Then the tea business began to de-

commercial circles in London. number
of metropolitan bankers who had loaned
money to certain Ceylon tea planters
went to the biz merchant and invited
hum to so into ten planting. They were
afraid of their investments and trem-

they might unload on Upton They

urchin used to sit on the busy docks
that fringe the River Clyde at Glasgow.
He spoke with nrogue and had few
friends among the wharf rats OF the
city. So ne used TO sit on the edge Of
the docks and dream day dreams. With
eyes of bright Irish blue he used to
watch the merchantmen and the
schooners and the small sailing craft
going cternaly back and forth. He
liked to watch them and the yachts
that went skimming back and forth
with broad. white wings.
The boys name was Tommie Upton.
He was also very fond of watching the
big tea vessels from China unloading
