Thus did John Cardigan dream, and
as he dreamed he worked. The city
of Sequoia was born with the Argo-
naut's siX-room mansion of rough red
wood boards and a dozen three-rOom
cabins with lean-to kitchens; and the
tradeSpeOple came when John Cardi-
gan, with something of the largeness
of his own redwood trees, gave them
ground and lumber in order to en-
! courage the building of their enter
prises. Also the dream of the school,
mouse and the church came true. as
did the steam tugboat and the schooner
with three maSts.
At forty John Cardigan was younger
than most men at thirty, albeit he
worked fourteen hours day, slept
eight, and consumed the remaining
two at his meals. But through all
those fruitful years of toll he had
still found time to dream, and the
spell of the redwoods had lost none
of its potency
AT forty-tWo Cardigan was the first
mayor of Sequoia. AT fOrty-fOur he
was standing on his dock one day,
watching his tug kick into her berth
the first square-rigged ship that had
ever come to Humboldt bay to load
cargo of clear redwood for foreign
delivery. She was a big Bath-huilt
clipper, and her master a lusty down
