Predatory Harbor Tugs.

Above the pier-close to it and TO-
gether. as if for comfort-huddled a
cluster of tugs: those curious, power
ful, persistent little steam craft that
ply back and forth and up and down,
saucily and busily important, their
rows of tenders trailing in the water,
their black smoke bannering out be-
hind Often I had watched them nos
ing in and out among the heavier craft,
nudging a great ocean liner into mid
stream. or singly and together pushing
or pulling some huge helpless bulk, as
an ant or as two ants might seize and
trundle a great dead bumblebee. Their
power and their impudence had filed
me with wonder. Viewing them now
in repose, was impressed by the fact,
hitherto unconsidered, that upon al
most every pilot house was a golden
eagle with extended wings-a symbol
of power and swiftness-and it was
borne in upon me that the tug in
truth is the harbor eagle. with all other
craft fer its prey.-Albert Bigelow
Paine, in Scribner's.
