prime.
Let US make our way along the main
avenues. which lead through the center OF
the town. to the Forum. We enter one by
great stone gate decorated with carvings
over iaSstones cut into deep ruts By the
chariot wheels. There are pillars on both
sides OF the street reaching on and on TO
the Forum. and beyond them on each side
are acres upon acres OF ruined buildings

Of the MOhRmmedan fconoelast have cut

of the walls are still left 90 that one can
see Just how they were constructed. and
can walk from room to ROOM through
house after house.
At the right side Of this main street fac
ing the Forum. ran covered passageway,
the top OF which rested upon these pillars.
This was for foot passengers who could
there move aleng without danger from the
throng OF chariots and horses in the street
outside. At the same time the people could
see out between the columns on the other
side OF this facade or passageway the resi-
dences faced. and on the opposite side OF

now they could be repaired and the baths

Left TO themselves. the crew Of the light
ship managed to keep enough sail on it
TO give it steerage way. Then the cap

near by at Fort Canby.
No 90 was cast so far upon the beach
that neither the government engineers nor
firm OF contractors who applied for the
job could pull it into deep water. One
reason was thst it was nearly filled with
sand. The government inspectors found,
though. that il had been but little dam
aged In spite Of its rough handling by the
wind and waves.
The bit OF beach on which it was thrown
forms part Of a peninsula, the water on
the other side being an arm Of the Pacific
known as Bakers bay. The question arose
whether the craft could be launched in the
hey II not in the ocean.
Surveys were made OF the country across

selves to do the work for $3.50.
Sixteen mo-ths had elapsed since that
November storm which threw the vessel
upea the shore, where 1t was now as high

began. This was the way in which it was
made:
The windlass would b. placed in front
OF the cradle at the end Of the hauling
chain. which was attached u the bow Of
the lightship. BY means Of long bars ex-
tending <-om the sides OF the windlass a
string Of half dozen or more horses could
be attached. two or three TO each bar. All
starting at the same time, they would re-
vote the windlass.
AS the cable was wound about the wind
lass the vessel moved forward foot by foot
When 1t had gone nearly the length of the
chain. the horses were unhitched, the
windlass placed upon a truck, hauled for
ward another hundred feet OF so. then set
down. The chain as unreeled by one OF
the horses would be carried back to the
Hghtship and attached. Again placing
this engine in operation the vessel would
be moved forward.
In front OF the Ship movers and their
apparatus went a squad of roadmakers
who cut down young trees and bushes,
pulled up stumps and removed other OBJ
structions in the way. Holes in the ground
were filled with sand or other solid ma
ter!al
Where patch OF swampy or wet
ground lay in the roadway IT was bridged

piles OF wooden timbers. Tops OF hillOcks
were smoothed OF where the ascent was
too steep.

journey like the tortoise-slowly but surely

While this was being done the contractors
built a sort o. cradle Of stout timbers,
strongly bolted together and resting upon
low wheels. placed so that the weight OF
the ship would be equally distributed upon
them. With the cradle built. the next
thing was TO form q track or roadway
upon which It could be moved without
being forced down into the sand and earth.
A skidway, as the lumberman would say.
was made out OF heavy planking and on
this the cradle rested. When the lightship
was emptied of sand the beach into which
it had settled several feet was dug away
on the land side and another skldway built
upon it Of planking, the top Of which was
smeared with grease.
Next a windlass was set W. TO which
was attached a stout chain reaching to
the bow Of the vessel. As 1t was partly
heeIed over when thrown ashore and IN
settling into the beach il was now neces-
ssry TO get the lightship upon an even
keel as the sailors say. This was done
by running cables from the sides Of the
vessel TO stumps and posts driven into the
beach. The cables. which were run through
blocks, were then hauled taut by teams Of
horses and thus the Eghtship righted..
BY means Of tine Wndlass. which. was
also turned by string Of horses, the bow
of the craft wss gradually pulled around
toward its destination and upon the creased
roadway. One OF the most dtfncmt. opera
tlons OF all was to get il upon the cradle
but this was finally accomplished by means
OF the horse power windlass.
The cradle was curved 20 that il fitted
closely 10 the bottom and lower sides OF
the vessel. keeping it straight in the air.
To the front OF il was fastened the wfndiass
chain. which was abou. 80 feet Iong

The spot for launching was a little basin

Manila cables were stretched from the
stern through pulleys fastened to the trunks
OF trees on either side OF the basin The
cables were long enough to reach from
the vessel to the trees. then back to the
beach. where the shore end OF each was
run through another pulley and attached
10 a string Of horses.
Then amid the shouts OF the people who
had gathered from the country around to
see the last stage OF this voyage the drivers
whipped up their horses. the cables groaned
and creaked in the pulleys and No 20
started stern first for the water. The
weight TO be overcome was 50 great that
the vessel stuck on the skidway and only
after soldiers and lumbermen added their
strength TO the pulling ropes id It again
get under way. This time, however, the
vessel did not stop until it entered the
water and one Of the straugest voyages
on record was ended.
The craft was towed 70 a neighboring
shipyard for repairs. which were soon
made, and was then returned to its station
where it stlu guides the mariner in his
approach TO the mouth Of the Columbia.

two years It made remarkable voyage

ships which are not propelled by their own
steam power. its boiler being used merely
to provide steam to sound its twelve-inch

The chain snapped at nighttan and in the
