Telling Stories
of Lake Tahoe

Last night a lot of old-timers were
telling st0ries of the time wnen the
shores of Lake Tahoe were inhabited
by wood choppers, sawmill men and
loggers, and one of the tales was O.
Sailor Jack" a character about the
lake. Jack was a fisherman and
guide for tourists and a sailor OF dis
tinction. He was an Irishman, and
had the wit usually ascrfDed to his
race.
When the steamer Tahoe was built
Jack did not like the skipper, and had
no respect for his seamanship. One
day, when the water was rough, the
captain temporarily lost conrtol Of
his boat and brushed the wharf as he
was leaving, causing some damage to
the propeller. Jack, who was loafing
about the pier, remarked: 81 said all
the time there was not room in the
lake for his boat, and he tries to
go ashore with it."
The story of the end of Sailor
Jack though old, is worth retelling
at this time for Lake Tanoe and all
things concerning it are topics of in
terest. Jack loved the lake, it's
scenery, and all things connected
with it. lie said he wanted to die by
its shore and be buried on tle small
island in Emerald bay. He had dug
his grave in the solid rock of the s.
land and it was ready to receive his
body when the time came. But, alas
for human hopes, he was never buri:d
in the place he had selected As is
known, the body of a person drowned
in the pure water OF Tahoe never
floats, and Jack one day went out IN
his rowboat when the lake was rough,
and his body was never recovered
The stone tomb he so carefully ex-
cavated is still there but the body Uf
the old sailor will never rest in it.

Report That British Submarine

BY ]. w +. Mason, written for the
United Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Conflictiag
reports have dDscured the recent naval
battle OF the Gull OF Riga, but there
seems no room for doubt that the
engagement occurred and that the
Germans wle driv II off. The Ger
man losses cannot be determinep by
the vaguely worded report from the
Russian admiralty that two cruisers
and eight TORPEDO BOATS were "des-
troyed or damaged"
Whether any were actually destroy.

1t is highly improbable that the Ger

assistance which was surprise to the
Germans.
The nature of this assistance is sug-
gested in the Russian reports that a
British submarine torpedoed a Ger
man dreadnaught.- If a number Of
British submarines had got into the
Baltic and had lain in wait for the
Germans, the German defeat would
be adequately explained. 1t is most
probable that this is what happened.
There have been many indications re-
Gently that English submarines are n
the German lake"
The German Baltic fleet hereafter
will have to adopt more cautionary
measures, if it is not to be destroyed
by British submarines.
