The latest report about the fate of this masterpiece wis that it was "safe in America," after leaving the Cook collection at Richmond last May,

"My first friend startled mo by stating that the picture had then been bought for Field-Marshal Goering, who, in his spare time, had been Karnering a mighty art collection, the reporter writes.

"But my second informant, quoting chapter and verse for his testimony, as he had been on the English side of the deal, avowed that two days before the entry of Holland into the war "The Three Morys" pleture was sold to a Dutch syndicate at its in- sured price of £300,000.

They are handling great salmon seines 200 fathoms, or 800 feet long and from 12 to 48 feet in depth, de- pending on the nature of the channel and tides. On a haul, they bring in from 200 pounds more than a ton of red- meated salmon.
