SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 49,
An attempt to dynamite the gov
ernor's mansion and to kill Gov.
William. d. Stephens and his wife,
was made early today when a
charge of explosives was set off in
the southwest wall of the build
ing.
The rear porch was blown off
and a large hole was torn In the
patchwork of the building. Al

great adventure, and her heart
leaped with anticipation.
The thrills and escapades came
thick and fast. And the hazards
were grim.
Captain Peterson's schooner
was among the first victims of the
raider Seeadler.
Miss Taylor was the only wom-
an aboard-an alluring, bright
eyed, redlipped girl.
To give her the projection
which oven Teuton raiding party
might be expected to accord, the
American skipper introduced her
as his wife.
This alone saved the impetuaus
| girl from a harsh fate.
Confidence Her Shield
For weeks life was a battle and
a cruise, with Won Lucknor add
ing more crews to his captive list.
Miss Taylor me. the incredu-
lous and sometimes slantwise
stares Of rough men with the I'M
flinching confidencet that was her
shield.
She insisted on being on deck
during the captures, risking her
life on several occasions.
Then followed the long days on
Mophea island, far down the Pa
cific, when the Seeadler was
wrecked and the entire party of
100 men and one woman lived on
the sandy beach awaiting rescue.
Miss Taylor, known as Captain
Peterson's wife, was accorded ev-
cry courtesy and many liberties
by Count Won Lucknor. With the
captured officers, she lived in the
American camp" in tents impro-
vised from supplies aboard the
grounded raider.
Smile Helps
The rigid discipline of the sea,
maintained by the Germans, gave
the girl added protection.
Her frank smile and CHEEKY
spirit won the instant friendship
and admiration of every man who
shared her castaway fortunes.
They We'd with one another to
make the courageous girl COM
Portable, to set her at ease.
No drudgery for her. Food
was provided and served by the
German stewards. Shielded from
hardships like a child, hers was
the existence of a princess, rather
than a chore-woman.
Treated Like Queen
II was treated like a queen"
she said upon her arrival at San
Francisco. Never again shall /
expect to be thrown among men
in any walk of life and conven-
tional circumstances who will
treat me with such unfailing
courtesy and kindly considera-
ton"
The greatest tribute she pays
her comrades in misfortune lies
in her simple statement-"I was
not once afraid"
Life on the desolate island was
relieved Of dreariness by fishing
parties, hunts for turtles, cocoa
nut gathering expeditions, bathing
parties, and the constant demand
upon ingenuity to bridge the gaps
between bare necessities and COM
fort.
Like Mother Eve
The Germans lived apart in one
ten colony. The Americans, d.

Boys from every corner of the land,
many of whom never saw a gun big
ger than a Fourth of July pistol, are
getting cured of gun shyness," are
learning to point, sight and fire big
guns, upon which merchant craft re-
ly for defense against Germany's sub
marines.
Boys by the thousand are learning
these and many other lessons which
shall make them better men, men with
the stuff that enters into heroism
and national vigor. For three days

Meet on Same Level.
Most of those aboard are boys, but
not all. There's a grandfather en-
sign. There's a Wall street broker,
scrubbing decks and polishing brass,
there's a Buffalo business man. There
are college lads, boys out of grammar
school-folks out of every walk of
life, to whom the lure of the sea and
the call of patriotism sound louder
tina naught else.
This is the story of these days with
the fleet.
Later we shall see thse great hulks
by day and by night, a sight to thrill
the most blase. We shall go with the
men into their daily work and play,
waking and their sleeping, but
