CHAPTER xi.

Daylight was in the thick Of bis
spectacular and intensely bitter fight
with the Coastwise Steam Navigation
Company, and the Hawaiian. Mica
raguan and Pacific-Mexican Steam
ship Company. He stirred up a big
ger muss than he had anticipated.
and even he was %astounded at the
wide qualifications OF the struggle and
at the unexpected and incongruous In
terests that were drawn into 1t. Every
newspaper in San Francisco turned
upon him. It was true, one or two OF
them had first intimated that they
were open to subsidization. but Day
lights Judgment was that the situa-
ton did not warrant such expenditure.
Up to this time the press had been
amusingly tolerant and good-naturedly
sensational about him, but now he was
to learn what virulent s~currilousness
an antagonized press was capable OF.
Every episode Of his life was resur-
rected to serve as foundations for ma
licious ~fabrications. Daylight was
frankly amazed at the new interpre-
tation put upon all that he had &C
complished and the deeds he had
done. From an Alaskan hero he was
metamorphosed into an Alaskan
bully, liar. desperado. and ~all-around
bad man" The whole affair sank to
the deeper deeps OF rancor and savage
ness. The poor woman who had killed
herself was dragged out Of her grave
and paraded on thousands Of reams
of paper as a martyr and a victim to
Daylight's ferocious brutality.
He was like a big bear raiding a
beehive, and, regardless Of the stings.
he obstinately persisted In paving for
the honey. He gritted his teeth and
struck back. Beginning with a raid on
two steamship companies, 1t develop
ed into a pitched battle with a city.
