Harbor! This was where he had landed when
he had come in the giant steamer from Russia! Out there was Ellis Island
where he had stayed with his father and his mother and his sisters and
his brothers until they had been looked at! He thought he could see
Ellis Island from where he stood. But there were so many islands he
couldn't be sure. But he _could_ see the Statue of Liberty, that
enormous woman holding a torch in her hand. He was sure of that. And he
could see the boats everywhere all over the harbor. Boris stood there
some time just staring and listening and staring.

When Boris he went out again
To find the country wide
And he went north and north he went
To Harlem River's side.

Again he turned himself about
And went the other way
And he went south and south he went
And there the harbor lay!

PART 3

Suddenly Boris remembered what he had come for. He was looking for the
wide green country, for a place where grass grew everywhere. "This is
the funniest thing in the world," he thought scratching his head.
"Wherever I walk in New York I come to water. So many people and water

Then he looked to the west, to the Hudson River. "No bridges there!" he
said. "It's too wide." Then he suddenly remembered the ferry boat that
had brought him from Ellis Island. "Ferry boats, of course," he thought.
And sure enough there were ferry boats and ferry boats going back and
forth from New York to the other side and to the little islands out in
the harbor too!

Now Boris walked along thinking hard about all this water all around New
York. Just then he noticed a lot of people coming up out of a hole in
the sidewalk. "The Subway," he thought, for you remember he had been on
the subway. But the name over the steps didn't spell "subway." He looked
at it for a long time. At last he could read it. "Hudson Tubes" it said.
Hudson Tubes? What could that mean? Boris wanted to know. So he walked
right up to a woman coming out of the hole.

"What are the Hudson Tubes and where do they take you?" he asked.

The woman laughed. "They take you to New Jersey, of
