The operating cost for the month of March was less than that of any other month since 1921. and the operating results should be very much more favourable during the remainder of the fiscal year, Chair man O'Connor states.
The operating results of the United States Lines for the past ten months have shown a profit of approximately £27,400, as against a loss of approximately £250,000 for the corresponding periods of the
fiscal years 1924, 1925 and 1926.

Mr. James Alfred Jones, a re- porter on the "Evening News," said he wrote the article in question. On April 8, 1928, he went down to Wivenhoe to gather information about Mr. Bayard Brown,, and. es- pecially about the steam yacht. Ho stayed at the local hotel and spoke to some twenty local people, whose names he did not know.
The next day he went to the yard and spoke to members of the crew for some three-quarters of an hour: The yard presented a desolate and deserted scene. There were no signs of life on the half-built ship.
