TRIP TO
INSPECT BOAT
Port Health Officer Goes Out
to Incoming Steamer.

II Is all right to be a quarantine
officer In the good old summer
time," but in weather like today it
is no "cinch." DR.. Charles w.
Naulty, Jr., took an EVENING
NEWS reporter out this morning to
attend his inspection of the steamer
Mountby, which arrived in port this
morning. When they returned the
doctors coat was like an Eskimo's
with icicles ~fringing the heavy
garment, and the representatives
fingers were almost frozen and re-
qutred an hour or so TO thaw them
to a state of nimb1eness for type
writer use. The sound was ehoppy
and the strong wind cut through the
toys of the occupants of the little
motor boat of the quarantine Off
GER like a sword cuts through tissue
paper.
Uncle Sam requires a rigid exami-
nation of every ship, and on reach
ing the boat each man was lined up
for DR.. Naulty to look over. After
being satisfied that NJ contagious
disease prevailed on the vessel he
made out a release of the boat,
without which she would not be re-
ceived at the custom house.
The captain of the boat told how
the craft had been delayed by
stormy weather and about the stop
at Bermuda, where he said. You
Americans spend your winters"
He described this place as a NINA
lure paradise, and made the doctor
and the NEWS man forget about
their cold voyage back to shore.
On the return voyage the sound
was even more rough and the wind
more of a freezing temperature.
Alexander Seguine, who assists DR..
Naulty in fumigating, proved he had
prepared for the voyage by cover
ing his head during the trip with
a huge coat and tueking himself
down on the floor of the boat, where
the frigfd winds had little effect up
on him.
