1t was understood on the water from
yesterday that Mr.. Kamm, principal own
er of the Ocean Wave, had attempted Il
call off the lease of the steamer to the
&C. r. and p. s. N. Co. He was not con-
suited by the owners in the making ol
the contract, it is believed, in retaliation
for his actions with the Ocean wave

boat was under his particular charge
His attempt to kill the present deal was
unsuccessful, as the balance of the stock
holders were solid against him.
