miles from the Azores the fog cleared somewhat and 1 saw a ship
beneath us.
i was unable to distinguish its nationality. but i dropped down
almost vertically until / was just over its prov, letting its GREY know
by my maneuyers that 1 wanted them to broadcast our position for
those who would be waiting to hear from u.s.
The brisk descent awoke Williams. who told m e not to do that any
more, since it might cost us dear.
We experienced two storms of little importance during the trip, one
OF these at 6 q. m Tuesday, and the other at s L.. m. Both drove us
somewhat off our course, and upon the occasion Of the latter we S

1900 feet.
This extreme height continued until we passed Oporto. and Cane

Suit Seeks Recovery
OF 1899 Repair Bill

Fernandez versus Eleazer 5. Gar
cia was taken under advisement by
the Cameron county court at law

figure introduced by the plaintiff
and further that age and natural
causes were responsible for the de-
cay of the building.
Elmer Yates represented the
plaintiff and Canales and Eidman
were defense attorneys.

China and elder statesman of the
Kuomintang, ardent republican, finds
there is no better way to start on any
reconstructive work than at the very
bottom. With this thought in mind he
has withdrawn from the political spot

village in South China to become
magistrate. why should a former
premier want to be a magistrate?" he
asked. and promptly replied: There is
no greatness that is more worth while
or more lasting than the consciousness
of having done Job that one is fitted
to do and that can be carried through
to q practical success. Great plans
may be made for whole nation, but
