I was on hand early to oversee the loading, but the whole mob refused to commence. There's some union trouble because The Bedford Castle discharged her cargo with scab labor." "In Tacoma?" "No. In Frisco; next to her last trip." "Why, that's ridiculous! What does Captain Peasley say?" "He says I'll have to wait till we're outside before I can repeat what he says."
They entered the station only to find every Jap dead the men of Tacoma had done their duty. Now the clatter of hoofs was heard out in the street. The heavy wagons with their heaps of rifles and long tin boxes full of cartridges were driven up at a mad pace. A wild tumult ensued as the boxes were rushed to the train two men to a box and the doors slammed to.
In the "suffrage department" of the Tacoma News a "kitchen contest" was held, in which 250-word essays on household subjects were printed, $70 in prizes being given by the paper. Suffrage clubs gave programs on "pure food" and "model menus" were exhibited and discussed. Thousands of leaflets on the results of equal suffrage in other States were distributed and original ones printed.
But nothing more of a bearish nature occurs, and the early gloaming finds me at Tacoma, a village near the Utah boundary line. There is an awful calamity of some sort hovering over this village. One can feel it in the air. The habitues of the hotel barroom sit around, listless and glum.
The day proved a nice one, and the Rover boys spent most of the time with the three girls, who were glad of their company once more. All speculated on the question of what had become of the Tacoma, and of what the folks at home would think concerning their prolonged absence. "I'd give a good deal to send a message home," said Dick. "We must cable as soon as we reach shore," added Dora.
Helen's, Mount Tacoma but these terrestrial volcanoes, except in elevation, are mere pins' heads in the comparison. In the eastern part of the Mare Fecunditatis lies a pair of relatively small craters named Messier, which possess particular interest because it has been suspected, though not proved, that a change of form has occurred in one or other of the pair.
All the journals from Cheyenne to the Pacific were now teeming with fulsome praise of the man whose firm hand had guided so many enterprises past all the financial shoals and quicksands of our sweeping tide of speculation. The whole of America now knew how the deceased millionaire had left Tacoma in the ruddy glow of health, his luxurious car attached to the eastward train.
Thence we went to California, and zigzag along the Pacific coast to Tacoma and Seattle; then through the Rocky Mountains to Salt Lake City meeting everywhere interesting men and things, until at Denver I left the party and went back to give my lectures at Stanford. Returning to Cornell University in the early summer I found myself in the midst of my books and happy in resuming my work.
Hallam was trying to remember what he had read about the affray in question in a Tacoma paper, while Damer once more saw in fancy a man spring half-dressed through the wisp of smoke that drifted about a little tent.
