The Editor of the News Visits his Former home The News man boarded the Cottage j City last week for a trip to Fort \Vrun gel our former home. The run down ! was without incident except only, that we were for five or six hours a short [ distance this side of the narrows. The night was dark, the fog heavy and there was quite a sea running. There being a fair wind, when the captain concluded to lay too, he turiKKl the vessel's head to the wind and in making the turn, the huge boat gave several of those in describable lateral rolls that shook up the dishes in great shape. Everybody} was in bed and there was no seasick ness, for anybody with a spark of sense !n 1 4 '"liilo IfitllT dou'll Will UOl mu n niiiiv tuf, v. v. .. ... The Cottage City is a very nice boat, i roomy aud comfortable, and she carries a great big, red cheeked, handsome stewardess that is however, the nicest thing on the vessel. At Wrangelour stay was short, but we did have time to see a few of the boys. 4%Dad" St rouse looks as natural as an old slipper and he is as jolly and good naturod as ever. Duucan McKin non still possesses the ability of telling a good story, aud his three clerks. Jack Collins, Donald Siuclaire, and Eugene Haw, wait on the customers the same as of old. Reid and Sylvester, two of the best meu that ever lived, are still having a good trade at the old : stand. J. E. Sales looks happy, but don't want to fool around with giant powder any more. Mr. Whitney, the clerk, is all right and swears by Wrau ("inn?? TtlonmImrdt is as iollv and fid. uvv?bv ? , pood natured as ever, except when you talk about his Juneau lawyer. Capt. Eldridge, who wanted to join his regi meut at Manila, is still 011 duty, and now that the war is closed, is reasona bly happy. Judge Tustiu was seen at his office, but was not dispensing jus tice while we were in the city. He is the best Commissioner in all Alaska. Deputy Marshal Grant, the best satis fied man in the city, has his charming wife and children with him in his fine residence 011 the hill. Judge Sund macher was warming his shins at Dr. Campbell's stove when we saw him. Ho ought to be happy for he, Tustin, Clark and Iugersoll are the only att'ys left. Mr. James Ker of the Troup wharf is as genial and pleasant as ever. Our friend Komer of the McKinnon wharf is still in evidence. He goes along about his business in a quiet way, but at the same time, he is one of the braiuiest men in all Alaska. Yes, we saw a few of the boys and they are a jolly let of fellows, but our space will not permit naming all we met. We returned 011 the Dirigo. You have all htard of the Takii wind. Well, we struck it, or rather it struck the boat. The Dirigo didn't roll sideways, it was the other way. We didn't get seasick !>ccause the vessel quit lunging three minutes before our turn came. You ought to have seen them skedaddling to their state rooms. One of the lady passengers didn't have time to get to her room so she made au awful rush for the side door. She leaned over the railing and in less than three-quarters of a second she got rid of a dinner that it had taken her three-quarters of an hour to store away. She reminded us of the woman, who, in describing a sim ilar experience, said that she knew she had a strong stomach because she could throw it as far as any of them. After we passed the mouth of the Taku the sea was calm and the passengers got to gether again and laughed over their ex periences. y ( ? Glad to pet home? Why, of course, "There's no place like home.*' Wran- : T pel is a nice little town, quiet now, but it will come out all right in the spring when the ground settles. We regret that we could not visit our friend Wil ton of the Journal. We looked in and said "ve gates lontsman,M and intended to return and read some of his proofs or pi some type, but our time did not permit of it. See 1'*. M.

Bell at tlie wheel. ^ Several passengers, of both sexes.board- 1 ed the saucy little craft, after which she started for Juneau. The little en- j * gine was merrily pull ing away and the * Lone Fisherman was rocking to and * fro. but cutting t he water with ease and ; J rushing along as though a torpodo a boat was in pursuit. The sea was rath er heavy, but uot dangerously rough, v however, and when a short distance i j from the wharf she had just left, the rudder went to pieces and the little n craft paid no further attention to the r .?;,.Ai.nne iif t iu? wheel. Tlie boat > V/UO v\?4 *.*? V..V. j "took to the woods" on the opposite j u side of the channel, or rather she drift- \ ed off in that direction which frightened J sonio of the passengers noarly to death. ; A young lady from this city was near- i I ly paralyzed with fear, regardless of 1 , the assurances of kind hearted Capt. j 1 ! Bell. There are a few old "sea dogs" j who can run a boat without a rudder, j1 j there are not many that can do it, but [ j I Capt. Bell is one of them, and what did (1 he do? Why, he just took the Lone j< j Fisherman up to the Juneau landing j and saw all the passengers safely on the s wharf. The young lady referred to was a overjoyed when she saw the boat tied 1 up to the wharf and she made one grand I rush for Capt. Boll and she didnt do a ' i I thing to him but kiss him, yes, she ' 1 kissed him good and hard, in a regular j \ a la Ilobson manner. The Captain,? blushed, in fact he turned all kinds of colors. The News man spoke to him j ] about the matter, but all ho said was .> j "yum yum." i Wo hate to do it but we must. Every-1 ? thing goes at cost or under at Frank :1 ! Bach's. J See F. M.
