THE ADVANCE 23 the Humboldt Bar and soon had my ten months' cruise completed. On ar- rival, I received a message through the Eureka office that I had been pro- moted to the position of Port Captain for the company. My work now centered around the Bay reions, so I bade my faithful crew goodbye'l, returned to San Francisco, and reported at my employer's office. My duties have proved to be very agreeable, so I have settled myself for a very long stay. Any of my school-mates of 1923 can find me at my office if they care to step in and have a little chat. tl Earl Molandcr assisted by Class of '23

22 THE ADVANCE :hett swinging a very awkward young woman and looked as though he enjoyed it. t???J He was an instructor for the beginners. Charles's next partner was a dandified young man. A tight-fittin g slack and white checkered suit, black patent leather shoes with white spats, and a glowing red necktie to offset his green silk shirt comprised his apparel. As they came by I recognized Samuel Todd. Arcata evidently had become too tame for Sam. While walking past a large publication house, I bumped into Oakland Sechler. He had just sold his last book and was on his way home to get ready for a trip into the solitudes of Alaska to write an essay on The Earth's Crust. He is one of the greatest scientists of the age. Continuing the cruise, I soon sighted the canal zone aud entered Pana- ma. Ancored on the Pacific side was a magnificient steam yacht. Lounging near the rail were Elizabeth Falkinstein and Phyllis Brush. I went over to them. Elizabeth was the wife of a perfume manufacturer. Phyllis was tak- ing a vacation with her after winning fame and glory by her dramatic ability While off the coast near San Diego, the good ship Kantleek lost a propeller blade, so I made San Diego for repairs, Hearing of the auto races in Tia Juana, I became interested. The idol of the race was Clara Le Veque and her Ford. She won the race in view of the fact that she could hold her car on the ground. Up in the grandstand was Mary Smith enjoying a vacat- ion after a strenuous year of teaching in China. Returning through Imperial Valley, I saw Julia Townsend and Ida Vonah helping an old mother ostrich crack the shell of an egg so the little ostrich could be hatched. They appeared to be successful ostrich farmerettes. I put up at the Hotel San Diego and was surprised to see Nina Ensign dressed as a bell hop. She told me that all she had to do was to page the guests and accept their tips. The ship was repaired and in due time I entered San Francisco Bay. I left the mate in charge of the ship and went immediately to my employer. I was shown into his private office where I found him in conference with Andrew Spinas,the President of the Deck-swabbers Union. By his side was his private secretary. Lillian Olsen. She was the highest salaried secretary in the state. During our conversation, Andy mentioned Margaret Murphy's name. Lillian told me thatfMargaret was in great demand by the society ladies of San Franscisco, for she could make a Woman of sixty look like thirty-five or forty. Knowing that my cruise was nearing a close, I made the trip to Eureka with full speed ahead. 'Ihirty-six hours after leaving Golden Gate, I crossed
