In a minute the San Leandro would sound her whistle and pull out of the Ferry Building slip, bound for Oakland. Then there would be fun on the old ferry boat for the new sailor. never rode on a ferry boat before," he said, looking up at us. we see the When the San Leandro got under way, his grandfather held him shoulder high, and he saw the Bridge and Treasure Island and the ships and gulls and the Bay.

He would never see them again in this funny old once-upon-a-time way. Neither would we, but we felt happy that so many had done it before and that he had done it once. Indeed, we were pleased that so many Bay Area people of all sizes and fancies turned out for a ferry boat As owners of the San Leandro, we know she was pretty crowded most of the time, and maybe a few toes got stepped on. But all in all it looked to us as if everybody was having fun. To all of you adventurers who joined the throng, may we say for your interest and good company aboard.

The ferry boats will live longer in more happy memories because so many of you were with us. To the newspapers of San Francisco, Oakland and the Bay Area, to the radio and television stations, and to those throughout the country who cover news, go special thanks for their most generous attention to the somehow merry, somehow mournful passing of the Southern Pacific.
