The body of a Spanish citizen who
went down on the French steamer
Borgogne was found afloat by an
American skipper a few days after
wards and on the body were checks
TO the value of over a quarter of a
million pasetas The skipper claims
the checks on the ground that his
country was at war with Spain and he
captured the body and checks; he
claims a large portion of the find on
account OF salvage. if the first PROPOSE
ton don't stick. French law comes in
on the ground that the deceased was
sailing on a vessel of French registra-
ton and was therefore within French
jurisdiction at the time of his death
At any rate it is safe 10 say THAT by
the time the law and the lawyers get
through with the case the s1ipper's
find will be scarcer than a run of cod
