Z EPHYRUS A Journal Devoted to Literature, School News, Athletics, Etc. VOLUME 1. ASTORIA, OREGON, MARCH, 1905. - ■ NUMBER 1. ONE NiGHT’S HAUL. By Biowden It was the last night of the fishing season. As a rule all the fishermen go out for he last haul, but this night seemed to be an exception. Here and there on the netracks in little groups the fishermen could be seen looking with anxious faces at the sky or the river. Some of the more experienced ones shook their heads omniously. Evening was drawing near; large black clouds completely covered the sky, and not a breath of wind stirred. A calm prevailed — one such as is usu¬ ally follwed by a storm. There is always a greater run of fish when the weather is in this condition. The season had been a poor one, but notwithstanding this few men were willing, in the face of such a threat¬ ening storm, to risk their property or their lives. Among the bolder ones was a John Johnson and his boat-puller, Martin Anderson. They were notorious char¬ acters. This was true especially of Johnson. These men had lived apart from their fellow-fishermen in a lonely scow near the weter’s edge. No one advised them to not attempt the threatening deep, and no surprise was manifested at their setting out from the harbor. As night drew on Johnson and his companion were slowly drifting in their little boat toward the bar. No stars were in the sky. The river was calm and the air was warm and sultry. Davies, ’06. The storm predict'd did not burst in all its fury except on the ocean. An occasional flash of lightning in the distance could be seen from the shore. The roar of the sea was deaf¬ ening. Signals of some ships in dis¬ tress w'ere seen at intervals, and the sound of guns could be faintly heard above the noise of the w’aves. The storm raged all night. As .Johnson and his boat-puller w'ere about to re¬ turn home with almost as many tons of fish as they had caught during the whole season, their boat came almost in contact with a great object which loomed up in the darkness. On close observation this proved to be a badly battered ship, the sails and rigging of which had been torn off by the wind. The current, aided by the tide, had carried it over the bar and now it calmly floated up the river. It seemed as though there was no one on board. These two fishermen, thinking they might find a few articles of value, clambered up the “Jacob’s ladder into the deserted hulk. Shortly the moan of a human voice attracted them to the forecastle. The dim light of the candle which they held and the stillness of the night made the situa¬ tion more uncanny. After hesitating before the door, their better sense gained possession of them, and the two entered the room. In the center, seated on a chest, was
