The passage of a law by Con-

1t was stated that many statutes

the emergency" and similar phrases
would cease to be operative if
there were a statute declaring
peace. A statute or the Knox res

by his wife, Mrs. Clemence Roch, two
daughters, Mrs. Sidney II. Bell of this

Pensacola.
Mr. Roch was one Of the Oldest and

years of his active life Mr.. Roch prob
ably came in contact with more men
of the water front than any other
one man along the Gulf coast. For
many years he conducted coffee

has been a gathering resort for all
classes for all occasions.
Mr.. Roch was born in Paris, France,
in 1910 and came to this country with
his father when only years OF age.

Due to the congestion of shipping at
the Liverpool docks we were compelled
TO wait 16 days before a dock was
available for us to discharge our cargo
which consisted of steel billets, lumber,
cotton, naval stores and tunnase,
valued at over one million dollars.
ON January %, 1920 We cleared
Herculaneum docks at Liverpool on
our return voyage to the United
States. The first ten days, we ex-
perieuced very high winds and heavy
seas from the west and southwest, and
very little headway was made against
them. After passing to the southwark

cnced fair weather until our arrival at
Jacksonville, Florida, on February II,
1920.
lon our voyage across to Liverpool
we maintained an average speed of
11.2 knots per hour, and on our return
voyage to the United States we main
tained an average speed 9.4 knots per
hour. Considering the heavy seas and
high winds prevailing, and she. being
light, having only 1900 tons of bal

been expected in the face Of such OBJ

to be one of the finest sea boats afloat,
and is first class cargo boat in every

experienced failed to disclose any leak
