With him were several officers of his

purser, and loo members of the crew.
The veteran skipper. who has taken
the capture of his ship philosoph ophically,
asserted that he had been well treat

his crew for their work at the time

they would take out of the Nandyck

TO take the Nandyck, and he gave US all

Canada after the war is in for an era

thing she has heretofore enjoyed. The
prediction is based on the supposition
that the countries of Europe, exhaust
