Then
they broke apart and those receding
sent the vessel on more rapidly. The
spray from the ocean and the sheets of
rain from the heavens formed q veil
which obscured all for a brief time.
The fishermen stood like statues for
a few moments. Night was closing in.
But for one brief instant there was a
glimmer from the departing day anu the
men ashore saw the stranded vessel
standing with nose in the sand while
the victorious waves were pounding
her at rate that must soon break her
to pieces.
But to render aid to those aboard the
ship was impossible. No
earthly craft could live in euch a
sea. Slowly and sadly the toilers of
the Colubmia wended their way to their
homes in the village where they told
the story of the wreck.

which forms the base is from seventy
five to one hundred feet thick while
the upper portion, having suffered and
survived many ages of wind and rain,
has naturally worn much thinper. OF
course, the color of the cliff is'not that
of natural glass and
white-but is mostly black and some
places mottled and streaked with

Dug Into q VOLTS Den.

An Oklahoman named Lawson had
his brother-in-law, Milo Blodgett, who
lives near Adobe Walls in the Texas
panhandle. Lawson went wolf-hunt-
ing alone. Next day his horse was
found saddled, but without a bride.
Blodgett summoned about thirty neigh
bors and began searching for Lawson,
who was located after nearly days
hunt. His feet were sticking from the
top of wolf den and about three feet
of dirt rested on his body. Lawson
was so fastened that he could not ex-
tricate himself.
He had dug down in the wolf den
about five feet on a slant in a manner
something like the entrance to a dug
out, then lay down in his trench to
reach in after some coyote pups. He
caught one and threw it out and it is
supposed that this frightened his horse,
which was tied to a bunch Of bear
grass near the hole. The horse, making
lunge, caused the banks to cave, the
dirt falling on the PROSTATE body of
the man, covering his body and head
The dirt caught him with his arms
stretched out in front SO he could not
use them to much advantage, but he
managed to work his hands and shove
the dirt down the hole until his head
was uncovered and he could get air
from the top. He lay in this position
from o'clock Thursday afternoon till
10 O'Clock Sunday morning.-Kansas

CHAPTER III.
Old Seadog Rejoicee.


Long before the old man and the
child were found, other fishermen had
launched their boats and had pulled out
on the bay.
Some went to the fshtraps and 9TH
ers made straight across to the wreck.
But old Seadog had prepared to 60
aboard the stranded vessel and to hold
it against all comers until he should
carry out his plans. Firearms had
been secreted in his small boat before
leaving shore and these were trans
ferred to the wreck.
One of the boys was left on guard
while the old man leading the others
went on searching tour of the ship,
They soon found that the vessel pos
sessed but little that was OF value for it
had discharged its cargo at San Fran
cisco, and hal come to the Columbia
for return consignment.
But it was not wealth of the kind
that the world considers valuable that
old Seadog was looking for, it was that
which would remove all cloud from the
title to his own wealth.
It was while thus engaged in ran
sacking the unfortunate vessel that the
advance guard of the fishermen arrived
in their small boats. Old seadog was
always first appealed to by his sons be-
fore action was taken and the one on
guard called to his father and informed
him of the approach of their neigh
bors.
The old man rushed upon deck and
seizing gun, he presented it and said:
"Upon your lives, come no closer,
men! Stop where you are and return
to your boats or / will shoot!"
"What right have you to the craft?"
asked the bolder of the party.
"The right of salvage men, the right
of salvage! We were first to board her
after the went aground" replied the
old man.
"Well, we will report you to the
law" shouted one of the fishermen as
they left the place, some returning to
the village and others pulling for their
traps further up the bay.

,each that they might find whether any

beach that they might find whether any
evidence of the vessel or her crew had
drifted ashore. This had always been
their custom and small boats and dead
bodies had often been found even 80
soon after great catastrophes.
In few hours the searchers began
to return to the village empty handed.
As they came each reported in turn
that nothing had been found; Itehad
been a severe storm, however, and
everything had probably been dashed
to pieces against the rocks about Cape
Disappointment, and the bodies of the
crew, they thought had been sent to
the bottom of the sea or were lashed to
the remnants of the vessel where all
must be dead.
The forward party which followed
the beach toward the ocean, and had
proceeded about mile was startled by
a noise while climbing among the drift
wood in little cove.
"A wharf rat!" exclaimed one.
"No, a weasel" said another.
ut is the voice of human being, as
sure as you live!" shouted third,
who was nearer the sound than the
others.
"On then," replied the man who
had first spoken.
The members of the party all rushed
to the place from which the sound en-
anated.
''Didn't tell your" said the man
who had proclaimed it a human voice,
when he reached the place.
"Well, l told you that it was a
small human being, and it is," replied
the man who had pronounced the cry
as coming from wharf rat.
''It's mate is old enough for you,"
remarked one of the fishermen.
eyes, but he is of little use now, he
is dead," was the reply.
"Not much, see, he opens his eyes!"
shouted one of them joyfully.
A sad picture. yet one that gave
pleasure to the fishermen, presented
itself. A short, stout old man, with
gray hair and whiskers, lay lashed to
q broken spar of a ship. He was
probably three score and ten. The
spar lay upon his right leg and he
could not move. Had this not been
the case he could never have relaesed
himself fl ON the timber, for he was
numb and dazed, more dead than liv-
ing and the chords had drawn deep in
to his body. But in the aged mans
clasp, like that of the dead, he held
close to his heart a crying infant.
