Her life was lived between two islands of
loneliness in the city's night: this room. and
the empty office building where the only
sounds she heard while she worked were the
wet flop of her own mop, and the catter of
another pail far down an echoing corridor.
Sometimes, as tonight, she wished she could
have bit of company to her tea. 1t would be
nice to have somebody to talk to at the end
of the night.

BETTER BOXING FOR
KEY WEST

Editor, The Citizen:
In answer to the boxing fan
that wrote the article appearing
in this paper Saturday, March
22nd, the writer would like to say
that he is very poor sport to be-
gin with. First of all the blame
for same should not be placed on
the boxing commission or the pro-
moter or any one else, rather the
boxing commission should be
complimented for not stopping
the snow as they are well aware
of conditions that exist here in
Key West, and are only cooperat-
ing with the promoter, as they
should do to help build up sport
Key West needs so badly, and the
writer, takes off his hat to the pro-
moter for the intestinal fortitude
he had to invest his money in an
enterprise that he feels sure will
be credit to the city. The writer
also wonders if the one who had
the nerve to write such a con-
demning article ever tried to do
for Key West what the promoter
of the Key West Arena has done,
or has he ever done anything for
this city but be a knocker and
find fault with what others are
trying to do. l happened to be
at the said fight and l did not
hear any boos as the self-styled
fan mentioned in his article. True,
it wasn't all that it should have
been, and 80 rounds of boxing was
not given the fans as promised,
but it was announced at the ring
side the night of the fight, the rea-
son, and everybody seemed salts
fled with the juStifiable excuse,
which was illness and injuries oc
Cured in training that caused
the postponement Of the rest of
the proposed card. Knowing the
promoter as do, am sure if the
disgruntled fan would go to him
and complain, he would gladly
give such a poor sport his money
back. Key West, is at dis
advantage in that it is so far from
everything, and lacks talent and
interest which is what the pro-
moter is gradually and surely
creating and building up. So let's
all like true Key Westers, get be-
hind him and patronize his shows,
and / am certain that we will in
the very near future get the best
shows that we have ever seen in
Key West, and equal to any other
city. Here's hoping that the pro-
moter don't get discouraged at
such craftsmanship. We know
he is a good Snowman, and will

And now, at this writing, we
are back to perfect summer
weather. Spring must be on the
way for the bays are swarming
with millions of tiny silver an
chovieS, and a few nights ago at
the sport dock, one boat brought
in 148 big kingfiSh, and others
almost as many; and kingfish
migrate north in the spring like
blackbirds. The runboat of the
Thompson fleet, they tell us,
came in the other night with a
single catch of $4,000 pounds; and
they have been operating for
weeks. That commercial fleet
goes to mo Mans Land forty
miles out toward Dry Tortugas;
a dangerous area of rough seas
and shifting quicksands. There,
they say, no sooner is the bait
out than it: is taken; the kingfish
are hauled in as fast as it can be
done. That is. until the season
is over; then it stops suddenly
just like this.

But with water birds it is diff

North of the city harbor num-

tered among the shoals; and
every one is covered with gulls
and terms, a hundred or more to
each hulk, resting between fish
ing excursions to the waters
round about. When we approach
in the sailboat. the air is full of
wings white and black. Some
times part of them are pelicans,
and usually a few black, long
winged Man-o-war birds. Some
times they rest on city dock,
waiting for the garbage boat to
go out, that boat being accom-
panied by a couple of thousand
of excited birds crying querul-
ously. The garbage is dumped
on an outgoing tide; and each
basket dumping is the signal for
a whirl of wings as they inspect
and select from the floating ma
terial. A smaller flock waits on
the navy vessels anchored out
side, for a similar reason.

we saw the pelicans

fishing; rising in a half-circle
with labored flight to the desired
height, then diving with a great
white splash, tC rise soon after,
