A Coast Guard spokesman said Nick Lackey was in apparent good condition when he was picked up by a freighter. He was taken to a Coos Bay hospital for examination and was to be flown to California late Saturday for a reunion with his wife and two children, Crystal, 3, and Jade, 2, the spokesman said.

Lackey's wife, Carol, was awakened at 3 a.m. last Wednesday by a telephone call from authorities reporting that her husband was missing. When she woke to answer the phone, she discovered that the ceiling of her Fort Bragg home was on fire and managed to get herself and her children safely out of the burning house. backward on purpose.

We have more than our share of tongue-twisters, funny spellings and Anglicized Indian. For every comedian who has joked about Walla Walla the town that liked its name so well it named it there is a newcomer who got a bigger laugh the first time he tried Puyal lup. Would you believe Our geographical names can sound morose (Victim Island, Skull Rock, Point Deception, Massacre Bay, Obstruction Pass and Cape Disapointment) and quite upbeat (Hope Island, Pleas.

ant Prairie, Shine, Straw. berry Bay, Liberty Lake). Our names originated with Greek explorers (Apos tolos Valerianus, alias Juan de Fuca), Spanish (Juan Perez, Bruno Heceta, Bode. ga Quadra), English (Capt. Robert Gray, Charles Wilkes.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark). The names also were coined by postmasters, businessmen, railroad officials, citizens' town-hall meetings and legislators. Often the reasoning behind them was faulty. Frequently, letters got mixed up. But we are stuck with them.

for better or worse. Many Spanish names The two Washington place name "bibles" are Edmond S. Meany's classic "Origin of Washington Geographic Name" first published in 1923 and updated in 1969, and Jim Phillips' "Washington State Place Names," published in 1971. By far the greatest number of names in Meany's book (261) grew out of Wilkes' expedition of 1841. British captains accounted for 195, led by Richards, 93; Vancouver, 49.

and Kellett, 36. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is credited with 73. Railroad officials gave us 93. Surprisingly, Lewis and Clark account for only 16. We owe Mount Olympus to Captain Meares, who changed it from the Spanish name, El Cero de la Santa Rosa lia, Captain Gray gave us the Columbia River and Grays Harbor.

Captain Vancouver named Puget Sound and many of our nearby water landmarks. All 39 counties received their names from the legislatues of Oregon and Washington. As botanists, our explorers were good seamen. Magnolia Bluff in northwest Seattle was named by Captain George Davison, who thought the madronas were magnolias. Apple Tree Cove in Kitsap County was named by Wilkes, who didn't know a flowering dogwood from an apple tree.

Cypress Island in Skagit County was named by Vancouver. who didn't know his junipers. We went far afield for some names. TACOMA (A to figure "1 name?" is not if you reside ir state.

Poulsbo in Kitsap County was named after a small community in Norway. Bingen in Klickitat County was named after a town on the Rhine River, Germany. For real imagination, there is Pandora in Whitman County, named after Pandora's Box.

More historial are Mount Constitution in San Juan County, named by Wilkes to honor the famous American vessel Constitution. Revere in Whitman County is for Paul Revere.

Avarice motivated the townsfolk to choose Pullman in Whitman County in the hope that by naming it for George M.

Pullman, railroad-car manufacturer, he would endow the town. Pullman did not. Ignorance led to the naming of Pe Ell in Lewis Conty by settlers who thought they were adopting an Indian word. In truth, it was an Indian pronunciation of Pierre. Superstition named Yacolt in Clark County.

Years ago, a small tribe of Indians went huckleberrying on the prairie, and some of their children mysteriously disappeared. The children were never found. The Indians presumed they had been stolen by evil spirits. Yacolt means "haunted place." The naming of Vader in Lewis County was a comedy of errors. It began as Little Falls, but the Northern Pacific Railway, which had naother town of the same name on its line in Minnesota, called it Sopenah.

Residents, weary of two names, petitioned the legislature to change it to Toronto. But there were five Torontos in the country. The legislature demanded an original name. At a town meeting, it was decided to honor an elderly German named Vader. Post office 'goofs' Alas, the old gentleman took it as a personal affront and promptly moved to Florida.
