Uncle John is related by} blood to somebody related by} ‘marriage to us, and Roger is only a slightly more distant relative} of ours, His house, between the high-: way and the Florida Strait, is anchored by four stout steel wire | cables running out from the eaves at each corner and made | fast in the coral rock. The whole | family was in the house in that} storm that killed so many in the! Keys a few years ago.

But the storm subsided, leaving the house 50 feet from its site. They moved it to slightly higher ground and repaired it, and the front porch now overlooks the former back yard, the former founda- tions, the front yard and the ocean, with Tavernier Key off-| shore. Unele John’s very old home on the next key, Plantation Key, was completely destroyed, but his family escaped, though some rela- / tives were drowned. A good many { relatives of the keys were drown- ed, and probably all of them were somehow related to the Pinders and the Alburys. The government built one of those storm-proof concrete homes for Unele John. Mrs. Pinder had a hard-time deciding whether she wanted it on the old site by the sea,.or_by the highway out of sight:of the sea. Well, it’s by| the road, We think that’s a mis- | take. Survivors of that hurricane | sometimes hate to look at the water, even when it is beautifully be and blue—but people whoj lived by the sea can never be happy away from the sea. NEW ARRIVAL IN THOMPSON FAMILY: | News has been received in the | city Announcing the birth of son, weighing eight pounds and| six ounces, to Mr. and Mrs. An-! thony Thompson, at their home in! Detroit, Mich. Mr. Thompson is a son of Mr,| and Mrs. Harold Thompson of! 1112 Angela street, this city, who was once a news carrier with The | Citizen.
