Feeding Sea Gulls

Taken from the rear end of a ferry boat which runs between San Francisco and Oakland, Cal. In the background are seen the hills and mountains which surround the bay . The opening of the film shows a small tug going across the bay towing a large barge or scow, while in the immediate foreground can be seen numerous sea gulls flying through the air and fluttering in the rear of the boat. In the wake of the boat the water seethes and surges. The effect is novel, the film is very sharp and clear and will prove an attractive subject.
