A REVELATION FROM THE
DEMON OF GOAT ISLAND
B"V "W. O. MORROW.
It had been a hard, bitter, heart-break
ing struggle, but after the fight had been
made and won a vast, indescribable peace
had fallen upon me, and I was ready for
the end. Strangely enough it did not
occur to me to reflect why I selected a
ferry-boat for the scene of the deed, nor
why at the final moment I prepared for
the leap when the boat was exactly oppo
site Goat Island. I remember merely
that in a numb, dull state of peace I
scanned the forward upper deck to see
that I was not observed; then stepped
upon the seat, placed one foot on the rail
and in another moment would have been
in the water and under the heavy blows of
the paddle-wheel, when what I then took
to be a strong hand seized me by the
shoulder and forced me upon the seat, and
what I then supposed was a voice hoarsely
whispered in my ear:
"Not now, my friend. I have been
merely trying you. Meet me at 11 o'clock
to-night in the Light of Goat Island and I
will tell you a wonderful thing. Do not
fail. Be sure to meet me."
My recollection of the events immedi
ately succeeding that incident is dull and
opaque, but it is this: I felt no surprise at
this strange interruption and was singu
larly indifferent to a sensation of alarm
upon observing an exceedingly tall figure,
cloaked and cowled from head to foot in a
close-clinging garment, leap overboard
and plunge without splash or ripple into
the bay. That disposed of I can narrate the
after events with a reasonably sure de
pendence upon the evidence of my senses.
An aching sickness accompanied with a vio
lent rigor came upon me after the deadly
numbness had passed away. By that time
I was on the train speeding up the mole to
Oakland. The ague wa.s so alarming that
1 thought myself shaking to pieces. In
frightened desperation I sprang to my feet
and leape^ from the train iust as it reached
the shore, and was thrown headlong to the
ground. The fall stunned and bruised me,
but there must have been born within me
a purpose so eager that it forcibly brought
me back to consciousness. The rigor then
was gone and in its place came a prodigious
excess of energy. I ran furiously by dark
streets for two good miles and then paused ;
but the run had exhausted the eagerness
of my legb only ; my arms now clamored
for exercise of a violent kind. I beat the
air with them, and theu, trying their
strength on a convenient fence, was dis
mayed to tind the ornate cast-iron
structure break like a lattice of twigs in
my hand. That alarmed me and made me
lay a chect on my fury.
The purpose within me had not yet
forced itseif into the range of my outer
consciousness, but I know now that it
must have been at work within me from
the moment when the shadowy figure
leaped over the rail. At any event, after
having traversed miles in my swift going,
I found myself at a place where small
boats were tied up to a wharf. It may be
of interest to say now that I have not
been able to find that place again. I know
only that I tore a boat loose, pushed
out into the bay and began to row with a
Strength so great that, had I not re
strained it, the oars or the rowiocks would
have snapped. I was heading straight
down the bay. rowing at an acute an>?ie
away from the shore and passing close
tinder the end of the long mole that juts
far out into the bay north of the one
where the ferry-boat lands. A sharp
wind was coming up through the Golden
Gate, and it so deeply chopped the water
as to lend some peril to my expedition. 1
had never made that trip before, but my
memory assures me now that I went for
ward without the least hesitation or fear
and without once looking round to see if I
was taking a rational course. Although
the spray wetted mo to the skin and the
mouth of the wind was filied with hungry
teeth I felt no cold, lmt instead a furious,
hot eagerness tiiat kept my marrow
aglow.
It did not surprise me in the least to see
presently the dancing sheen that came
over the water from the mild dioptricon
eve which peered into the darkness from
the Goat Island lighthouse, nor to observe
soon afterward that I was passing the
wharf upon which were resting big red
topped buoys waiting for service in the
outer sea. And when my boat grounded
upon the narro.v sand beach in the cove of
the island, opposite the low saddle which
connects the large body of the island with
its uplifted tail. I felt that everything was
natural, ordinary ar.d tit. I did not even
look round to see if
But it was there. And my observance
of the fact brought the first of those defi
nite sensations which the presence of a
mystery or a danger— and every mystery
is a danger— sets in order.
There was no mistaking the extraordi
narily long, lean figure, closely cloaked
And hooded, even though it was folded
grotesquely in a sitting posture on the
6and, its long arms clasping the knees, in
which the face was buried. The wind did
not fret the water in the bight, but the
outer waves came rolling gently in and
broke softly on the beach. The stars were
bright, and the light from them and from
the distant lamps on the mole brought out
ihe strange crouched figure with sufficient
distinctness to show it as a sharp silhouette
on the yellow sand.
I stood in silent expectancy /% few yards
away. Presently a voice issued from the
figure.
"You have come," it said.
"I have."
"Are you afraid?"
To challenge a man's fear is to restore
hiscouraee. "No," I answered.
The tall figure, seemingly now mon
strously high, slowly rose and turned to
face me.
"Why," it asked, "did you select that
epot for killing yourself?"
I was confused and silent. The figure
then laughed with a solemn, somber glee,
and exclaimed:
"Why do the suicides from the boats
always select, that particular spot?
What fools you wretched mortals are!
There is not one of you with the under
standing to guess that behind each and
every physical agency selected for suicidal
'use there is a mystery that reaches beyond
the stars and a purpose that issues from,
the very heart of creation. Can you im
agine that?"
"Hardly so well," I replied, "as that you
are either a fool yourself or are attempt
ing to make one of me."
The laughter which this sally evoked
was unmistakably merry, and it angered
me.
"Come," said I, "you promised to tell
me some wonderful tilings if I would meet
you here to-night. As you have shown a
disposition to trifle with me, I will inform
you now that you inspire in me neither re
spect nor fear. If you are not the shpm
and mountebank that you seem to be, pro
ceed with your business."
The effect of this speech astounded me.
The figure visibly shrank and trembled,
and for a moment I thought that it was
cowed. But not so. It threw up its arms
despairingly aud in the saddest voice that
I had ever heard spoke thus:
"I am grieved beyond measure to dis
cover that I have mistaken you. I had
hoped that you, whom I have studied so
closely and into whose heart put every
impulse that has worked to bring
you here to-night, had the charac
ter and wisdom to desire knowl
edge of mysteries which few mortals can
penetrate. But I have erred. You will
think that even this sudden change in my
demeanor is a new trap set for
you. Do not interrupt me! I will
not tell you now the many things
which, had you been of a different tem
perament, would have brought you wis
dom. But as you have been faithful and
couraEeous in coming to me I will carry
out one part of my plan. That is to give
you an experience to-night which may or
may not gratify thp lower nature that I
fmd to dominate you. Let us wait here in
silence a little while."
I can say of the effect which this speech
had on me that it filled me with a soreness
of spirit of a strange and hurting kind.
It was not the rash, petulant and numb
despair which had driven me to the rail of
the boat, nor yet the fierce agony which
had brought on the rigor. It was simply a
sinking into unfathomable depths.
The tall figure was again huddled on the
sand, but now looking steadily out over
the water. I could not speak, but stood in
something like a painful trance.
"You may go now," the figure presently
said, with a strangely sweet and tender
mournfulness which seemed to issue from
a heart whose most precious hope had
been dashed to the ground. As I was
seating myself in the boat and grasping
the oars, the figure added : "Row straight
for the course of the Oaklard-bound
boat. You will intercept the last one to
cross to-night. Near it you will see some
thing that will be of interest to you. You
will remember me then and afterward.
Good-night."
Mechanically- in spite of a powerful im
pulse which irfged me to remain and if
possible to retrieve myself in the estima
tion of this strance creature, I threw my
strength into the oars and my boat
bounded forward. The figure on the sand
rose to its full height and watched me,
and across the water sent this wailing
message to me:
"You will remember me when you see it,
and then you will reflect that Death may
be the best friend that a mortal being can
find."
And then the figure crouched again upon
the yellow sand and watched the silent
water.
I pulled straight for the course of the
Oakland-bound boat, looking neither to
the right nor left. Whatever disaster
might have come from this lack of caution
was averted by a shoutinc: ahead which
took all volition out of my arms. Rest
ing my oars 1 looked round and
saw the long lines of light on
the Oakland-bound boat broken by scur
rying crowds, and observed the steamer
laboring heavily under reversed engines.
A boat dropped from its davits into the
water and oars squeaked in their rowlocks.
Ana so lor the thousandth time it had
happened— exactly opposite the. Wand I
Too far away now to see what might stiil
have been crouched on the sand of the
bight, I realized that one more call had
issued thence. For whom this time?
In that great roaring city, whose mystical
lines of lights mounted its towering
hills and sent their sheen danc
ing dyer the waves, had there been
another man, as I, driven to seek
death by the perfidy of a woman?
Was there another woman in all the
world so cruel, so heartless, so con
scienceless as she? Was there another
with brown eyes so soft, with voice so al
luring, with glorious bmwn hair so rich in
coloring, with lips bearing such a wealth
of poisoned honey, and with a soul colder
than the ice-caverns of Shasta? And if
there were such another, had she thrown
herself so deeply into a strong man's life
that when she had ruthlessly, cruelly,
heartlessly torn herself out it left him
riven and an eager seeker for repose
in death ? If so, curses on her — a thousand
curses on her! And may she, as well as
he whom she has driven to his death, be
driven similarly, if God has been so benefi
cent as to have given her a conscience
able to suffer fiercer torturings than life
can bear !
Should I help to save him? A thousand
times— no! Would that I were in his
place and that the specter of the island
had not laid a check upon my purpose.
But wherefore this itching of the arms to
row? Was I not already exhausted and
ailine? Why hands so rebellious that
they seized the oars, why arms filled with
strength so fierce that they sent my drift
ing boat bounding furiously forward?
There was something writhing and gasp
ing in the water. 1 was nearer to it than
we^Ve the sailors who were pulling bo
strongly from the steamer. With eager
leaps from wave to wave, my boat pursued
its course, and presently a sharp, backward
thrust of the oars stopped me near— —
Not a man, but a woman. Then the
most wonderful of tragedies required but
the smallest fraction of a second
for its enactment. In that moment
I saw a pair of soft brown
eyes staring horribly into the open
jaws of death, glorious brown hair
that had been rich in coloring and
abundance now streaming in bedrag
gled strands, and lips that had borne
a wealth of poisoned honey now drawn in
terror and despair. But beyond and clearer
than all that were one agonized look
toward me of recognition ana contrition, a
glance informing me that my letter an
nouncing my purpose had been read and
had unlocked the steel door of her con
science and a desperate outreaching
for my delivering and consoling arms.
Then, before I could come near, she sank
from my view forever.
THIS MEANS A HARD WINTER.
The Hudson Bay Wolves Coming South
in Great Droves.
Recent dispatches from Chamberlain, S.
D., told of the unusually large number of
wolves in that vicinity and on the cattle
ranges west of the Missouri River. Reports
from many other portions of South Dakota
Bhow that wolves were never so plentiful
as they are at present, aays the Chicago
Herald. Serious loss has been experienced
by stockmen in the western part of the
State, and even in the eastern part depre
dations are constantly Increasing.
The wolves are not the common coyotes,
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUJNDAI, DECEMBER 8, 1895.
but are the large gray timber wolves, and
some of them that have been killed are
monsters. They are capable of overpow
ering a two-year-old steer with apparent
ease. At one point in the northern por
tion of the State seventeen wolves wero
recent'y counted in a single pack feeding
on the carcass of a horse. Since the set
tlement of the country no such thing has
ever before been known, and a gray wolf
has always been a rarity east of the Mis
souri River.
There must be a reason for this sudden
influx of dangerous animals, and old trap
pers who have spent their lives in the
Northwestern wilderness have an explana
tion for it. They say that the wolves
come from the extreme north, away up in
the woods of Alberta and the vicinity of
Hudson Bay, and that the migration is
the result of that mysterious and unerring
instinct which sways wild animals. This
southward migration of the wolves, ac
cording to the trappers, is always said to
presage a severe winter and a phenomenal
snowfall which will prevent the animals
from obtaining food in their customary
haunts.
While this visitation of wolves may no±
be particularly enjoyed by the stockme"
it is believed to be agood sign for the hus
bandmen. In their opinion it means that
the ground the coming winter will be cov
ered as in the memorable winter of 1880-81,
to a depth of four or five feet in snow, and
when the snow melts in the spring the
country will be inundated with a deluge of
wat^r which will soak the subsoil to a
great depth, fill up the old lake beds and
thus insure favorable crop seasons.
DOCKERY STILL AT WORK
Sharp Dairymen Tamper With
the Never-Failing Babcock
Tester.
They Break the Cogs and Steal the Al
cohol Lamp — Both Milk and
Meat Seized.
If the dairymen imagine that the Milk
Inspector is resting on his honors they are
very much mistaken, Scarcely a night
passes that Mr. Dockery is not somewhere
on the road — say in the Mission, or the
Richmond District, or pirouatting among
the cheap restaurants or bakeries.
Yesterday morning at 2:UO o'clock the
inspector began another of his night raids,
and in many respects it was the most re
markable yet undertaken. He not only
(lumped a considerable quantity of milk,
but came across a dealer bringing into
market immature veal. In addition to
this some milkman got away with his
alcohol stove and so crippled the Babcock
tester as to necessitate a trip to the new
City Hall for a new machine.
Between .'} and 4 o'clock in the morning
Mr. Dockery held up some twelve or fifteen
wagons, contenting himself, however, with
merely taking sample?. Shortly after 4
o'clock he made a stand on Lurkin street,
between O'Farrell and Geary, and then the
fun began. As the wagons came by they
were halted aijd driven up a side streef.
In a short while some hfteen wagons
blocked the narrow thoroughfare, and then
the supposed fun began.
Selecting the wagons in the order of their
arrival he soon had the little portable Bal>
cock loaded for business. But that is as
far as he got, however. When it came to
turning the crank it only made
half a revolution. An investigation
showed that some miscreant had
knocked off a couple of the cogs
temporarily disabling ihe machine. In
addition to this the alcohol stove had dis
appeared. There was nothing to do but
let. the wagons go. as it would take fully
an hour to repair the damage. Before this
was done, however, a sample was secured
from each wagon. These will be sub
mitted to Bacteriologist Spencer, and Mr.
Dockery thinks a number of arrests will
follow.
About 5 o'clock in the morning the In
spector received another Babcock tester,
and shortly after its arrival a wagon be
longing to P. F. E. Steiner came up.
Every can in the wagon, eighteen all told,
was tested and only one came within the
standard. In .-pite of the vain protests of
♦he driver the seventeen cans soon mixed
with the mud and slush ol the cutter.
Earlier in the morning Dockery came
across a milk wagon having on board an
immature calf. The meat was seized and
condemned. The man gave his name as
Schwartz and his place of business as a
dairy out on the San Bruno road. It de
velops now that there is no such man as
that'in the business, and so Meat Inspector
Davis has lost an excellent opportunity of
making an example or some one who,
under the coverof selling milk, is making
a few pennies on the outside by bringing
meat unfit for human food into* the mar
kets.
THAT PROMISED STORM.
Forecast Official liunniion Says It
Came .i.i-s .•:, Antici
pated.
Forecast Official W. H. Ha'mmon says
San Francisco got all the storm it bad
any reason to expect by reason of his pre-.
dictions ofWcdncsday last.
"The apparent disappointment which
the people entertain because it did not
'blow ereat guns' here Thursday," he ex
plained yesterday, "is due to a misunder
standing of the forecast, although it was |
correctly reported in the papers. I did i
say that there would be severe L-ales, com
mencing Wednesday night, but I did not
say they would be in this City. What 1
did say was that the storm would be along
the coast from Point Arena north, and
that there would be rain about as far
south as Santa Cruz alone the coast and
Stockton in the interior. The storm came
almost precisely as I had indicated. Off
Point Arena the wind reached a maximum
velocity of forty-eight miles, and along the
Washington coast it reached a maximum
of about fifty-five miles.
"In this City the weather was practically
what I anticipated. We were just on the
edge of the storm, near enough to get the
rain, but not sufficiently in its range to
experience the gales. There was no storm
signal exhibited here. The signal we put
out was what we call an information sin
! nal. This is a red pennant and it indicates
that we have information of a storm at
some other point than that where the sig
nal i<« flown, but sufficiently near to in
terest. shipping. It distinctly indicates
that a storm is not expected where the
pennant is displayed.
"In every respect, as a careful studvof
the forecast will show, the storm was just
what we predicted."
A WOMAN TRUANT OFFICER.
The Committee on Plan of Work Drafts
an Oii'liii" for Action.
The Women's Federation for Public
Good is determined to have an inspector.
It likes the name and if the province of
such an inspector may not include the do
main of morals it may that of sanitation,
so it argues, and the body will continue to
agitate the question of the appointment of
such an inspector.
That is the course advised by the com
mittee on plan of work, which met at the
W. C. T. D. headquarters yesterday. The
inspector's duties should be to look after
the cleanliness of homes, the committee
believes. It was recommended that the
aid of the teachers in public schools should
be enlisted in the matter of house visita
tion.
A woman truant officer, to look after
cases of children who do not regularly at
tend school, was also suggested."
A lamp should be tilled quite full every
day, and thus used will burn one wick
many times as long as if it were only
filled with oil when absolutely required.
TO STOP CITY BURIALS
The Health Committee of the
Board of Supervisors Take
Action.
AN ADVERSE MINORITY REPORT.
A Strong Fight Over the Question Is
Expected at the Next Meeting
of the Board.
The residents of Richmond district have
so far succeeded in their efforts to stop the
burial of dead bodies within the City lim
its that the Board of Supervisors will take
up the question, even if the Board of
Health is silent on the subject. The Com
mittee on Health and Police at the next
meeting of the board will recommend that
it be unlawful to bury the dead in any
cemetery or elsewhere within the City
except in lots already purchased for that
purpose. This would prevent the sale of
burial lots, but will not prevent the use
for interment of lots owned by private par
ties in the cemeteries.
The burial question has been before the
committee for several weeks, being pushed
by the Richmond District Property-own
ers' Association. They held that the cem
eteries were a menace not only to the
whole City, but especially to them, from
the elevation of the burial lots on. the hills
near to and above their locality. Rain
water was shed down during the wet
season from the sandy soil of the graves,
and even the air was heavy with the gases
of decaying matter. There was some op
position to the proposed removal of the
cemeteries from the proprietors, but Super
visors Isenjamin, Dunker and Morgen
stern voted in favor of the resolution to
recommend no more lot sales.
A minority report was submitted by
Pimond and King, favoring the prohibi
tion of the establishment of any more
cenieteries within the City limits, but per
mitting the use of all the land now in
closed as cemeteries. They contend that
the majority resolution to be proposed to
the board would practically coefiscate the
unsold land of the cemetery companies.
The question will be warmly debated by
both parties before the next meeting of
the board.
"We do not wish to cnuse needless ex
pense to those who have bought burial
lots in the cemeteries," said Secretary
llubbs of the association, "but we must
put some check on City interments. Three
or four crowded graveyards in this big grow
ing place are too much. In all the large
cities of the United States where the liv
ing have encroached upon the dead the
graveyards had to go. Of course the re
moval was opposed by those who owned
lots there, but their scltishness didn't
check the march of progress nor the action
of intelligent health boards, which decided
that sanitary measures were of more im
portance than sentiment.
"Our living City's health demands that
these dead cities on the hills must be re
moved, ana sooner or later it will be done.
What handsome building snots those
slopes would make if all the bodies were
removed. Some of these cemeteries are
old and in poor repair, especially the an
cient walled graveyard on Geary street on
the line of the cars running to the park
and Cliff House. What a cheerful sight
those old, wooden, broken-down palings
are to the visitor and tourist from the
East.
"I understand certain Supervisors are
in favor of prohibiting the establishment
of any more cemeteries in the City, but
letting the ones now here go ahead and
fill up. That is tue joker inrteed. 01
course, those Supervisors well know that
no more cemeteries will be established in
the City anyhow, as there is no land for
that purpose. There is no reed of wasting
time passing ordinances to regulate a
matter that will regulate itself. They
speak <^f confiscation. Well, better a few
lots lie idle than an epidemic visit the
City. I would prefer to see all those
bodies taken up and buried elsewhere, that
the lots could be improved and put to
other uses, but we'll take what, we can get
now, and get the rest when we can."
LITTLE GIKLS DETAINED.
Emma Marchand and Lilly Breadhoff
Hold in Very Heavy Bonds.
The application to release Emma Mar
chand and Lilly Breadhoff, two of the grls
who testified against Captain Lane and
Leon Jl. Meyers, was renewed before Judge
Campbell yesterday morning by Attorney
P. A. Bergerot.
The Judge, after thinking over the mat
ter, made an order to release them on $10,
--000 bonds in each case. As the Marchand
>;irl testified in two cases her bonds will be
$'20,000. Tne bonds have not yet been ac
cented, and will not be for a day or two.
Several ladies belon^in^ to tne Women's
Federation were in court, as they are tak
ing an active interest in the question as to
whether these girls will be turned over to
the custody of their parents before the
trial of Lane and Meyers is held ju the Su
perior Court.
The question of guardianship for these
two girls and others who testified has not
yet been decided by Judge Coffey, but it is
expected that he will give his decision to
morrow.
The matter of the demurrer introduced
by Carroll Cook in the case of Leon R.
Meyers came up before Judee Campbell
yesterday and was continued for a week.
Meantime Cook and Prosecuting Attorney
Forbes will file briefs.
