ping men remarked upon this fact,
and the most casual observers missed

from overseas left in the harbor this
morning to justify it's existence.

make up for the deficiency of this
week, but the old-timers along the

brings more in one trip than five
wind-janmers did in the old days, but
q day like this certainly does rob the
port of the businesslike aspect which
Is usually associated with thriving
ports. This afternoon the Logan and
the Hongkung Maru will brighten
things up a little and next Tuesday
the harbor folk will be busy enough.
