be seen passengers ready to step over
the gang plank and breathe easy when
on the wharf, once more at Ocean
Point. OF course Mr. Van Horn is the
most needed man on the wharf, so he
is the first one visitors look for. Mr..
Van Horn has been agent at the wharf
for IS years and in that time very few
pieces of baggage have gone wrong.
He is prompt in getting passengers to
and from the boats, always hustling.
He has the whole swing, handling of
baggage, ice. wood, transferring boats
from winter quarters to the water, and
reforming them as each one demands
it. Van is the right man in the right
