The S.S. TACOMA of the Puget Sound Navigation Company's fleet was in port Sunday afternoon with ca. 1,000 Seattle people aboard, enjoying the day in the county seat. This was one of the largest excursion parties to visit Friday Harbor this summer. Courtesy cars were furnished and as many as possible of the visitors were taken to points of interest about the island.
