A CRUISE ON THE MOKELUMNE. 



AND I had been making cruises for tbe last two years, but t 

 , fortunately they were most ail made in my dining-room, wi 

 legs ''under the niahogony" (for I possess one of those relics o 



,ne time, a mahogany dining table), and consequently we nev 

 very far. 



only the n 



ned to do something to save our credit, I proposed to F. a 

 fide cruise, but F. had meanwhile proposed to a young lady, 

 lomhined with a recent capsize on his part, upset our plans, 

 ipelled him, as he thought, to decline the adventure. Made 

 ore determined by this defection. I accepted the invita- 

 _ friend to take a trip to his ranch on the Mokalumne 

 among the tules, and one Saturday afternoon, placing my eanoe in 

 water and donning a new jacket and sno y-white canvas belt, pre- 

 pared in honor of the occasion, set sail from the boat-house of the 

 San Francisco Canoe Club, with a chipping breeze.

 When it is a question of dignity or ducking, dignity has to go to the

 cautioned by some venerable Individual on tbe wharf in stentorian 

 tones to have a care for one's personal safety, when one feels, nay,

 as a sort of forlorn hope, I asked him if in his peregrinations he had 

 seen aught of her. He hadn't; my spirits sank, but he heard that 



the barge was di.-ehargine at foisoni street, rly spirits rose again, 

 but then it was a deuccdlv long pull to fadsom street, against the 

 tide and getting late, and no certainty at I hat. "Nothing venture, 

 nothing win," thought I, and if I don't flail her. I'll have a booming 

 tide to come home with. Settling myself to business I worked my 

 way along, hugging the wharves ami looking for eddies, thinking all 

 the' time what, a juJIi -place this would be for canoeing, if the wind 

 did not blow- hurricanes all summer, ami the tide did not tear and 

 churn so anion-- the piles, until the dismantled shed falling to pieces 

 over Folsom street wharf, where m the old times the Constitution, 

 the Golden Age, the Golden Gate, the John L. Stephens, the

 were wont to make things lively, hove in sight. There, sure enough,
