nearest to which the boats were moored at y
that morning Capt. Ed Walter and all hands
were on board and getting ready to start.
They were q half mile away. Fortunately q

when the situation was made known to him he
agreed to take the enthusiasts out to the

leaked several pailfuls a minute but 1t held
together until the steamer was reached. where
the painter borrowed n dipper to bail with on
the way back. Capt. Ed Walter received his
passengers cordially, merely warning them
that there were no accommodations.
A start was made at once. There was q fine
breeze blowing, and sail ing craft were already
far out toward the open bay on the way to the
porgy grounds. As the Dolphin steaned
rapidly down the harbor; the artist and his
friend sat on the after deck. while Capt Ed
Walter stood on the seine in front Of them and
talked shop.
