Miss Minnie Gilbert in Oregon Mehama, Oregon, May 14.— My last letter left me just sailing away from San Francisco. My first sen sation, as the boat started, was one of distinct disappointment, because of the smooth, even, gliding motion of the boat. I thought it raiher tame, and the water looked so dark and muddy or rather light and muddy. The water looked as tho’ there was a large quantity of yel low clay in it. But as we passed out thiough the Golden Gate and into the open sea the boat began to rock quite perceptibly and the water assumed a dark blue appear ance that I had expected and longed to see. We started at 11 o’clock and at 12 we went down to dinner. Soon after we came on deck the chief steward remarked to some of us that in about 15 minutes we would reach some rough water. A gentleman asked where would be a good place to watch it. The stew ard laughingly said, “Right here. It is close to the rail.” Sure enough, it was only a few minutes untill several did begin making good time in getting to it—the.rail, and buy supper time theie were only four ladies on deck and only a few men. Some were not out again till wre got to Portland. When we reached the rough water, was when my greatest enjoy ment began. I don’t winder that the sailors love the sea. I never had anything give me the feeling of [exhilaration, the happy care-free sensation that I experienced during ray nrst atiernoon on tne boat, 1 felt perfectly well, and the only thing that marred my pleasure was the thought that ray friends could not be there to enjoy it with me. I went clear to the bow of the boat and stood there for a long time watching it plow iti way thro’ the water, dashing it aside, while it seethed and boiled into great mass es and waves of foam on either side of the boat. I stood by the rail and time after time the salt spray dashed up into my face. I enjoyed watching the sea gulls. They followed the ships in great numbers and fed from the scraps that are thrown oyerboard after each meal. A gull would pick up a bun qt some other bit of food and start to eat it and then the whole flock would fly after it screaming and trying to take away the deli cacy. He either had to swallow it whole or divide the spoils with his companions, who might as w’ell have been helping themselves to other dainties just as choice. Saturday morning I had to try a good many times before I could get up and stay up, but I managed to go down to breakfast with the few who were able to exert themselves so much. A gentle(?) Nebraska zephyr was blowing. The waves were rolling pretty high, and every wave had its nightcap on. The scene was inspiring, but niy head ached very badly and my stomach felt as though it had caught the motion of the boat, which was both rolling and pitching pretty badly. I laid down for about an hour in the forenoon and about as long in the afternoon, but that was only be cause I had alv.ays been taught that “an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure.” I was not really sick but a few minutes after break fast, By supper time (dinner as they say out here) I was ready for a good meal, The chief steward told me I was a good sailor Saturday, we bad a very good view of a whale,though it was a long distance away. I saw it first, the full length. Then it went under and spouted—“smoked bis pipe”, as the sailors say. After awhile, we saw either the same or another one just lashing the water* into foam with its tail. About sunset we passed great massses of rock rising out of the water, off the Oregon coast. On a little rocky island there was a light house. It must have been lonesome for the keepers. One of the rocks mentioned was quite near the boat. It was very large, but so low in the water the waves broke over it and sent the spray flying in every direc tion. Whenever the spray and foam cleared away for a time, we could see a great number of seals swimming and playing about in the water. Sunday morning two of these swam close by the steamer. Saturday forenoon some one asked the chief engineer if we had reached the Oregon coast. He said, “No; we can always tell when we get to Oregon; it always rains there.” And sure enough, it did begin to rain just about the time wre got that far on our way. Sunday, ab «ut noon, we crossed “The Bar.” That is where the Co lumbia river flows into the Pacific. The water was very rough, and wave after wave dashed over the deck, compelling us all to stay in the parlor, or saloon, as the call it. We ascended the river abiut ten miles to Astoria, where we lay at anchor for three hours or more. We had some pretty views along the river, but as it was 4 o’clock the coming darkness soon closed the scenes. We reached Portland at 1:30 a. m., after a voyage of 800 miles. We wrere 62£ hours on the water. I never before realized it was so far from San Francisco to Portland, nor that Portland was really 110 miles from the coast, and on the Willamette river instead of the Co lumbia, though, of course, near the confluence of the two rivers. We were only out of sightNif land twice, and then only tor a short time, but I remained mosty on the side of the boat away from the land, w’here I could look away | for miles and see nothing but water. I liked to watch the waves. They were less abrupt than I had imag ined. They were, rather, long, un dulating swells and depressions. It wa« thirty feet or more from the crest of one w ave to the crest of an other, but there were smaller waves, so that the whole face of the water was in constant commotion I will now bring my letter to a close, but may write further of my impressions of Oregon and my sur roundings at some fifture date.
