behind the buzzard.

vard to enable lighters to be towed up
to the edge of the city and the building
could be loaded on the fighters and
floated over to St. Simons pier with
safety. The distance is comparatively
short, and it may be that the building,

of Mr. Gordon to organize a company
of about twenty-five thousand dollars
capital to move the building.
