Officer Burke admiringly as he ap- preached, his glance taking in also the more pretentious boats riding at anchor farther out in the basin, the floating palaces of oil, real es- tate, and motion picture grandees. Must be great to own such boats! The value of any one of a dozen or more he could see would supply the comforts of life to his family for years.
 He strode along the walk span ming the mooring grounds. No A 6421 on this side but there was the Morning Star mooring around the corner and Jacks Anchorage far ther down--a couple of hundred craft all told, Burke estimated. He turned the corner walking slowly, reading every registration number with care.
 Larger boats now, beauties, nearly all spic and span in spotless paint and shining brass, more like great white birds than things of wood and metal.
