They have no neighbors. They see
nothing but the ships that come and
go-ships from all parts OF the world.
Should the transport head! into the
river by daylight. the waving girl''
will greet it with a white handler
chief, If at night she. will have
lantern. Today she told the skipper
of river boat that she was looking
forward with deep interest to the ar
rival of the st. Mihief.
Sailormen from every quarter of
the world know and love her. Curious
and beautiful things from all corners
Of the earth are to be found In her
little home. the gift Of friendly mari
ners. At one time she had menag-
erie of queer animals brought to her
by sailors and ships officers.
Men of the sea have come to look
upon her as their patroness who
brings them good luck. There have
been sailors who have deserted their
ships Just because she had failed to
wave goodbye as they cleared. And
every salute she gives Is answered
by the passing craft.
