ancy, waiting for the craft that was to
stop us when we got IN the straits.
1t came, with hardly any warning, q
very small but dreadful looking torpedo
craft doomed up from where-no q
could telI-and came upon us at ex-
press train speed A more deadly and
dastardly light weapon | never saw be-
fore. It rushed right up broadside to
us, so close | could have tossed a cracker
on board. Our ship slo wed down TO
the signaling of that ugly craft. It was
not a bit comforting to see her sailors
loading one Of her guns ready for bust
ness. The commander raised a mega
phone and the following conversation
took place bet ween he and u captain:
"Where are you from?"
Ans. "New York"
did you come straight without maxi
ing any stops?n
Ans. eyes,
+ "What cargo have you?
Ans. "Cotton and wheat
us That all.u
Ans. Yes
"Got any Germans on board?"
Ans. mo-
"Who are those lower deck people?"
Ans. "Ail Italians"
"All right, you can 60"
THAT was q greatrelief and sent a
thrill of joy through us but the British
commander did not even smile, looked
as grim as the boat he commanded.
We soou got under way again feeling
thankful that we escaped more serious
trouble. We had gone but ahalf-mile,
however, when a loud report belched
forth aud we received O shot across our
sierra signal for us to stop quick.
Our ship obeyed that i'm polite request
and the same ugly craft at TX press train
speed dashed at US again. Then the
commander brought out his megaphone
again and said:
Changed my mind. You better go
over to the examining grounds with us
and be examined
Needless to say, that there were now
some very much concerned ones among
us. The further examination of US took
place at Gibraltar harbor, where we
we're boarded by HIM. Trawler, Croco-
die. Our cargo was rapidly examined
aud 0 KID and then our security vas
next held in balance for over one anda
half hours. The Crocodile's comman-
der finally decided to put the issue up
to the Gibraltar admiral. This exami-
nation of passports took another two
hours. Finally, after considerable un-
certainty, we were allo wed to sail again.
We were soon overhauled again for the
third time by a French battleship in
acknowledgements and when off Sar-
DINA we were again overhauled. This
time by a F~renchtorpedo boat destroy
or. Each of these boats seemed to pop
up on the horizon and rush directly
along side of us to make our identity
positive to their minds that we were

DECISIONS FROM
THELAW COURT

In the Somerset case of Leroy r. Fol-
som, receiver, vs. Clyde H. Smith ct ais,
Chief Justice Savage of the Supreme
Court of Maine has prepared and hand
ed down an interesting rescript which
sets forth principles Of law applicable
to corporations This particular case
is remanded to the court in Somerset
county for assessment of damages. the
follows:
Leroy r. Folsom, Receiver, VS.. Clyde
II Smith, ct ais
Savage. C. j.: /. A receiver of a cor
poration, appointed under Public Laws
Of 1905, CT. s., as amended by Public
Laws of 1907, CHI. 1877, succeeds only to
the rights of the corporation, and is
subject to all the equities that could
have been invoked successfully against
the corporation. He may sue at law or
in equity whenever the corporation it.
self might have sued, but not where the
interests of the corporation are not in
volved. He does not succeed to the
rights Of creditors.
:. A corporation may lawfully keep
it's bank account in any name it chooses
and may adopt and use such name in
the signatures upon its checks.
8. When the directors Of a corpora
tion have applied money belonging to
il 10 the payment of its overdraft in a
bank for which II was primarily respon-
s;ble a receiver, under the statute, can
not maintain an action therefor against
the directors. on the ground that they
we're cuarantors or sureties for the
overdraft, and that the transaction
amounted to a preference of themselves
and was fraudulent as to other credit
ors. The corporation itself was not
wronged.
!. When the directors Of an insolvent
corporation sold its assets. partly Tor
cash, and partly for capital stock IN
another corporation, and caused the
stock to be issued, not 10 the corporation
itself but to themselves individually,
they thereby diverted the stock from the
CORPORATION to themselves, and became
responsible to the corporation FOR the
value of the stock at the time OF Its con-
version. And the receiver of the cor
porstioa may maintain an action TO re-
cover the value.
5 All the directors of corporation
by whose authority or acquiesence It's
assets have been diverted from the uses
of the corporation are liable to the cor
poration, or its receiver, for the conse-
ouences of that breach Of trust.
6. Every director of corporation is
hound to know, and is presumed to
know it's financial condition
: When a case involving the assess
ment of damages is reported to the law
court, and the evidence affords insufti-
cient data for such assessment, the law
court will, if justice requires, remand
the case for assessment of damages at
nisi prius.
Defendants defaulted-
Cause remanded for hearing IN DAM
AGES at nisi prius. on account Of stock
converted.
