This matter, however. will not stand
in the way of agreement.

former Is $40 q share. The latter
will issue its stock at $110 a share
In order to create q surplus Of $780,

Citizens Savings $40 a share for its

gap. Evans said, and one was propelled
with such force that she went over the
far side of the boat and was saved
from plunging into the sea only by ner
shoe. which caught In an oar lock.

that there were no lights in the hfe-
boats. He said that after four boats
had cleared the ship he went to the
store room and discovered the lamps.
flares and oil there. BY orders from
the captain, he said, he hurriedly
equipped as many Of the remaining
boats as he could.

ton.
