NARROW ESCAPE FOR ESTEbETH
 AND PASSENGERS
Col. Lenoir Gives Details of the Boat Striking a Rock While Going
 Full Speed.

The special from Sitka to The Elm pire Saturday telling about the Este beth striking rock, was followed by a detailed account from Col. Le noir to the local cable office, which indicates that the situation was ser ious for time.
 The account by the Colonel says the Estebeth left Juneau and ran into a squall and the blinding storm prevented her from seeing the shoa' light on Douglas Island, about 8 miles from Juneau where the course for Sitka must be changed. She ran full speed on the shoals near Horse Island, about half a mile from the Island and 12 miles from where the wreck of the Princess Sophia lies The passengers were almost pumped out of their berths There was not the usual crash for such an impact due to the toughness of the boat and the fact that she is built ol oak.
 The bow remained fast with the stern swinging free, and the passen gers. many of them poorly clad. hud dled on the icy decks, with the icy spray dashing over almost everything Word was passed around and they put on life belts. There was talk of launching the life boat, but it was realized that no one could live long in the freezing waters. if 1t capsized and after it was found that the boat was not leaking. it was decided te remain on board Finally the boat swung free, and the Colonel said fl there had been hole she would have suffered the same fate as the Sophia, as she was in deep water He gives credit to the captain fol the excellent manner in which he maneouyered to get her way iron the rocks, once she was free.
 He said that the only "happy in dividual" on board was a corpse ir a coffin being taken to Sitka. and some of the passengers eyed the cof tin as possible means of using as a raft to escape, if the worst came

Tho result of Friday nights con test, which was the second meet in the International Bowling Tourna ment now on between Dawson, White horse, Skagway, Treadwell and Ju neau, shows Dawson to be in first place by a small margin of only 3e pins.

II Bit of France
: and French

During the American occupation
of France there was so much friend
Illness and bonhomie between the ma
tives and their wartime guests that
both strove to learn something Of the
others language. The French folks
caught up several of our American
slang expressions and used them at
every opportunity with huge enjoy
ment of the light that came in the
doughboy's eye when he heard the
good old word, whatever 1t was
And in apologize spirit we confess
that the men of the A. e. F. would
oftentimes teach the unsuspecting
Frenchmen most naughty phrases. in
the bald American tongue, which
they would take every chance to re-
peat with flourish and laugh, play
ing for applause, but not appreciat-
ing the thing they were saying at all.
OF French words and phrases we
have absorbed a good many, thru
the army, and they have good start
at being real Americanisms. There
is "beaucoup" (boh-coo) meaning in
French, "a great deal' or many"
American soldiers use the word to
mean "a whole lot" very much"
and etc. They use 1t whenever they
want to create an impression about
the size, abundance or quality Of an
article or the kind of an act. They
say, Jack won beaucoup francs in
the game last night" or "Bill sure

Excitement at School

Cpl. Arthur Kitchen of the 160tf
infantry, 4Oth division, landed in the
! U. S. from Brest, France several
weeks ago, and wired. From Camp
Funston he wired he would reach
here Wednesday and Mrs. Kitchen
would have been looking for him,
had not a letter from camp followed
the telegram saying he couldn't
make it.
So when a big husky doughboy
corporal swung wide the door of the
third grade class room at the Central
school Wednesday morning and
started right in to kidnap teacher,
the kiddies were treated to a few
moments of grand excitement, which
drove away dull care for the rest of
the day. Teacher was bit flustered
too, naturally.
Mr.. and MIS-. Kitchen took, in the
flying circus at Pocatello Friday and
then went to Fl, Hall to visit Mr..
Bennett, reservation farmer there.
Cpl. Kitchen was shunted off on
M. P. duty at Brest, and therefore
missed seeing the front while yet
there was chance.

coup rain, beaucoup rest"


Next to "beaucoup" the most
overworked word in France is fin
ish.' 1t is neither American nor
French, for our word is finished"
and their word is ''fini' pronounced
feenee.) The combination is pro-
nounced by our men finish" and by
F'renchmen "feeneesh," and used by
both sides as tho it were a coined
word to fit the new circumstances Of
war times. The French would often
say, of the war, that it was as good
as over, thus: La guerre feeneesh."
and the same thing when it was
actually done with. Or, they would
put it "Feeneesh la guerre."
Another French phrase-word is
"toute-de-suite" meaning, "immedi-
ately," right away" quickly"
Americans say it like this, "toot-
sweet" and as useful word, it takes
the final palm. 1t means most every
thing. Americans have gone so far
as to raise it to new one, 1.-THE
.tooter the sweeter" in their love of
playful audacity. And so, before the
armistice everybody was saying, La
guerre feenesh toot-sweet," and be-
tween our men and Frenchmen this
quantance ana safsa lrisnd e CHANGE ae.
sight. French mattresses, knowing
clad for service, would invariably
give assurance that the meal or wine
order would be toot-sweet" forth
coming.
There was good deal of humor
on both sides in the multiplied use
of these two expressions, "toute-de-
suit" and "fini.' At every new turn
when either could be worked in it
would bring laugh of comprehen-
sion. The French keenly UNDER
stood our American intention to
push their good old words to the
most amusing and exaggerated
lengths, and quickly followed suit
themselves, to humor us. An Ameri-
can might go into little shop to get
tobacco. and upon the proprietress
saying "Feeneesh tabac," he would
as like as not reply "Feeneesh la
gerre" and both would join in a
great laugh as he went out of the
door. OF course, the war was the
cause of lack of tobacco. But the
American was only thinking Of other
uses of the word "feeneesh." and
probably of the fact that when the
war should be done he would once
more be where tobacco is always
plentiful.
Toute-de-suite, (toot-sweet,) beau
coup, (boh-coo) and "feeneesh" are
the great A. e. F. handles to patched
up conversations. BY supplying a
French word here and there these
expressions can be made to carry off
many an exchange Of sentiment.
They are the borderland between two
strange tongues-rough and useful
pioneers to a better understanding
among allies.
There was one cafe in a rather
Americanized French town where a
certain waitress came to be known
far and wide among Americans as
Irish" She was slim, active, had
red hair and lots Of humor. When
ever a khaki soldier or two would
enter and sit down at table she
would come up for the order, and
before they could admonish, "toot-
sweet" that is hurry it up" she
would forestall them confidentally
with, "Shake leg, make eet snap
peel" And she drew a large patron
age to the place.. c. K.
