These articles we are reserving for next week, both because the public has still, we suspect, to digest the larger ingredients of the budget, and because, naturally, a budget that has taken months to prepare can- not, apart from its broad policy, be analysed properly in the brief time that has elapsed since Thurs- day afternoon's meeting.

A reporter was assigned to "get the story" and after two days absence from the office he reported that he had it. He wrote a graphic descrip- tion of a sumptuous floating bar, with luxurious appointments that would put to shame the grill rooms of the most exclusive continental habels. He described the ship, her crew, the habitues and even gave her exact location. In fact he described everything too well- too accurately. Captains of vessels who had passed that spot on the night he said he spent aboard the craft, when queried about her, said they had not seen a flicker of light anywhere near the spot where she was supposed to have laid at at Yaumati, yesterday when | bestowal of the correct amount into Passengers arriving by lust the first victory, Bad become anchor.
