The Norfolk Ferry said sure it was going to run. No second-rate gale could stop the Norfolk Ferry, nothing less than a full-fledged hurricane could ,prevent its running. Business of taxiing to the Nor- folk Ferry House, seven miles and four dollars away, over back roads which were still above the rapidly rising tide. Would the Norfolk Ferry run? Sure it would run. Hearty and reas- suring laughter. Fifty cents, please. At nine P. M. the ferry came roll- ing into the slip from Cape Charles. More pea-green passengers, more wan children, more silent sailors. Also more bulletin Board—DUE TO THE STORM THERE WILL BE NO MORE FERRIES TONIGHT. And what are you-all kicking about anyway? Aintcha gettin yer money back ? Frantic telephoning on the part of sailors on leave, sailors who had planned to spend the night on the train and make a little hey-hey in New York while the ship was in port. The baby yawned over the unac- countable hullabaloo and lapsed in- to a sweet sleep on one of the hard benches while his mother did a little emergency phoning. The lines were all down toward the east, with Virginia Beach cut off from the world. Lines still in working order locally. No hotel accommodations. No taxis. No nothing, except howl- ing wind and rain lashing horizon- tally across the dark water. hopeless foray into the streaming dark, and this time there was a taxi bearing down upon the Ferry House. Fifty people were waiting for it, but she stated her case and the taxi driver agreed that she needed transportation worse than the rest of the passengers. The cir- cumstance that this passenger was good for a twenty-mile drive may have had something to do with his acquiescence. Dashing back into the Ferry House, she found the baby the cen- ter of attention. Four French sailors and a half a dozen Americans were gathered about him, and he was en- tertaining them. The sailors looked sheepish and a shade anxious. They wanted it understood that they had aot actually wakened him, that they had simply prevented him from skidding off the bench. They all had little brothers and sisters at home, each infant six months old and fully as beautiful as this one, and they had pictures in their wallets to prove it. And they would help get the baby safely aboard the taxi. The proces- sion formed, the French sailors speaking to the petit bebe in liquid French, the American sailors wrest- i ling competently with the suitcases and the dunnage bag. The taxi, twelve dollars worth of it this time, deposited the baby ginia Beach at midnight. The next day, in a flat calm, the ferry crossing was made, with sail- ors once more taking-charge of the | baby and promenading him around the decks. Each sailor had a pic- ture of a six-months baby in ‘his wallet, and each sailor took the baby for a walk while his mother a | > !

His mother, having been assured that there was a fif- teen-minute wait, adequate for bot- tle-heating, left him in charge of another passenger and went into the restaurant. When she came out with the warm bottle, the train had disappeared. She looked wildly about the sta- tion, but there was nothing in sight. A man with a suitcase informed her that the train had not yet arrived, that he was waiting for the Wilkes- Barre train himself and would be glad to tell her when it got in. She began to feel like the Little Man Who Wasn't There, but just as she was pinching herself to make walking around in a nightmare, the Navy once more saved the day. On the back platform of a car moving slowly - into the other side of the | station, two sailors were semaphor- ing vigorously, whistling and cat- calling with enthusiasm. “Pretty fresh, aren’t you?” she mumbled under her breath, when the light dawned beautifully clear. Sure enough, there was the baby, completely surrounded by sailors, all of them comparing wallets. . KUNKLE Don’t forget the Hallowe'en Mas querade Dance at the Community Hall, October 30th.
