from NewJersey on the fcrryboats I'm the early hours
Of the morning have often to be towed ashore Inc
ascent along the ferry apron" from the boat to the
pier is extremely steep when the tide is low, ana on
these mornings you mag see an operation Which Is
not unlike the I'm Maine logging camp. Upon
the pier stands u two-horse wagon, 20 which Is at

OF the truck which is to be tuggcd 10 land and thcH
every one scampers out of the path Of the tow
There come a few sharp orders loud yelling, cries OF

In the street The wagons are loaded with snch
able 10 drag them on q level stretch. But when
