things must be done either let more wat.
or into the canal-that is, give more cur.

our ship back to drawing, the same water
she did in the first place. The cargo being
really OF value-that is to say, values hav,

country, but the world over-more
water would Seem the easier way
out Of z the dilemma. } I don't

merely merchandise to as, and in reality
only going to load our ship down deeper.
