High up on a little platform in
front of an old shack overlooking
Baker's bny nt Ilwaco, Wash., is an
old figurehead. It lean forward as
Is characteristic with figureheads, and
point toward Scotland. It is the
form of a woman, a strong-faced,
strong-armed woman, with rugged
fvutures and a stern expression. The
fijrure is sawed off just below the
waibt. lih! this, too, is a part of the
story.
More than 20 years ago, when the
channel at the entrance of the Co
lumbia was less known and more dan
gerous thun now, the alarm was
kpreail along the beaches at the en
trance from the ocean among the
small I'.ni'ulatioti of fishermen that a
ship hud gotten within the two-mile
limit, and was drifting mercilessly
to the sands. The people ushore
signaled frantically to the suilors,
and they, in desperation, signaled
back, but they did not. understand
each other, and the ship went on to
it's doom. It soon lost the course of
the channel, and a little later stuck
its nose in the saud, and the heavy
breakers drove it on and on until the
hull wuH almost buried and she was
filling with water. The men dared
not risk their small boats in the
foaming breakers, and they clung to
the masts. The water rose higher
and higher, nnil the vessel sank her
nose deeper and deeper in the snnd.
The shipwrecked crew waved more
frantically to the people on the shore,
and the people on the shore waved
more frantically back. l!ut it was
useless. At early dan'ii the follow
ing morning they were seen working
about the deck, which was now high
nud dry above the water, but im
bedded deep in the sand. The fish
ermen went to their rescue. Their

cargo was principally ballast, and
they had but little to bring ashore.
It was utterly hopeless to save the
ship. They are rarely ever saved
when once imbedded in these sands.
After the. last load had been sent
ashore the captuiu began to work on
the figurehead.
"I must save this, at least," he said.
He worked nt it a long time. They
are put on substantially. Hut he suc
ceeded and brought it ashore. The
following day he sailed for Portland,
but before going he left the figure
head in the care of a fisherman, with
the injunction that he should take
good care of it until he called for it.
"I shall try to take it with me on my
return, but if 1 do not, will some day
make this orl and shall call for it,"
he said.
Hut the captain took train to
New York and sailed from .there to
his home. The old fii-liei'tnan took
the figurehead to his shack and kept
it for many years until his d.ulh
but the captain of the vessel it was
the Kdith Lome never called for his
property. It became, common prop
erty in the community. Its history
was forgotten by all but a few. In
the course of time it was carried
from place to place, as some one took
a fancy to it. Then it was stolen.
The fishing imltiMry was now 011 a
boom and a large number of men
were employed there. The old shack
list 1 as a inesshouse stood on u high
eminence overlooking Hakcr's buy.
The fisherman stole the figurehead
from Its last claimant and started to
place it on a little plat form hih up
la front of the shack. The figure was
too tall, and they sawed it off below
the waist, still giving it the forward
Inclination.
One day upon the arrival of the
boat from Portland a gruff old
Scotchman onme. He saw from the
wharf his figurehead adorning the
shack of ou "onery" land lubber, as
lie called it. A little' closer, and he
discovered that his Kdith hud been
desecrated by land lubbers. She had
he en sawed off below the waist. He
looked at the statue for a moment,
wiped nway a tear, probably tho first
fur years, and turning without a
word went aboard the local steamer
and returned to Portland.
There was all kinds of speculation
there at'the time about the matter.
Borne people said they thought it was
the imago of his wife; others thought
It waa the image of hit daughter, but
it wus afterwards learned that he had
never been married, and that this

In JS'J.'I he left there and 011 his own

had charge of buildiug the founda

One of the great difficulties confront
ing the designer of the bridge was the
unequal elevation of the two ends of
the bridge. To overcome this the floor
is run down on a seven per cent, grade
from the north bank to the river tow
er. From this point to the low end are
four runs of stairs, the whole being
suspended from the cables. On ac
count of its having only a tn-foot
roadway, wh'ch is narrow in propor
tion to its length, it as necessary to
resist wind pressure by running guy

DEVOTED TO CHESS.
Copt. Clark, M ii Took the Oregon
Around the Horn, In Considered
nn Kxpert l'lnyer.
Capt. Charles E. Clark, who took the
Oregon around the Horn, and is now in
command of the Naval asylum near
Philadelphia, is an enthusiastic chess
player. When he was stationed on the
Pacific coast his favorite shore resort
w as the Mercantile Library club, w hich
had many members who were ardent
devotees of Caissa. Even among these
Capt. Clark became known as oiu more
than ordinarily devoted to the game,
lie played at all time with such com
plete absorption in his task that his
sessions at the club were always spec
tacles for the curious; in short, he
CAPT. C. E. CLARK.
(Commandant of Naval Asylum Nea. Phil
adelphia, Pa.)
)Iayed even a social game as though it
might be a matter of life and death.
Now the story goes that when the
proposit ion to send the Oregon around
Cape Horn was first talked over in the
navy 1:1 partment a discussion arose
regarding Capt. Clark's fitness for so
import:. at an undertaking. One of
Secretary Long's advisers asked: "Has
Clark persistency sullicient to see him
through V"
"Persistency?" said a Clark advo
cate. "Did you ever see him play
chess?"
No one present had save tho man
who spoke, but he went on to remark
that anyone who took chess so serious
ly as Clark did could be depended upon
to do his best proportionately in great
er matters. Whether or not his advo
cacy of the captain counted for any
thing does not certainly appear, but
it is a fact that a few hours after this
conference orders were sent to Clark
to take the Oregon southward.
