Lost Magician "Prop

#

SINGAPORE, Jan. 2 (UP)-Nicola, the well-known Americun 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 Anancial considerations (Nicola's effects were not insured agaișst war ristis), some of the equipment lost con- cerned illusions which were the result of several years' work and which cannot easily he reproduced.

Nicoln also lost gold wand which was presented to him- by a conference of 100 magicians at Peoria, Ilinola, A

Nicola says he is not superstitious like most theatrical folk. but he is not a little worrled by the unlucky significance of the number 13 after the following experience:

1. He had 13 in his company, 10 Americans and three

Australians, were on the Sirdhana.

2. The accident happened on the 13th month of his tour. 3. The Sirdhana sailed on Nov. 13. She left the wharves at

9.13 a.m

1. Thirteen people lost their lives. A Chinese woman was

killed in..Cabin 13.

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

All Nicola would say about these coincidences was that he 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.
