Harbormaster’s shack becomes secret club site in Wall Street area
Be When Harbormaster William A. Lamond vacated a shack at Wall Street foot for quarters in the Warner building, he gave his former space to Bob Jerrett of Towing One. Residents formed a secret society in the box room using denatured alcohol as the main drink, and five members were found in a drunken state when police raided. Efforts are under way by Sound Salvage to libel the schooner Peter Metager, owned by a New York woman, with payment due before removal of the libel. Hoisting gear from the wrecker was taken to National Bridge for new structure work. The Frederick T. Keller arrived with three conllacen t purges and lingered for the looming storm expected to reach gale velocity. Storm warnings were posted and the city awaits the new Seaside Park weather signal. Signals are valued for Sound shipping into port, pending approval of funds to install the system.
