Sheriff. broke off and stared an in

forward; he made no interruption but
only watched Sheriff. attentively.
Between 1886, when l first met him,
and 1895, Corvet laid the foundation of
great success; his boats seemed lucky,
men liked to work for him, and he
got the best shippers and crews. There

at Alan, then past him. "a change

him to come In. Sheriff. went IN and,
when he had made sure that the serv-
