The fair metropolis of the Golden
Oato was In gala attire , says the
San Francisco Chronicle. She was cole'
brntlnr * a proud stnto event. Companies
of young men and groups of old men
from different parts of California had as-
Bomblod and wore assisting. It was a
gorgeous and grand affair. AB the pa
geant moved down Market street coming
up from In front of the Chronicle build
Ing , wo stood beholding It , and n Cull-
nlan of mature years , standing by my
sldo , gave expression to the nbovo re
marks. "Wo will see this demonstra
tion through and then f will toll you
Borne experiences which that group of
old Tuolumno fellows has recalled. "
Nothing could have been more magnifi
cent than that varied and long street
parade.
The sun had gene down beneath the
leisurely swell of the old Pacific ocean ,
after Hinging over the hills of San Fran
cisco and sitting upon the roofs and
towers of all her edifices a rich golden
mist which hero and there , upon west
ern window and burnished spire , burned
like molten metal ready for the mint ,
before the story began. In the spacious
courts of the Puluco hotel wo gathered ,
and , seating ourselves in comfortable if
slightly unconventional fashion , my
friend began :
"Wo wore goldsookers in the days of
long ago , my pardnor and I. On that
particular day wo were doing a little
prosncction , but our main occupation
was hunting. Wo got separated after
clumborlng up the Sierras. I heard a
shot to my left , then savage growls , and
the noise of n great struggle. Soon a
crash sounded ns though some bodies
'had fallen with pieces of rock. I hur
ried in the direction of the noifacs , and ,
as I approached , I heard moans in the
distance. Reaching the edge of a preci
pice I looked down , and there I saw my
pardnor. Ho was partially covered with
a rock of largo dimensions about fifteen
feofbolow mo.
"I clumborcd down and succeeded in
removing the rock , when ho fainted
away. Ills leg had been broken and
was partially crushed in the fall , and
the bear which ho haU fought was still
farther down limping away , having
fallen with him but tumbled to ti lower
distance. I gathered him up and
clambered above where there was a.
email rivulet of water. I bathed his
face , examined his limb , and found
him to bo in a critical condition.
I had noticed signs of a lumber
camp in the vicinity and started for It
carrying my pardnor.
"Two men wore there and they assist
ed mo in easing the wounded man. Wo
dressed his log , but the pain which ho
endured wasgroatnnd the wound scorned
to bo of so serious acharactcras to make
us think that possibly amputation would
bo necessary. After awhile I became
convinced that ho must have the care of
a surgeon if we would save his life. Wo
hud exhausted our skill. But where
should wo find a surgeon ?
"There was n small town twenty-seven
miles away at the base of the mountain.
But how could wo roach It and return in
timoV It would take mo nearly five
hours to go clown and not much loss than
that to got back , if I secured horses fern
n portion of the distance , and the opera
tion ought to bo performed without
delay.
"Ton hours ! Ho would be a dead man
in that time if nothing moro was done
for him than what wo could do. One of
the men remarked that if the flume was
In rojmir a person who wished to risk
his life m'ght ' shirt to town down it.
'Just the thing,11 said. 'No. It is out
of repair. Leastwise it has not been ox-
umlticd for some time. Wo wore to have
It inspected in a few days and send down
our logs , ' insisted the logger. But this
man lying there approaching the brink
of death was my padtnor. Wo had sum
mered and wintered together , and ho
was as good us the gold. Ho had be
friended mo when wo were not BO well
acquainted as now. Wo had shared
many perils , and ho Blood foremost , in
my regard , of all men. Besides , ho was
holplcbsnow and in great danger. What
was I as a friend if I would not take
noino risks ? I soon learned that the
llumo- was all right as far as the men
know , only It had not boon inspected for
some time , and It should bo before they
would send down a single log. I made
up my mind to go down the llumo.
"Did you over see ono of these log
flumes of the Sierras ? " I replied that I
had seen Humes which came down from
the mountains to the Columbia river ,
carrying wood for the steamers and also
lumber , and that I had scon those long
flumes which carried water from distant
heights for mining and irrigation pur
poses.
"Well , " said ho , "these log Humes nro
stronger. They are quite common , and
they are from two miles to llfty-Jlvo
miles long. They are constructed in
the shape of a V out of two-inch plank
K-euroly bolted together and placed
Urmly on u trestle. The sldou of the
.Inmo nro about two feet high , and the
ivutor about ton inuhcsdeop that usually
pours down. The decline is quite steep ,
lay eighteen or twenty inches to the
thousand , but in some places much
more than that. This llumo ran some
thing like twcnty-thnoo miles , and the
town , was almost u milo below us. My
fldq was to ho nothing like that which
the millionaires .1. O. Fair and ,1. G.
Flood'-In company with an eastern man ,
unco Indulged in do.vn a Hume flfioen
miles long. They took every pro-
u.uition and made everything as secure
ua possible , having at their disposal u
well constructed boat. But they were
unset , thrown out , and escaped bv only
u liulr'B breadth with their lives. With
I lie BUiilo motlvo It would have been the
very oxtravuganco of folly for mo to
have entertained the idoi of irotng
down this Hume. What madness
was. It then for mo to deliberately do-
tormlno on making that torrlllo do-
tcotiVf uncertain whether the line ol
the llumo was continuous or not ? The
sagging of a-rock , the rotting of n tim
ber , the fall of n tree across It any ono
of llfty possible things would bo enough
to hurl tno Into eternity and thoroughly
thwart my purpose.
"But there was my pardnor , whoso
case was every instant Becoming moro
and moro critical. Ho was growing delir
ious , having brulEod his head In the
fall. My heart was big with grief at
the bare Idea of his death. 1 went out
and examined an old boat which had
been used to take-trips down this llumo.
It would servo my purpose. I was ready
to start. Leaving my pardner in the
care of ono of the men , after tolling him
that I would soon bo back with the doc
tor I came out of ( ho rough log
cabin again in company with the other
man , who was to turn on the floodgates
at the reservoir when I would bo ready.
"Night Had come and n wind from the
south arisen. I noticed n mtiFS of clouds
was rolling around a corner of the moun
tain and Us outer edge had touched the
line of the Hume. And at the same In-
stunt there touched my oars the faint ,
mufllod echoes of thunder. Following
upon tills came a sharp report , which
WHS mocedod by an ugly thrust of
lightning , which seemed to cut through
my path. I adjusted my boat and told
the man I was ready. The old reservoir
gate creaked ns the man worked at it.
A thin stream of water came at first
sweeping beneath my boat , I was ( Irmly
fixed within watching the vhito line as
It shot ahead of mo. The stream in
creased. It touched my bout. The
next Instant the full tide struck mo and
away I shot. It fairly took my breath
away for the first few iods. The velocity
and the fall gave mo a sinking sensa
tion , and my brain began to reel , whllo
everything began to run together In a
universal chaos about mo. I know only
enough to hold on tight whllodownwtird
I spun like a projectile hurled from a
cannon's mouth. Out of this dazed con
dition of mind and sickness of heart I
was jerked by a sudden jump of my boat.
The line had sagged , causing an un-
ovonness. But the decline was so great
that the waters plunged across and my
boat leaped the break and struck the
other end of.tho llumo , malting the
water spout 'up for sixty foot. Then
thcio was a tremendous jostling for n
moment. I received n splash of the
water full In the face , which revived mo.
Thereafter the perils , known and un
known , and the terrible rush only stimu
lated my facultioa
"I was now swinging along like light
ning in the full light of the moon. The
swiftly moving panorama of trees , of
wide-reachinglorcsts , of rocks , of yawn
ing chasms all stood out with terrible
distinctness. The flume wont straight
forawhllothon it curved and skirted the
edge of a precipice which overlooked
what seemed a bottomless abyss. Ahead
was an enormous rock. Against It I ap
peared to bo rushing , when Hko a Hash
the boat seemed to strangely evade It
and cling toils perpendicular sides , for
the llumo was bracketed against the
dead wall , and beneath there was only
an unfathomable depth of darkness. On
to the solid but stoop sides of the moun-
tuln the boat came with a bound again.
Then there was a frightful drop ; it
scorned straight down , as though the
bottom hud fallen out of everything in
general , and the llurao in particular.
Myl how the water dashed and tore
when the boat struck the moro moderate
decline. Across an awful chasm it shot ,
and what a roar rose , berne up by the
chilling winds which struck mo thuro
for a instant , making my teeth
chatter. Once or twice after I started I
had heard the boom of distant thunder !
Into this thunder cloud my boat wont
with its own roar. The moon was ob
scured and the cloud was so dense that I
could see nothing. It was simply the
blackness of darkness. The gloom ap
peared opaque , Impervious to an.v light.
But th'o "crackling of the electricity was
going on all about mo. Then came a
leafoning explosion. This was followed
jy ono oven moro oar-splitting. For a
jriof period the lightning illuminated
, ho dense cloud and made it seem Hko
fine mist.
"My mad rush downward , in the midst
of those rolling vaporeof inky blackness ,
uguln and again llarlng frightfully into
lurid hues , all a-tromor with the crash
ing detonation of the lightning , was tome
mo the most realistic illustration of what
i lost soul might pass through in hurl-
intr itself into the infernal regions. A
strange awe crept over me. The
uncertainty of my own fate settled
a. bodeful depression upon my
spirits. Every Instant I expected my
rickety boat to collide with some ob
struction , or strike an opening , or jump
from the llumo and hurl mo into an un
recognizable mass upon the rocks. Then
the realization of the spectacle of my
pardnor hovering between life and
death , whom , it seemed , I loved hotter
than my own life , would glvo new roso-
lulion to my spirit , and I would throw
oil these dismal premonitions. 1 was in
the folds of this thunder cloud but a
very brief period ; but on such occasions
of great peril the mind works with pre
ternatural activity , and it seemed that I
would never got out of itT I strained
my eyes ahead , but could not see a
hand's breadth In front of mo , and oven
when the lighting illuminated the cloud
the mist gave the llumo a short dis
tance before mo a crhostlv nnnoaranco.
which did not servo to rop.fesuro mo.
"But at last I leaped out of the cloud
into the full shining of the moon , for I
was near the other edge of it , and than
I wont skimming alone : the edge of a
precipice whoso grim walls opposite
mo rene up out of Bight. A thunderbolt
just Ihon smote these towering crags ,
and Immense rocks wore spilt from their
bides and came tumbling down right before -
fore mo. It seemed that the mountain
was falling , und the reverberations of
thnt bolt wont rolling ever my head
and all about the upper peaks , while the
rock slides as they struck the bottom
tom of the chasm beneath
made the whole earth tremble.
After It all my astonishment grow to
think I was still hurry ing safely on with
my message of help for a dying com
rade , with the Bpood of Mercury him

"I was now shooting through vast
forests. I caught the gleam of n small
stream flowing by my side. Surely I
must bo approaching the end of my
journey , I thought. A cablr p ibarcd
it ml disappeared like .1 Hash lulspod
on. Then m.f anxiety was aroused
anew as I wondered whether the pond
into which the logs were dumped by the
tluino was clear. In a moment it was
in full Bighf. Horrors upon hor-
rorsl Logs floated all about upon
Us surface. I was going to certain de
struction. But that thought , with its
paralyzing olTect , gave way to the
thought of my pardner's need , and at
once I said : 'I must not got killed , for I
tole him I would get buck BOOH with the
surgeon. "
"My purpose wns Hko an Inspiration ,
As I approached with the speed of light
ning this pond , every inch of it wont
under my swift inspection. 1 calculated
the leap of my boat from what I saw of
the spring of thowiitors from the llumo'a
mouth. 1 saw an opening in the logs
beyond. On my boat tore. All fear
seemed to vanish from ray mind. As
my boat shot from the end of iho llumo
I rose with a tremendous leap to my
right and struck the clear water. It
seemed that I never would Vouch the
bottom o ( the lake. Then I began to
rise. I emerged above the surface. I
was on the logs instantly. Over them 1
went jumping. I reached the shore ,
mot a man , asked for the surgeon , found
his house near by , delivered my mes
sage , saw him and another man leap
Into their saddles , got into my saddle ,
started'for my sick pardnor , then ovofy-
thing became a blank.
"It wns morning down there when 1
came to again. I hndMruck something
when I leaped and suffered eomo'bruisca
of which I was not until then awaro. I
ought to have been killed according to
n calm view of the experience in the
pond. For I was going at the rate of
two miles n minute1) when I plunged in
the dsscont of twenty-three m'.les was
made In twelve minutes. 1 would cer
tainly have boon tv dead man six times
ever , but my pardnor gave mo inspira
tion and nerve to balk commonplace
conclusions. The surgeon and his com
panion wont on , renchcu the cabin ,
treated my pnrdni'r.
"Ho recovered. And , when conval
escing , ho went down to old Tuolumno.
Well , time passes. Life is common-
plnco enough. But wo do not know
what wo are capable of until wo nro
roused to help these wo lovo. "
A smllo played ever the seamed feat
ures of the old California ! ! as ho con
cluded his recital. A hush fell upon
our Httlo group. Out from ono of the
parlors of the hotel floated the notes of
a sweet voice singing "Auld Lang
Syno. " Than the chorus was taken up
by strong -voices , amontr which you
could distinguish the heavy bass of
men ,
The emotion which charged these
voices made our hearts thrill ns wo
recognized the fact that sturdy pioneers
were Binglng. A faraway loo' < gazed
out of the eyes of our friend , His face
seemed to undergo a now transforma
tion. The days of long ago spread out
before him mellowed with the golden
hue of a true comradeship. Into that
fair region his spirit wont alono. Wo
could not follow mm. As the song dlod

into the eyes of the stalwart man.
