John Hunt Tells Why He Married Anna Sterling, Who Had Lived “On the Line” BY JOHN HUNT Chapter I | HE fog was thick that morning as the Yerba Buena left T the Oakiand mole. The disquieting clangor of bells and | boats’ sirens had hushed the garrulity of the commuters. | Quickly the threat of the shrouded bay divided them into two groups; those who huddled aft, tacitly admitting their appre hensions of collision, and a smaller crowd on the forward deck, curious, challenging the unknown for an adventure, Among the latter a woman arrested my attention, 1 had seen her alight from the Melrose train, a rather strike Ing tall, dark-haired girl of perhaps 26, who managed to carry off gracefully the incongruity of a thin biack dri gauze sleeves through which the arms gleamed from wrist to shoulder, and a heavy fur at the throat She stood well forward against the rope barrier. And in her pol the tilt of her chin—that dare to the perils of the fog seemed especially emphasized. “There's a girl with nerve,” attracted to her. The chill of the mist had brought a glow to her pale feat ures. On her smali black hat a red pompon of feathers danced to every movement of her head, like a pennant of restiess energy. That bit of scarlet and the display of her arms robbed the black dress of its sombern Men looked at her with open tribute, though there was not a hint of coquetry in her eyes or bearing j From time to time the figures in that forward deck crowd shifted, until presently the woman stood at my shoulder.

We were sliding Into the slip on this side when the trivial | incident occurred which was to change the whole tenor of | my life. The boat hit the side of the slip hard. There was a sharp rebound, a shuffling of passengers, and plump into my arms came the wearer of the red pompon.
