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.
