PAGE SIx STEAMER LIN REDUCE FARES Luxury ocean-liner travel north via the cruise-way becomes even more of an economy after May 1 when Clyde-Mallory Lines, ac- cording to C. E. Smith, local agent,.,will, reduce the round trip faresi from:Miami to New York for the’ spring’and summer. Crijise-way travelers’ enjoy ‘the same. approach to the New York sky line that thrills visitors and homecomers: from Europe. ,, From the moment the vessels slip: past the Statue of Liberty, the towered metropolis welcomes the vaca- tionists with many attractions at this time of year. Only the hit plays are continuing in the thea- tres. f#amutuar faces in hotel lob- bies turn out to be movie stars enjoying their annual New York trip. Courteous guides usher visitors through the great broadcasting studios at Rockefeller Center in which are produced the shows that America hears nightly over the air. Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMag- gio, and Carl Hubbell and Bill Terry are playing at the Yankee Stadium and the, Polo Grounds. And this year ong can see the New. York World’s Fair of 1939 in construction, MORE PUBLICITY FOR KEY WEST (Continued from Page One) end is the Dry Tortugas used at one fime as a government prison. South of the keys and separat- ed from them by a _ navigable channel is the great Florida reef, a long, narrow ledge of coral. The atmosphere here in Key West is Spanish and may be likened to an emerald isle dropped in a tur- quoise’ sea. A marvel of tropic loveliness with fringes of white coral sand and rainbow-hued breakers, this and other islands are decked with swaying coconut palms, bananas and other far- southern vegetation. Pineapples and other tropical fruits grow in abundance and in a never ending summer, time passes unheeded. Fishing at Key West is world- renowned. Tarpon, amberjack, barracuda, sailfish abound and they'll tell you that over four million pounds of fish are an- nually shipped from this point. In addition, the veteran fisher- men will inform you that there are 650 known varieties of fish to be found here. Key West is the center of an important sponge industry and a glimpse of the sponge fleet and its catch on a market day is very worthwhile. Immense sea turtles are bagged and kept in concrete pools until killed. Turtle soup is canned and disffibuted throughout the world. - The. traveler should by ali means visit the coast defense for- tifications, the naval and air sta- tion and the monument to the heroes of the “Maine”.

After a visit of three weeks in Cuba, Pepito again takes his place at ‘headlining’ in the smartest show in town.

The two teams were a little off form for the first game and bet- ter contests are expected as the league continues. The Red Devils had the better of the game, getting 41 men at bat, 16 hits and scoring 19 times in the seven innings of play. The Roosevelt Club got 29 men to the plate, and received only six hits for five runs. Both teams secured 24 runs off 22 hits and got 70:bat- ters to the plate. The hitting stanet was Gabriel » Gareja, );) (Rubber Man), who collected four hits out of five tries and. scored two runs. Jesus Garcia was the outstaind- ing run-getter, scoring four timés after five time to the bat, with two hits. Villa , who pitched for the Red Devils, was very good, and was scoring on in only two in- nings for a total of five runs. Ward, who started pitching for the Roosevelt Club, was hit hard and was removed after the third inning. Eugene Roberts, who re- placed him, was doing fine until |the lucky seventh, when Sweet- ing opened the fireworks and aft- er three men were out they had collected four hits for five runs in that inning.

Inasmuch as it is generally un- derstood and accepted that Sena- tor Pepper stands well with the administration at Washington he unquestionably can aid in solving some of Key West’s remaining economic problems. The sena- tor’s candidacy is being pushed from many official directions. His campaign cards and litera- tu appear everywhere. So far as can be observed, none of this literature has yet had much ef- fect among the rank and file of voters. Senator Pepper might have developed a larger following had he filled a scheduled speak- ing engagement in Key West re- cently. The fact he did not ap- pear was, a disappointment to his backers. ee Ags the situation now shapes up in the)senatorasal fight, it is prob- lenfatical who will, carry, this couhty. sMuch,,,.depends upon whetheryadministration, influenc- és an overcome;the very high re- gard and:est in which Sholtz and Wileox are held by the peo- ple of this area.

He and his fa- ther helped salvage this wreck, Mr. Roberts said, and received $147 as their share. The ship was floated by putting large empty kerosene barrels along its sides and hauling her off. In 1870 a Mallory old style steamer, went aground on smooth, rock bottom. Part of her cargo was taken off and the ship floated. The largest ship sailing in those days was wrecked up dn the Keys, Mr. Roberts said. Some- how or the other she came through one of the few breaks in the great Barrier Reef and piled up on shore in the driving wind. Wrecking captains around her were so busy with other wrecks they could not at first attend to it. “If you leave me now, I won't let you come aboard again”, her captain bawled through a spcak- ing trumpet.

Getting up from alorg- side the centerboard where he lay, he peered over the side and saw that the large ship had parted her mooring and was drifting with only two light anchors she had thrown overboard. The cap- tain asked for assistance, and Mr. Roberts told him to go up Miami river. The captain was afraid he would miss the channel there, so Mr. Roberts piloted the ship up the river. Coming out after the hurricane passed over, there were scores of wrecked ships all over the long, low lying flats which were off Miami river then. Just behind the present Miami Beach, there was a_ long mangrove [NO NAME LODGEj No Name Key line, Directly on Sand Beach Cottages and Restaurant Phone No Name No. | Mr. Mrs. C. L. Craig.

It took six months to dig a channel out for an 80 ton British schooner which was wrecked near there. Treasures Along the reef waters and un- der the sands of the upper Keys there is much treasure buried. One group of Key West boat- men found metal bars in the hull of an old Spanish galleon which they were going to use for ballast. Another Key Wester, happening | along, saw the bars, took out his |! pen knife, and idly whittled at) | them to see what was beneath the |] slime and barnacles. He finally offered to buy them as ballast for his boat. The others wouldn't sell as they needed ballast badly, but finally made the sale when a good price was offered them. j | The bars were solid silver! ! Behind the truss factory an old man, dressed very raggedly, was often seen peering out of the) mangrove swamp there. One aft- | ernoon, someone happening to go: through the swamp found a chest |? with the top sawed through. The ;! old man was seen no more from that time on. in the swamp until a few ye ago when it was removed for con | struction purposes.
