turned a somersault over the tow rope,
the breaking of which was all that
saved the Crowley launch Sybn from

as Carlos Cousin"
AS the launch was passing Point

denly heel over to starboard. While ne
was trying to figure out a reason for
this eccentricity in a smooth sea, there
arose from the water great dark
mass which hit the lighter a terrific
bump 1t was big whale.
The great fish wallowed about for a
few seconds between lighter and
launch and then rising slowly from the
water threw somersault over the tow
line. AS the big tail came down on
the rope the stern of the launch went
down and the after deck was sub
merged to the towing bit, when the
whale gave another wriggle which
parted the line in two places and al
lowed the launch to come UP on even
keel.
Carlos Cousin and Figari by this
time were saying their prayers. Sim
mott was thinking how nice it would
be to be back in the Mountains among
the Indians where he spent a few
months last year. The whale came up
again about twenty feet away and dis
appeared.
The lighter was picked up with diff

Point Bonita was towed to Vallejo
street for repairs. The cargo shifted
under the jar of the whales charge,
but none of the pipe went overheard

ashore at Sausalito and threatened to

He vows that he will never make an
other trip outside the heads while the

RattIesnake Is Mayors Pet.

Atlantic City, n. IA five foot rat
tlesnake has become the special pet
of Mayor Stoy and occupies luxurious
quarters in his private office. The
snake has five rattles, which it rattles
joyously on the approach of Mr.. Stoy.
Since its arrival here several days

that every one, excepting the mayor,
has given the place wide berth. The
janitOr has refused to clean the room
and the mayors pretty typewriters
have been thrown into a state border
ing on hysteria.
The snake, which Mayor Stoy Sc
cured on a hunting trip in the south.
has learned to come to Mr.. Stoy at his
call Its fayorite haunt is on the top
of the mayors desk, where it will re-
main for houra at a time Mr.. Stoy
says the snake Ids come to stay.
