FOG ON LAND AND WATER

greatly hampered this morning and
during the night in one of the
worst fogs spread over this section
in years. The ferryboat Perth AM
boy of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit plying between this city and
T%ottenville, was the only craft
that appeared to be navigating in
these waters.
With the exception of one or two
trips at early hours the f~erryboat
plyed cautiously back and forth
over the sound without an accident.
What trips were made were on
time. the boat entering either
slip on both sides of the sound
almost as good as on a clear day.
All trolley and buses in the early
hours both in and out of the city
had to proceed with caution. The
continued fog for the last several
nights and mornings is said to
have been the worst in years. Ship
ping in this and all neighboring
waters have been tied up as the
result of the dense mist.
AS the fog began to lift shortly
after 10 o'clock small crafts could
be seen to be starting to stir and
traffic on the water began to move.
