-PREFACE
-
-
-
-
-This little Tale is founded upon the well-known tradition,
-prevalent among the old inhabitants, that where the Golden Gate now
-is was once dammed up by a rock or rocks, and the whole Valley was
-a great inland sea with its entrance to the Ocean down near
-Monterey. The writer has seen, on Ohio Street, in this City, (which
-in 1850 was quite an elevated spot of ground,) the black
-sedimentary earth, at least two feet thick, which abounds in
-greater or less degree throughout the Valley, and which readily
-accounts for the wonderful fertility of the soil.
-
-
-San Francisco, December, 1868.
-
-
-
-Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1868, by Chas. P.
-Kimball, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the
-Northern District of California.

-THE SAN FRANCISCO FAIRY
-
-
-  LONG years ago, ere Spaniards lived on California soil,
-  An Indian of the Digger tribe was resting from his toil;
-  He lived beside an inland sea, or lake, so wondrous large
-  No one could look from shore to shore--a day's sail for a barge.
-
-  This Indian was a happy dog, of threescore years and eight,
-  Of children he had half a score, also an aged mate;
-  His youngest was Li-Lamboni, a petit laughing cit--
-  Who kept the Wigwam happy by her fund of ready wit.
-
-  A blooming maid of twenty, perhaps of two years more,
-  Her lovers might be counted at wholesale by the score;
-  But there was one--a comely lad--a Chieftain's only son,
-  This one alone of all the crowd her youthful love had won.
-
-  So tall, so straight, so beautiful, an eye like diamonds bright,
-  Not one could beat him in the chase, by night or broad daylight;
-  And when upon the war-path with the braves he started out,
-  The death-song of his enemies would plainly mark his route.
-
-  But, ah, alas! the wampum to make him all her own.
-  She did not have the needful, for she had poorly grown;
-  And often on the placid Lake, within her log canoe.
-  She pondered long and deeply on just what she should do.
-
-  One day, when very sad indeed, a long way out from shore,
-  She sighed--she felt just then more sad than e'er she felt before;
-  Just then a Fish of monstrous size jumped from the water out.
-  And, balanc'd nicely on his tail, asked what she was about.
-
-  At such a sight she fainted, yet still she did not fall,
-  But straightway told her sorrows, she told him of them all,
-  The Fish he wagged his little fin, and shook his pointed nose,
-  And said, "My darling Maiden, into my mouth you goes!"
-
-  Now, who would think a maiden of two and twenty years,
-  Would step into a fish's mouth without the slightest fears!
-  But so great was her desire her object to attain,
-  That she treated anything like fear with feelings of disdain.
-
-  Down came the Fish's lower jaw upon her light canoe,
-  He asked her if that ladder would answer for her shoe;
-  Then tripping up it lightly, she spied a splendid seat,
-  With wampum it was cover'd--her lover's it would beat.
-
-  Back came that self same lower jaw, without the slightest jar,
-  No one could treat her better, not e'en her dear Papa;
-  The Fish he told her plainly to his Mistress she must go,
-  She was a lovely Fairy, and she lived right down below.
-
-  He said that she was very kind, and beautiful, and great.
-  And dwelt within her watery home in rich and royal state.
-  That she wanted Li-Lamboni her dominions all to know.
-  So she sent her dear Fish Monster, to bring her down below.
-
-  Scarcely was she seated in the regal wampum chair.
-  Thinking of the Fairy Queen, when she was almost there;
-  And soon her fine Fish Monster drew down his under jaw
-  A Sea-Lion from ocean deep held out his ugly paw.
-
-  She tripped down quite gracefully and took the Lion's paw,
-  But I really cannot tell you all the riches that she saw:
-  On her right, there was a Grotto with gates of solid gold,
-  Guarded by a Devil Fish--to meet him would be bold.
-
-  On her left, a Fairy Palace, its walls of silver bright,
-  Its windows set with diamonds, which shone both day and night;
-  Its doors were made of jasper, its steps of onyx fine--
-  A worker up of cameo would think he'd found a mine.
-
-  The Lion touched her lightly, and she took his shaggy arm.
-  She felt while she was with him he'd shield her from all harm;
-  They tripped nimbly up the steps--he touched a little slide,
-  And almost in an instant the door was open'd wide.
-
-  A Water-Lily met them and passed her through the hall,--
-  So rich I'd fain describe it, but can't do so at all;--
-  Then to the audience chamber, with all things bright and airy,
-  There, right upon a golden throne, sat San Francisco Fairy.
-
-  A lovely figure, tall and straight, in elegant attire,
-  Looking for all the world like gold refined by fire;
-  She greeted Li-Lamboni in an off-hand, easy style.
-  Was tickled that she came, and would have her stay awhile.
-
-  With a motion of her hand for Li-Lamboni to draw near,
-  She spoke unto the Lily to bring for her a chair.
-  When seated near the throne, what should the Fairy do
-  But wave again her hand, and up through the floor they flew!
-
-  Here was a room of wampum, the ceiling, walls, the floor
-  And furniture were lined with it, as also was the door.
-  Says the Fairy to Li-Lamboni, "This wampum's all your own;
-  You see it's only lining, and you can easy take it down.
-
-  You can pack it in a compass small, and show it to your Pa,
-  Who never saw the like before, nor neither did your Ma;
-  And also when your chosen Fish shall take you to the air,
-  When stepping down the ladder you can take the wampum chair.
-
-  You wonder why I do this? I'll make it all quite plain:
-  Once, while running as a rabbit, you saved me from all harm;
-  The coyotes and the wolves had nearly run me dead.
-  When you threw them off the scent and took me to your bed.
-
-  And since that time I've look'd for you that action to repay,
-  But no good chance e'er offered till I heard you cry to-day.
-  We shortly move away from here--this Lake is to be drained--
-  For out quite near the Farallones another home we've gained.
-
-  The water will be drained away--a City here will rise,
-  Here will be marts of commerce, and wealth which men do prize;
-  Here'll be temples of the living God, and of Heathen idols, too,
-  Showing how Christians worship, and what Barbarians do.
-
-  This City great for me they'll name, the world will know it well,
-  And when it will stop growing, no one, I'm sure, can tell;
-  No London can to it compare, or Canton, I am sure,
-  For while the World does stand this City will endure.
-
-  And when at home you're settled and your Chieftain calls on you,
-  Just lay these out quite nicely and give him a good view;
-  If that don't melt his stony heart and bring him to his knees,
-  Cast him quickly from your heart, and marry whom you please."
-
-  Then at a word the wampum came quickly from the wall,
-  And from the door and ceiling, and soon she had it all;
-  No Indian maiden e'er so rich as Li-Lamboni that day,
-  And she thought that with the Fairy she could no longer stay.
-
-  Then the Fairy waved her little wand and they passed down below,
-  When the Maiden, having kissed her, said that she must go;
-  And through the hall the Lily was again her pleasant guide,
-  And without the slightest effort the door swung open wide.
-
-  And right beyond the portal stood her Lion, as before,
-  Waiting very patiently her exit through the door;
-  Then he bent his ugly paw with the manners of a beau,
-  She put her hand within it, and down the steps did go.
-
-  She found her old Fish Monster with everything all right,
-  Down came his handy under jaw,--she mounted to the height;
-  And scarcely was she seated in that splendid wampum chair.
-  When they were on the water and she breathed the nice fresh air.
-
-  Again came down that lower jaw upon her light canoe,
-  With the chair upon her arm she bade the Fish adieu;
-  And seizing quick the paddle, she drove the boat along,
-  And she really felt so happy she burst into a song.
-
-  Right to her father's Wigwam she quickly brought her prize.
-  Who fitted up for her own use one of much larger size;
-  The wampum used for lining--the chair in center stood,
-  Her Chieftain soon did see it, and said 'twas very good.
-
-  'Twas amazing how his love increas'd while gazing on her wealth.
-  For soon he quite forgot himself, and seized a kiss by stealth;
-  And no one now more anxious the marriage to fulfil.
-  Indeed so much excitement he really was quite ill.
-
-  Her heart was warm--she pitied him, and soon became his wife,
-  And they travel'd on together through this world of strife;
-  The wealth she brought along with her unto her lord and master,
-  Was greater in comparison than that of J. J. Astor.
-
-  Their married life ran smoothly, and to them a babe was born.
-  But Li-Lamboni oft wonder'd if her Fairy friend was gone.
-  One day while at her Wigwam door, the baby in her arms,
-  The earth began to tremble and it filled her with alarms.
-
-  Anon it trembled more and more, and then a sudden shock,
-  As she looked out towards the Ocean she saw the Elfin Rock,
-  'Twas lifted from its base, and was swinging towards the sea,
-  And this immense lake of water from its bondage now was free.
-
-  Then she saw her old Fish Monster swimming gracefully along,
-  Although the water flowed with a tide both full and strong;
-  He raised himself upon his tail, as he had done before,
-  And dropping down his under jaw as one would drop a door.
-
-  There sat the graceful Fairy, brought fully into view,
-  And she waved her tiny finger to bid her friend adieu:
-  "We're going to Farrallone Isles there to build a home,
-  And if you need our help again you have out there to come."
-
-  Then up again that lower jaw went snugly into place,
-  And having cut a caper with the Sea-Lion ran a race,
-  Who had the Lily on his back to take a pleasant ride,
-  They moved along quite rapidly, both swimming with the tide.
-
-  Li-Lamboni felt sad to bid her friend good-bye.
-  She sank right down upon the floor and ended with a cry;
-  But with them passed the waters, leaving only our fine Bay,
-  On which rises San Francisco as we see it here to-day.

-Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate

-Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
-     www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
