#

SINGAPORE, Jan. 2 (UP)-Nicola, the well-known American magician, is consulting the Admiralty and salvage experts regarding the possibility of recovering some of his magician's equipment which he lost when the British liner Sirdhana sank in a minefield off Singapore harbour.

Apart from financial considerations (Nicoln's effects were not insured against, war risks), some of the equipment lost con- cerned illusions which were the result of several years' work and which cannot easily be reproduced.

Nicoin also lost a gold wand which was presented to him by a conference of 100, magicians at Peoria, Illinois.

Nicola says he is not superstitious like most theatrical folk, but he is not a 11ttle worried by the unlucky significance of the number 13 after the following experience:

5. When Nicola came ashore he found 13 cents in his pocket. On his way to his hotel he paid the money to a ricksha coolle in advance and the coolle cut his foot on a piece of glass on the way.

All Nicola would say about these coincidences was that ho would take care not to sail for America on January 13 and will make sure that 13 divers don't take part in the salvage work.
