Two blocks away we fell under the

We were offered an apartment on

place to press autumn leaves, but not
as a place to live in unless the tenants
went through life standing up. We
therefore declined with thanks and
walked out backward, having little
faith in Cuban refugees.
Presently Peaches found a pippin. 1t
was a gingerbread rookery with seven
rooms and four landlords.
1t was called The Pepsinetta and It
looked the part.
There were sliding doors; hot and
cold gas in every room, and the janitor
had s%elf-folding arms.
The outlook provided a superb view
of the uncompleted Palisades, with
blasting from 6 to 8 a. m. and malaria
at all hours.

building with a fricassee of iron
around the front of it.
1t was called The Gushworth Arms

The %janitor was made up to look like
a sea lion, but he had the softest voice

A rival transporta- ton company had designedly placed a friendly French pilot on the Nellie to delay her trip, and after the pilot had Che Nellie on @ corkscrew course for three or four days, Captain Chas. Lowe, of the Nellie, stopped the steamship California and sent the pilot back to the States.
 The Nellie was a wood.burning yes. sel. Part of her equipment and by no means the least important, was her crude apparatus for securing fresh water. She carried several reels of cotton hose and a supply of wooden troughs and frequently she would stop at some point along the Inside Passage and drink from the At one place. near Alert Bay, the water was dipped from a Spring. and taken to the boat in Indian canoes. The Nellie finally ar- rived at Fort Wrangen, after a trip Of nearly two weeks. Mr. Hood spent that summer in the Stkine river work ing on the steamboats. and at wood cutting.
 That Fall he went back to Seattle on the old steamer "Grappler" which had been a Russian gunboat before Alaska was ceded to che United States
