With a shout to attract the men on
the wharf Jose plunged into the bay.
Tony had come to the surface and Jose
seized him by the coat. Almost as much
at home in the water as on the land,
Jose held the terrified, struggling boy
till the men arrived and threw them a
rope.
The two dripping little figures were
drawn to the wharf. Tony in a state of
absolute terror and collapse. His teeth
chartered as he sank Imply down on
pile of lumber.

the blue coated customs officials who

In his heart Jose saluted every Ameri-

and the arm of San Francisco bay,
where the Spanish and italian fishing
boats lay at anchor
The day might have been a pleasant
one for Jose. for he loved the bay and
