panied by the Senef, another of
the station vessels carrying gaso-
line and oil, had attempted to
reach Cartwright, Labrador, Sat

treat to Criqueton, on the New

the wind was offshore from the

they would try another dash for
Cartwright before the end of the

for the release Of the mortgage.
Attorney Blansfield objected on
the grounds that real estate agents

$4,000. Mr. Blans1eld, represent
ing the depositors' committee of
the bank said under the proposed
plan, the bank would be losing a
