It is just such efficiency which has made the

also is the result of the celiber of all the men

life if necessary, jut as pert of the day's work.
There waa a real tribute in' Captain Hansen's

What w'tU heeame a tlw boats, and the meet
who have ran them? So far no definite er
vision has been made far the future usee a tt
Ferry boats. Undoubtedly they will be oaufrkt
and live out their days of service in other w
te-rs. Let us hopo thai wherever they go, there,
tea, will be the seagull to toisipanion them
wiih the flash of white wings.
, A picture, persistently intrudes Itself betwee
the present and the future. 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.
