Lem lwingard Sells Sia m

Former Alaskan Negotiates Sale 10 Government
 of ThdiIand <

L. G. Wingard, formerly Alaska agent of the Bureau of Fisheries, now associated with the Pacific Ma rine Company of Seattle, has just completed negotiations with the Ad- miral Oriental Line and the Thai (Siam) government for the sale of the Admiral Laws and the Admiral Senn.
 These two ships are the first ocean going vessels the Thai gov- ernment has ever owned. About the transfer which was &C., complished by Wingard, the San Francisco Chronicle of July 2 says:
 Marine lookouts report the pres crce of the first Siamese flag to fly on ship in the port of San Francisco.
 She is the Admiral Laws, formerly Sunugentco, a 20-year- old cargo ship of a268 gross tons, owned by the Admiral Oriental Line, San Fran cisco
 The Admiral Laws, just renamed Suriyothai Nawa, has been here since June 3 awaiting sale to the Trailand government, and now carries that nations flag. She is scheduled to sail from here with cargo of pe- troleum for Bankok.
 A second ship soon to fly the Sia- mesc flag will be the Admiral Senn, owned by the same steamship com pany. Though permission to trans fer both vessels to the Tailand gov- ernment was recently granted by the Commission, the Senn's sale has not yet been announced.
 The Admiral Senn is being trans ferred now and will have her name changed and sail for Thai about 1 July 10.
