The League of Nations heard the
toot. So did League observers.
Then it smote the longshoremen.
Thus a procession, joined by
taxicabs, taxicans and taxicants,
headed for the docks.
“That’s funny,” said a veteran
longshoreman. “Now where did
that ship go to?”
“That must be the result of the
harbor pilot’s navigation figures,
suggested an old salt. Swao n y
binnacle if he hasn’t figured some
ship off its course and landed it
out about the Jesse Lee Home,
toot and all. Like as nov its the

The people of Kake wanted a
dock. They knew if they waited
for the legislature or Washington
to appropriate funds for it, years
would pass. So everybody in town
closed up shop and jumped in to
lend a hand. Spikes, lumber and
piling, as well as labor, was donat
ed. Today, Kake boasts a fine
dock. Later the townsfolk expect to
lengthen it and also build a float.
