While Edgemere and Bridgeboro fought he would become a war millionaire.

The little island, retired from its wild career at last and with a secure and fixed abode would still play an important part in world affairs.
"I tell you what we'll do," said Pee-wee; "we'll sell seats for people to see the races from the island.

We'll build a couple of benches out of this old refreshment board--we'll drive stakes in the ground--and one of us will go to town--I mean the mainland--with a big sign telling people they can buy seats for ten cents--because in the boat races when Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht got beaten lots of people paid to go out on excursion steamers and this island is better than an excursion steamer, because they'll go right around the edge of it--right around the coast and everybody'll get a dandy view." Thus it was that on Thursday and Friday there; appeared in the _Bridgeboro Evening Record_ an advertisement which read: See the High School events on the river from Alligator Island, seats ten cents.

Fine view of the races.

Free transportation both ways.
Alligator Island belongs to the boy scouts and is in the middle of the river, commanding a fine view because the boats go around it.
