The Treasure Ship

OAKLAND, Cal, May 9.-Gone
ere the adventures and the Klon-
dixie "kings" of '98, but the ship that
carried more passengers and gold out
of the Alaska country than any other
vessel on the coast is lying at the
Oakland waterfront, as trim as she
was thirty years ago.
This Treasure Ship" of the Klon-
dixie days-the "Hamboldt"-was sold
recently at auction for $4,000 to sat-
isfy libels against her owners.
Auction Draws Crowd.
Lusty tales of the Alaskan gold
rush days that cling to the once
proud Humboldt" brought thousands
of San Francisco's merchants ex-
change to witness the auction. AL
bert E. Gillespie was the successful
bidder.
And the man who took her north
for her first trip, who quelled the
gun fights of maddened miners, set
tied the disputes of their angry camp
following mistresses and lost only
100000 out of $1OO,O00,00 worth of
gold dust and bullion that comprised
his cargo, was among those present
at the auction.
Captain f. G. Baughman remains
master of the historic ship that sailed
through the Golden Gate, the slim,
white craft that made 500 trips into
northern waters.
Captain Recalls Treasure Days.
Exciting days and dangerous, those
gold rush days." declared the captain,
the tall, white-haired and unsmiling
master whose word was the only law
among the toughest outfit that ever
thronged north at the smell Of "gold.'

sudden animation in her face, "May-
he she don't know how it is ! want
that dress" Her eyes stared to again
caress it.
81 never have had a silk dress"
The animation had faded into a dull
monotony of tone. "In the old coun-
try, nobody have. Then I marry and
I come here, fifteen year back. My
husband say to me Soon I get money
and I buy you silk dress So he go
work in the mill, but he not get much
money. We save a little, then we
have baby and the money go. I think,
well, sometime I have the silk dress.
Everyone have; this not like the old
country-here you must have"

eyes, it seems that way"
"Sure, and so I want. Again we
save money! think l get my dress
next month perhaps. But we have an
other baby, and my husband sick long
time, and go work in the mill, too"
The bent, twisted hands had told me
that.
"Well, we go on so--and sometimes
we have a little, but never money for
the silk dress"
She laughed. $50 the strike come,
and my husband he say, You going
out?' and I say, Sure, I go on strike
for silk dress He know I want
long time, so he laugh and say alright
he strike too"
"And you're still striking for it"
It was rather an obvious rejoinder,
but I was not much thinking what I
said. My mind was absorbed with the
picture of those two mill-workers,
who, after fifteen years of starvation
wages, could still laugh together over
the joke of making the strike per-
sonal matter-bringing it down to the
understandable level Of their own
cherished ambitions.
When We Winl
Again her eyes caressed the sleazy
silk of the dress-she turned to me
with half-embarrassed laugh, the
expression of one who realizes the
absurdity Of her own dreams.
"And when we win, l get a silk
dress" an unbelievable flash of
merriment lit, for a half second, that
not quite beautiful face-"and I think
l wear my silk dress and go make
call on the boss!"
She walked away, still smiling
she passed the dress her twisted hand
stole another moments shy contact
with its silk.

contaminated by trousers hiding
black skin.
Enforcing Gentility.
Another instance:
A little above center in a street
car is the scene. All seats are oc-
cupied; the aisles, all other space, is
crowded. A fat woman, bearing a
burdensome offspring in one arm
close to her breast, pulling another
youngster, somewhat older, by the
hand, enters and pushes her way into
the scene. A white gentleman-gen-
tleman, understands enjoying a
newspaper and, what's more, luxury
of all Injuries on this jammed troll
ley-carrier-a seat. He is a gentle
man enough to see that a lady and
her issue must rest, but he is not
gentleman enough to give up his up
lifting newspaper and the restful
seat. Instead, he calls out:
It's The Law.
"Hey, you niggah, git up. Don
you-all see a white leddy?" Behind
two Negroes must rise. The white
Teddy gets her seat. The honorable
gentleman has not exceeded any au-
thority; the Jim Crow law is on his
side. Doesn't it say, somewhere in
its unspeakable passages, that no
niggah must sit while white gentle
man or Teddy is standing?
This attitude permeates the peda-
gogy of the south, too. But here the
intolerance is not so limited. 1t goes
little farther, becomes more vicious;
the minds of pedants are not so elias
tic as those of the less erudite
Whereas in the street car the white
man can endure the presence of the
Negro-at the back-he cannot bear
the thought that his children must be
subjected to the air into which and
from which a black child might
breathe. The faint of black blood
might touch his youngster. And then
what calamities! Just imagine a
white woman's lowering herself to
teach pickaninnies! Just imagine how
a white child's chances to become a
good preacher, Sunday school super
intendent, nurse or schoolmarm would
be jeopardized if a little black head,
with tiny, kinky ringlets to which are
appended minute pink bows, were en-
deavoring to take in some of the i'm
becellic knowledge handed out by the
same marin in the primary grades!

Among the famous kings of the
Klondike who shipped aboard the
Humboldt" and were put ashore on
the rocks to hike over the passes to
the Yukon, were such men as Charlie
Anderson, "the lucky Swede," who
sat up in his cabin every trip south
to guard the piles of gold bars stacked
all round him. "Kings" Mcdonald,
LeDue and "Soapy" Smith, ringlead-
ers of the Skagway "bad men,"
The kings are long since gone
their gold is spent and stolen and
hidden away.
A Fantastic Legend.
There is a fantastic tale that sail
ors tell about the Humboldt THAT
somewhere in the dark depths of her
hold are bars of gold to the sum
of $4,000. Of the 100000 that was
stolen on trip from Alaska in 1910,
about $4,000 was recovered ashore.
The thieves were not able to land the
rest and so they slipped the bars into
the hold Of the Humboldt" to be rid
of tat least, that's the story.
Be this as it may, the ship that
carried sled dogs and pet bears, wild
women and wild wolves, along with
her treasure cargo in the old days,

at a booth where there were dresses

A little cro--d OF women had gather

there might be better bargains some

 Depending very much upon the territory through which the flight is 10 be made, there is low ceiling limit at which many pilots are avcrse to leaving the ground. Some stop short at 1000 feet in the in tarst of safety.
 Weather reports contain figures on the ceiling and also give clear and concise forecasts on visibility, telling the airman the distance in miles at which his landmarks can be recognized.
 And. of course, wind direction and velocity are most important items in the airman's weather report. There ! is an inevitable amount of drift from any normal flight course and ] unless the pilot knows which way and how fast the wind is travelling, 1 he can get far off line, particularly when fixed landmarks are not visi- 1 ble.

 (BY FRANK. !. CARMODY.)
 In giving credit where credit is due,those who are impressed and elated with the successes that have marked mans conquest Of the air during recent months must not over look the individual who too often is blamed unjustly for many of lifa's misfortuntes-the weather man. The plane builder, the pilot the charter Of airways and all others deserve their me5e of praies, Of course for they have done remark able things But assisting them in splendid fashion has been one of Uncle Sam's busiest agencies, the weather bureau.
 Knowing just what is before him in the way Of elemental uormalcy or disturbance is far more important 70 the long distance airman than knowledge of the highway condi- tions and routes is to the motor tourist and nearly everyone knows that auto road map dispensing agencies are buster this year than ever before.
 Weather may make or mar the pleasure of the motor trip and, un- der some circumstances, it may ln- crease it's hazards, but it is not usually a matter Of life or death. It's a lot of different, though, when you get up in the air where they make the weather" says one pilot whose experience qualities him to speak on the subject.
 If you know what to expect, you can so over, around or under the disturbance in majority of cases. '' he adds.
 That is where the weather pro- phet comes in.
 There are a half dozen things about the weather that an airman wants to know-and know exactly bFlOLE lLt pl ctttLS ulNIi 6i lHAlS u Y Of primary importance is whether he is going to fly head-on into q storm. Storms are hard to negotiate on land or sea, but they are muCf harder right up in the thick of then The knowledge that q storm is ahead does not halt the flight 1T most cases. The pilot Is able to steer course that will take him out O it's reach.
