tion that takes 40 minutes by the watch to
go three miles, and to wait in the cold at
the end of a long wharf for the convey
ance.
No one at the nRvy-yard nor in the town
opposite knows exactly who inflicted the
Mare Island ferry upon Uncle Sam. 1t is
rumored that business is done with such
regularity at the island that the man who
planned and built the ferry one day
stamped his foot aud declared that he
would accomplish something that wasn't
according TO tactics or explode in the act
So he got together a few planks and a
couple of paddle-wheels and made himself
boat.
There is nothing like unto this ferry in
the Union. unless it be The old receiving
ship lndeDendence that lies south of the
island seawall.
The Independence is a round-hulked
vessel. with bow that does not come to a
point. She has miserable little stick of a
bowsprit that protrudes from her rotund
nose like tOothpick stuck in the end Of a
watermelon.

"Look at the old Adams Poor old

up north. Pulled and dragged at her for
two DAYS. 1t took three ships to move
her. Then we had to tow the Door old

Mare Island is becoming more and more
exclusive. 1t is not pleasant task to
visit the place on an "off day, for it is
then that you are forcibly convinced that it
is set apart for the use OF the officers and
sailors and no one else.
One of the stories that is floating around
Vallejo and the yard is that something i

to be allowed to visit the island and see
something without fear of arrest.
The citizens of Vallejo say that the

with one-legged system connecting with
trains for San Francisco. Another grow

Mare Island ferry concern that is making
too much money on small outlay. A story
is told at the navy-yard of great man
from the octopus headouarters, who,
when asked why the town and station did
not get the benefit of train service and
passenger depot, replied: I'VE don't have
to-do we?'
"You make plenty CT money out of the

the citizen.
