fish so you can put it on the
wall in the Office and prove I'm
not telling a fish story. We
also visited the Moonstone
Beach, where the Catalina
moonstones are found. We
stay there 80 minutes, and If
you are an adept at digging the
pebbles away for about a foot
or more, you may find hand
full of moonstones, and you feel
that you are rich; then you get
the expert to look them over
for you and throw away those
that are not genuine, you may
have one or two left, but not
always, and our hopes fall a
little. We are not very good
at finding moonston anyway,
but then he cannot deprive US
of the fun we had in digging
for them. The fish are very
plentiful here in the bay, and
we saw great many fire fish
caught, one they call the Vel.
low Tail that weighed SO lbs 1,
but they are really better eating
from Is to 30 lbs, many others
| do not recall the names of.
We had the pleasure of seeing
a shark about 6 feet long, after
it was killed and hung up; they
are such fighters it is hard to
land them. l thought of Mr.
Boies, how he would enjoy this
sport, as he is quite a fisher.
The time passed all too rapid
ly and now we must make the
homeward bound trip; the day
was fine and at 3 p m., we with
756 others on board the beauti-
full boat, left theY little Island
of Avalon, hoping some time in
the faraway future to visit it
once again. The most exciting
sight we witnessed in coming
home was a race with the
"leaping Tuna fish," they were
from 3 to 81 feet long and
seemed to go in pairs, and
whether it was the large waves
of the boat that disturbed them
or were trying to 60 faster than
the boat, to try their speed, l
don't know, but as the waves
swelled they would leap from
three to five feet and land in
the middle of another large
wave and race on; there were
some Is or 20 of them, and was
a sight very few of US had ever
witnessed. This Tuna fish is
canned and is great for salads.
We reached home in due
time, feeling we were getting
to be quite good sailors.
We expect to start on next
Tuesday, June 9Th, for San
Francisco, but will visit the CT
ties of Importance as we 60
along. | will try to keep you
posted where we are.
The weather here is getting
warmer through the day, but
nights are cool. Glad you had
a good rain in Iowa, but hope
it did not do much damage. l
saw corn here yesterday. which
was in silk, but was only three
to four feet high, it did not
look like our Iowa corn.
Hoping all are well, and with
best wishes to all friends at
home.

Communication from
California

Dear folks at home:-A little
over two weeks ago, we agair
packed our grip and hied away
to see the beauties of the grand
old ocean. Long Beach looked
very attractive to us so we de.
cided to deposit our grip and
remain for q few days. In look.
ing around we found some love.
~ rooms overlooking the ocean
and right on the beach; nothing
else would have satisfied us, fol
it was the water we left ou1
other flats to see, and the way
we wandered up and dor
gathering shells on the beach,
you could easily guess we were
having a fine time. On the
next day after arriving, we all
(of our party) decided to try
surf bathing and found it very
invigorating and great pleasure.
The ladies of our party are not
noted for their jumping quail
ties so when the big breakers
would come down on US we
would simply take hold of hands
and scream till they passed by.
Sometimes they would kno ok
us down but we were up and
ready for the next one. Those
who have bathed in the surf
can appreciate this; there was
also a fine plunge bath which
we certainly enjoyed, and could
we have stayed a number of
years think l might have learn
ed to swim.
While in the city l visited
Mrs. w. A. Ellis and Mrs.
Belcher, sisters of Mrs. E r..
James of Mo. Valley, Mrs.
Belcher having just returned
from San Francisco Fair, had
many things of interest to tell.
Mrs. Ellis is bearing up bravely
in the sorrow that came to her
in the death of her son, Frank,
who was killed bya motorcycle
running him down, his wife has
about recovered from the acct
dent.
After q week spent in Long
Beach we decided it would new
er do to leave California without
visiting Catalina Islands. On
Friday morning we took the
electric car down to San Pedro,
and boarded the large boat
Cabillo, that plies between the
two cities. The waves and
swells were fine, but we did not
travel over the boat very much
as we did not care to feed the
fishes as some did. After a
two hours sail we landed on the
Island; it is % miles long, from
l to 8 miles wide, forming a
crescent; it's highest peak is
1900 fit. Probably the best
known of Catalina's unique at
fractions and which no one
should miss, is the beautiful
submarine gardens through the
glass bottom boats beautiful
ferns, flowers, shrubs, waving
foliage, and fish of all kinds
and size. Going on the boat
with all excursions, a man dives
down to the depths of many
feet and brings up beautiful
shells which you may purchase
for 25c. 1t is almost impossible
to believe one could stay under
the water as long as he did, but
there was no fake about it as
you could see him all the time,
he looked more like a fish down
so far, than a human being.
We then pass the famous seal
rocks where we saw a great
number of the sea lions where
they had crawled up out of the
water to sun themselves; one
small rock contained four little
cubs, which looked so crowded,
if one made a move they would
all tumble into the ocean. All
the ladies would liked to have
had one for a pet. They are
very tame around the beach,
everyone is feeding and trying
