the close openings. 1t is rather avoided
by the great players. presumably because
they feel themselves able to cope on any

by weaker players against superiors as one

in the lifeboat, but an eighth man, John
Anderson, who was working on barge
connected with the work OF dredging,
could not be reached by the others. When
they got away he was still upon the
barge, but whether the barge lived
through the storm is not yet known.
Just as the workmen In the lifeboat
pulled away. the dredge from which uhey
had fed sank.

rose near by. Around this the weary
