Text Appearing Before Image:
time may be lostfinding a tug to pull us in. While the city government clears up andimproves the highways through town, their single, narrow highway ofwater is neglected, and the steam craft who serve them, unjustly suffera heavy expense for tugs, broken wheels and loss of time. There is a steamer close by us, she is lying still as though waitingfor something. What does it mean ? It is simply one of those caseswhere there is but little system used in the navigation of vessels, andalthough you can see by the moonlight that there is a broad expanseof water in the bay, still the safe channel is somewhat narrow, andunless steamers are careful to run in by a proper course every timethere is a chance of getting aground. Our friend is not sure of hisbearings, and is waiting to follow us in, taking advantage of ourcourses. You may notice this lack of confidence frequently. Fourofficers are constantly watching the course of our steamer, and anyvariation would receive their prompt attention. ?0
