Contrary TO the predictions Of some OF

morning progressed. numerous little fish
ing boats came sailing up the coast from
the south at a fairly good gait. They
rolled and dipped a trife but the sea was
much smoother than last week. In fact.
there was comparatively little surf along
the shore. The air was wonderfully clear
and some OF the incoming European yes
sells could be sighted on shore.
