To get rid of such an amount. how
ever, would need great preparation
Distributed haphazard in fifties or
hundreds would mean detection long
before any proportion of the huge bulk

private individuals or even upon banks
would be tedious and risky opera

that customer was the government it,

The Last PRAYER.

John Masefield in New York Tribune)
When the last sea is sailed, and the last
shadow chartered,
When the last field is reaped, and the
last harvest stored.
When the last fire is out. and the last
guest departed,
Grant the last prayer that shall pray:
Be good to me, o Lord
And let me pass in a night at sea, a
night of storm and thunder;
In the loud crying of the wind through
rope, and sail, and spar,
Send me a ninth great peaceful wave to
whelm and roll me under,
To the cold tunnyfishes' home, where
the drowned galleons are
And in the dim green quiet place. far out
of sight and hearing,
Grant l may hear at whites the wash
and thrash of the sea foam
About the fine keen bows of the stately
clippers steering
Towards the bright northern star and
the fair ports of home.
