The Portland Oregon Telegram says:
Roped, thrown. tied down on the hur-
ricane deck and rendered as helpless
as bunchgrass maverick which has
been ready for the application of a
branding iron, forms a part of the
playful treatment accorded Captain
G. T.. Jahnsen, master of the steam
schooner J. b. Stetson, arriving yes

lassoing, and the skipper was taken
completely by surprise. Dingeman is
an expert with the rope, and at the
first throw the loop dangled over the
head of the mariner. In a jiffy the
slack had been drawn up. pinioning
his arms, and the next instant half
hitch was thrown around his legs rs
he was jumping about to see what
had happened. Jahnsen keeled over
on his starboard side. and the chan
who used to ride the prairies and sing
Sam Bass bounced upon him. The
navigator was securely tied In less
than minute after he had been rop-

Capers of various sorts were cut
up by the passengers after they had
recovered from seasickness. The cap

were pulling of so well that Dinge
man decided to try his skill as a las.
soist on him.
After Jahnsen had been released he
concluded to get even with his frisk,
passenger Whitening his opportunity

which the man from San Diego wa.
to occupy that night. But Dingemar
had a friend with whom he wa,
sharing the same berth, and as fate
would have II the latter was the frs
to retire. When he soused into th'
water he began to yell that the shi,
was sinking, and 1t was not long unit
every one aboard had heard of tn,
joke the skipper attempted to pla!
on the eX-cowboy.
