 Dear Sir:
 Sorry that 1 do not know your name. but 1 don't think 1 know a half dozen people in Seward, but when l lived there l knew every man. woman and dog in the town and nearly everyone on the Konai Peninsula And l loved Alaska and still do and ii l wasn't so old, 85, 1 would be back there. Since leaving Sew ard at the beginning of the first war in which I served two years in a very interesting experience, in all my travelings through Flu rope and other countries, l have always given my home as Sew ard, Alaska.
 We had a nice little Seward party here a few days ago, and l am sending you an account of the party and the names of the old timers that were there, that you can use if you desire and have space for. I worked on the old Seward Gateway many times when it was a weekly and a month when it was daily when the editor went to Seattle for a months vacation. And was it a job 1 will never forget.
 With kindest regards to you and any of my old friends who are still there.

REHOBOTH BEACH, DELHI
dian River Inlet, about six miles
south of here, is the only break
in the ocean beach barrier be-
tween Rehoboth and Ocean City.
1t may be the newest port in the
Atlantic. At any rate. it is only
about 10 years old.
There had always been an inlet
along this stretch of the Delaware
coast but it used to be farther
south and never was dependable
for navigation. The sea will open
. q breach in one of these sand
bars. then close it again, or leave
it shallow with a deposit of sand.
High Powered Boats.
Just before World War II it was
decided to bridge the inlet to COM
plete the ocean highway from Re-
hoboth to Ocean City. The short
bridge proved to be a costly ven-
ture. It was quickly discovered
the tides rushing under the span
were going to carry away the ap-
approaches.
So they had to protect them
with interlocking steel piling. That
saved the approaches and kept
the channel. one Of the fastest
tidal flows on the east coast. Only
very high-powered boats can en-
ter from the ocean when the tide
Is ebbing.
But the flowing tide is a pleas
ure to those who fish from the
bridge. They can pay their line
out 400 or 800 feet. - -
Port Developed.
That's the story Of the bridge.
It was John Marsh, a mailman in
Rehoboth, who made it a port. He
got some money. formed a cor
poration and dredged out marina
Tor fishing boats.
Today, IS Of the high powered
cruisers that go out into the
ocean are berthed at the Indian
River dock. They're after blues.
Some marlin play around the op-
posite shoals.
The rates at Indian River are
$35 for a party of eight fishermen
during weekday and SO for each
additional member of the party.
On Saturdays and holidays. it
is $50.
