 Steve Ferris is railing the launch Sunny Jim.
 Yesterday afternoon two young gen tlemen of Treadwell thought they knew enough about gas boat engineering to run a launch to the Red Mems picnic, and after getting fair start about half past one they made good time till they reached the Mexican mill, when the launch, recognizing her moorings, refused to go any further. Coaxing, swearing and cranking did no good, and with the tide running out they drifted almost to Nevada creek <and, oh, how it did rain). Seeing that try ing to start the engine was useless, they started to row home with one oar and succeeded in reaching the Mexican about 5 o'clock in an almost exhausted condition. They have both made up their minds to take few lessons in engineering before trying to run an- other engine. They went down to the picnic on the Lotus at 6:30 p. m., sadder but wiser boys.
