ALONG SEA And SHORE.
A Very Quiet Easter Sunday on
the Water Front.
Captain Dunleavy Says 1t Is on Account Of
Religion, but Al White Explains That
Dull Times Are the Cause.

Easter Sunday was a quiet day on tn e
waterfront Captain Dunleavy. the vet
eran of ID years experience on East street
and vicinity, says it was because for once
the habitues of the wharvus and lumber
piles preferred going to church to lOafng
around the docks.
The captains theory, however, is not
shared by al White, the oldest inhabtant
Of the bilge- water district, who attributes
yesterdays Sabbath stiffness to dull times.
However, whether it was religion or a
depression in business which kept the usual
Sunday crowd away, the waterfront was
yesterday freqnented by very few people.
The travel on the ferry-b0sts to Oakland,
Alameda, SausalIto and San Rafael was
considerable less than on any Sunday for
weeks past, and the southeastern which
swept alon the wharves had but very little
chance TO throw dust into peoples eyes,
because the people were not there.
On Mission-street pier l group Of sailors,
loungers and chance visitors had listened
patiently Tor about an hour TO some street
preachers, when, about o'clock p. NJ, they
became restless and nearly mobbed an en-
thusiastlc young Swedish woman who was
trying TO make converts among them,
TOO MUCH FOR THE CROWD.
They goodnaturedly allowed several
gray-whiSkered enthusiasts TO harangue /;
they formed circle for the Salvation Army,
and did not mind the noise the soldiers of
that corps made, and even when bespecta-
cled colOred youth shouted Methodist hymns
he was lett unmOlested, but that Scandna-
Wan female preacher was too much for that
crowd aud they just hooted and yelled until
she retired yanqui5hed aud uttering all
kinds of indgnan: expressions aimed at
the ungodilness OF waterfront babtues.
