Boat goes back and forth from Gilroy's field.

Absolutely safe.

Take the beautiful ride to Alligator Island and see the races for only ten cents.

Children in arms if not accompanied by parents have to pay five cents.
It will be observed from the advertisement that Merry-go-round Island, alias the Isle of Desserts, was now masquerading under a new name, which had been given it in the hope of obliterating all memories of its wandering past.
Being now a respectable stay-at-home island, stuck fast with each part of its coast true to its proper compass point, what more natural than that its roving youth should be treated as a closed book by its owners?
There it sat in the middle of the glinting river, its sturdy understructure reposing upon Waring's reef.
Even at low ride the shallow water rippled about it.

At high tide the coy reef withdrew entirely within the briny deep, so that the unromantic and unsightly scow was not visible and the island stood in all its wild and floral beauty, a vision of picturesque delight for three or four hours each day at full tide.
