Tugboat Ima Hogg
This
item appeared in the Galveston Daily News,
July 1, 1910.
Friends
of Miss Ima Hogg of Houston, who gathered at the North German Lloyd pier
Thursday to bid Miss Hogg and her brother, Mr. Mike Hogg, bon voyage on their
departure for Europe, noted with pleasure the pretty courtesy paid by the tug Ima Hogg. When the ocean liner was
leaving the pier the tug named for this daughter of the late Governor Hogg drew
alongside the Hanover and gave a
salute of three whistles while passing around the vessel upon the deck of which
stood the fair lady whose namesake the tug is. Miss Hogg was pleased with the
pretty compliment, and smilingly waved a good-by to those whose thought
prompted the salute.
Was
she secretly gritting her teeth behind that smile? Her name followed her everywhere!
Note
to blog readers: can you diagram this sentence?
