While preparations for leaving shore
were under way a new difficulty arose
that OF picking crew. Eight men were
needed; but each man in the two crews
insisted on being given a place in the
boat. The Avalon crew We're fresh and
impatient for the work ahead, but the
men from Tathams protested vociferous-
ly against any arrangement that would
leave them to play the role of spectators
Finally it was agreed that the privilege
of facing death in the breakers should be
accorded the two keepers and three men
from each station. The disappointment
of being left behind was so keenly felt
by one of the surfmen that he broke
down and wept like child. This man.

there was practically no lee to afford

The tug was in momentary danger, more

Grand Daddy of
All Bunnies is
Killed at Last

William Hudson of the Steamboat
Springs section killed jack rabbit
this week that is claimed to be the
chief patriarch and grand master of
all bunny herds. The Routt County
Sentinel states that the rabbit was
known in Routt county years ago and
in 1887 was caught for a year1ing
calf and branded by mistake. The
brand is still visible on the left hip.
The report says that the rabbits
hide will be made into a lap robe and
the meat will be sold in 20 pound
slabs. Mesa county pioneers claim
that they have seen cotton tails in
years gone by that they mistook for
buffalo, but they never heard OF such
a jack rabbit as the veteran killed
near Steamboat Springs.
