That waa 4S yr ag, and Captain HeaOi 'as seen the Ferry boats corn into aeeemfeney, fulfill their deetiny as a trtiiorttin of major importance, and now watchw tlwir. eradual da dine. He is in charge of all the Southern P--ifie Passenger Ferrie, and is preudt of the -afety record they have made ihrnajrswsrt many ears of Mrviee. There is rigid governmtwt inspetiioa of ii ferry boats o the Bay, and it is riid. Owe ear the boats, one at a time, are tahea ove by 'he U. S. Inspection Board, and sjorie over com iletely. At freqacnt intervals, the sanitation, and fire equipment is also checked. In comHe with Ferry service in other parts of the country, f safety, comfort, anil cleanliness, ties Ss racisco Bay Ferries rank highest. We caujht R. D. Carter talkiaj- with oi of tJee seniw captains. K introduced us to this srad young mas of 70 years, who this month eampietea 5J years of service on the Ferries.

Killing over with Captain Hansen, from Oak land to San Francisco, ho spoke of the safety drills the boats have as pari of iiieir regular program. "Now suppose someone goes ver UMntl," he sid. "f press this button, anif jru keep your eye on the right rear life boat, aiei fi;are the time it takes to set the boat on the water," Wc counted SO seconds from the nwme tk insl was given, until the men had the boat lowered to water level, "Foolish," ssid Captain Wa9ei, "for anyone to think they can fret y wHil swkiiio oat these rerrscs," T we saw the fire drill, Qmt wtinate fs4 tka sigaal until foatr (tretn of water were siKHg tlirewit from the top of the third deck. It is just such efficiency which has made the amiijr safety record n the Ferry boats. It also is the result of the celiber of all the men e the boats. Any one of them would risk his life if necessary, jut as pert of the day's work. There waa a real tribute in' Captain Hansen's ve-ice he apoke of the men, who work on ih?1 .boats. THE STOilY of the San Francisco Bay Ferries would be incomplete without stopping for a few moments in the famous Ferry building. More people pass throuch this place during rush hoars than through ny traffic spot in the world, Kcepting; the Grand Central Station in New York City, and Charinjr Cross of London, Down Market Street come the loaded cars, and swine; nto the circle of trarks in front of the Ferry Building.

There will be a last run for each boat, the final turn of the wheel, the long, lingering blast of the whiatle Rearing the pier, and with at rush of foaming water, the days of the Ferry Boats on the Bay will came ta an end. But In the following ycatrsj surely same days and nights will find an old boatman, and perhaps a ceptaln, walking slowly along the wharf, looking out over the water, dreaming of a time when no bridges swung web like above the Bay, and the lights of the cities and towns were answered by the moving, lighted windows of the Ferry boats. r aeTl " ilLZl.- ---t,rf-1 ewsA,a -l , tesefth i' F .isj -' ' f ' atl Tl ' ' "T J' L T a'- ' f'tl Hi 1 all ft ill I Bell fl 1 IfTt r'tf hlfTt 1 l1aw 1 " I ' tWM&tmtW ' ) f ' '.VfcMttdttfc 5 .aeawawawawawawat- awswawjWJaaawaw V -r m i el ii. , - Li ji, fifrm - -? ,i- i-',v. .: ,z, IaJ ..SlVtv V -ea: " g W- a ii -iSwiMiMMMwsiwaeawawjMaiaws 103 CAPITAL PRIIEI totaling O.OOOinCASH!
