the coast persist in interfering
with messages, and breaking the
circuit.
But the message reprinted
above is taken as authentic here,
and so thoroughly believed that

offices since Monday broke down
on its receipt, and went weeping
home.
Even the White Star officials
are beginning reluctantly to ad.

may fall below 700, and that there
is only the barest of bare chances
