S. S. EXILONA. OFF THE COAST
OF GREECE, April 15.-Samuel In
sull, on his way home to do battle with
the courts on fraud charges, is show
ing anything but dismay at the situ-
alton. and for the first time evidences
a disposition to talk.
He does not say anything about his
plans for facing accusations in the
United States, but his attitude and
appearance are in direct contradiction
to reports depicting him as broken
old man.
He spent yesterday, the first day out
of Smyrna, Turkey, chatting with
passengers and ships officers and ex-
amining the vessel.
He had a brush with man who
attempted to take a photograph of
him, flying into anger and calling him
down loudly in the presence of pass
engerS.
Refuses to Pose.
MY mug IS my own property" he
stormed. You have no right to pho
tograph it. l will not consent to it."
Later, however. he agreed to let his
picture be taken today, although at
first he threatened to shut himself up
in his cabin if the man persisted.
When fellow passenger told him
jokingly. Il would trade my money for
yours he got back a quick retort.
That's the greatest insult you could
cast on me-" insult said. II have re-
peatedly said I have sunk everything
I had in my business, and that's the
truth"
In conversation he referred to him
self as failure. but said there is one
thing that never can be taken from
me-my past accomplishments"
Asked how he could discuss politics
and other subjects with the situation
in mind he said:
Men who have handled many big
business deals are accustomed to put
ting one matter from their thoughts
before paying attention to another"
Not to Go Ashore.
insult is never out of sight of the
vigilant Burton Berry, the American
consular representative charged with
bringing him home, but he is free to
go where he pleases on the ship. He
will not be permitted to land when a
stop is made at Catania, Sicily, on
Tuesday.
Early today the Exilona was blowing
through a calm sea between Crete and
Greece, in the Mediterranean.
Besides insult, Berry and newspa-
permen on the ship are the following
passengers: Miss Lillian Burke, To-
ronto, Canada Miss Laura Phillips,
Asbury Park, N. j.; Mrs. Louise S.
Dvorak, Jackson Heights, N. Y; Ralph
Karger, Forest Hills. N. Y, and Cyris
Newcomb. Grand Rapids, Mich.
The 74-year-old former utilities
executive chatted happily in the ships
saloon about his memoirs, on which.
he said, he had not yet started.
He found satisfaction also in the
possibility that Mrs. insult, who is
now in Athens, may join him at
Catania.
Perhaps when all my troubles are
over and I have time to reflect and
get my papers in order shall write
my memoirs" the white haired man
told an Associated Press representative.
1T is practically impossible for a
man to write hi; memoirs when he is
under the strain have been under
going.
But when / do write them there is
one story I won't fail to tell-that's
how 1 evaded Greek police in getting
away from Athens"
He pondered awhile when he was
asked to give details of his flight from
Greece aboard a little Greek tramp
steamer. the Maiotis, a month ago
while police ostensibly were guarding
him closely in order to expel hin
forcibly.
He looked up and smiled. IT won't
