SOLDIERS MAKE TRIP TO SEA
TO AID SHIP IN DISTRESS
Joke Is Played Upon Members Of the
Sixtieth Company Who Wish to
DISTINGUISH Themselves.

Several members of the Sixtieth
Company of Coast Artillery, stationed
at the Preside, are looking for the
mounted orderly who caused the boat
crew to be turned out shortly after
luncheon on Thursday The object
was to aid in the rescue of some
twenty persons who were supposed to
be drifting to sea. clinging to the
bottom of a small craft which had
turned turtle just opposite the Pre-
sidio wharf.
Several members of the company
were cutting grass in front of the
barracks, when the orderly rode up
and pointed out the distressed craft
floating slowly out the Golden Gate.
Ten men under the command of Pri-
Yates Rush and Waterman, the cham
pion oarsmen Of the company, rushed
to the wharf md with visions of med
ais from the War Department en-
barked in the TWO rowboats and were
soon pulling toward the Golden Gate.
After a few minutes they discovered,
to their dismay, that the object to
which they were rowing was not a
ship as they had thought, but some
logs and brush that had been floating
in the bay. On returning the tide was
so strong that both crews were obliged
to land at Fort Point and wait for the
tide to change. The orderly has not
been seen about company quarters
since

POLICE SPOIL
HIS ROMANCE
Cause the Separation of
an Alamedan and
His Girl.
She Refuses to Listen to
His Story of Hard
Luck.

They remember him as willy" at
police headquarters. His other name
has been lost in the shuttle. Willy"
when on regular diet and enjoying a
normal allowance of sleep, weighs 120
pounds and stands full five feet in his
heaviest soled shoes. willy" who
lives in Alameda, has a rich papa, who,
two weeks before the earthquake, gave
his son fine, big touring car.
Under the tuition OF skilledchauf-
feur willy" learned to operate his
speedy plaything, and by April Is was
fairly confident of his own ability as a
mahout.
willy" had best girl in the city.
After the earthquake he saw the
heavy clouds Of smoke ascending from
San Francisco and learned that the
city was in danger of total destruction.
His first thought was of Her.
Through friend in the railroad SER
vice willy" and his auto were passed
on board a ferry boat, and after a
record breaking run from the ferry de-
pot the "honk, honk!" of "Willy's"
horn announced to the best girl in the
world that willy had come to the
rescue.
A few minutes later the big car with
it's fair passenger was choo- -chooing
its way to a friends home near Golden
Gate Park. BY the time they arrived
there She had regained her presence of
mind. Her pretty gowns, her pictures,
her books, her several bales of will
ly's" letters and other treasures had
been left behind. Would willy re-
turn and save them, too, from the
flames.
Sure, willy" would. Away he sped.
Halt"
1t was a begrimed policeman that
said it. Willy" stopped.
How are you fixed for gasoline 2"
queried the grimy one.
Think I'm running short" replied
willy"
Il know where you can get al you
want" said the cop. Take me to the
Hall of Justice and I'll show ypu.''
It's awfully good of you," said
Willy" and there and then he told
the policeman all about Her and how
he had saved her life and was going
to rescue her property.
Here we are the policeman said,
Just wait there a minute"
Then willy" heard his passenger
say to another man in uniform:
Here's another of them automobiles,
Chief"
And the man addressed as "Chief'
replied:
Good! Don't let him get away"
And he didn't.
1t was forty-eight hours before
willy was allowed to return to Ala
media. His new car looked like an
abandoned bathtub. willy had lost
Is pounds and was hardly visible be-
hind the steering wheel. He had car
ried policemen, soldiers, firemen, doc
tors, dynamite, groceries, hose, bag
gage. sick and wounded citizens, hay,
oats and water barrels
Her" house had been burned with
all the gowns, pictures, books and let
ters. Toward the end of his enforced
service willy had found an oppor-
tunity to call at the Golden Gate home
that was sheltering his sweetheart.
When she saw willy" she screamed.
When she heard his story she turned
away, and her parting words were
ringing through the dust in "Willy's''
ears as he slowly choo- chooed to the
ferry:
IF you think more of what an old
policeman says than you do Of me, go
back to your old policeman"

CHINESE PRISONER MAY
HAVE PERISHED IN JAIL.
Body Of an Unidentified Monaghan Is
Found In the Ruins of the Broad
way Prison BuiIdinq.

The body OF an unidentified Chinese
has been found in the ruins of the
County Jail on Broadway. The
unfortunate man evidently had per-
ished in one OF the corridors on the
upper tier Of cells. II is the opinion
of the Morgue officials that he was
a prisoner and escaped the notice or
the deputies when they removed the
other prisoners
Another body was found in the ruins
of a fish market at the corner of San
some and Merchant streets The body
was not burned The head being bad
ly crushed leads to the belief that
the man was killed by falling debris
at the time of the earthquake.
