a fortune for a lump of ambergris
weighing 1S2 pounds. Forty and fifty
years ago, when ambergris was worth
s. an ounce, it was as much a centre

in the Caribbean Sea and in Bahama
waters became involved In serious
trouble through attempts to steal
humps of ambergris.

they would plan to rob a bank. Ad-
venturers watch for vessels carrying
100 or 300 or 500 pounds OF ambergris

then that the Puget Sound country is
