inse during the weekend. Pros-itlie last of L077 biigs of mail off in pi-cts are considered good for re-it-mall boats Saturday along with

ilnating the 2.043-ton ship by late this week.

Soundings takui Saturday lo- cated a channel with suffii-iciit valer to float the ferry about 300 )dI'd5 from where she lies beached on a sandbar in Grand Bay, six miles west of the ferry terminal here.

most of the express cargo. it was rowed ashore and hauled by pony sled to a waiting train.

The crew reported the Cabot Strait was only slightly damaged iihcn she ran on the beach in an

liiil - mile blizzard last Thursday

morning. The 51 persons aboard were resriied in iishcrmi-n's dor les Thursday afternoon.

T0 DIG CHANNEL

The fishing schooner Mariner sounded adjacent area with I depthfinder Saturday and located the channel to deep water. Mr. Healy said the next problem is to dig away the 300 yards of sand be- tween the stranded ship and tho channel.

The New York salvage tug Curb, equipped with sand-sucking equip- ment. is expected to do the job.

Meanwhile. the CM! coastal ferry Codroy was to drop an an- chor on the seaward side of the Cabot Strait. This would be linked to the grounded ship with 3,400 feet of cable to keep her from be- ing driven iruther up the beach lll heavy weather and enable her to be tightened for refloating.

Two thousand feet of extra cable was brought from North Sydney. N.S., western terminal of the 100-

inilo ferry run. for the anchoring job.

The ferry's crew fired up the ship's boilers again Saturday -- iihc had been without steam since Thursday. They repaired the only ap p ar e nt damage from the rounding, a broken oil line in the engineroom.

Gossip says a sweetheart turned him down wheh he was a poor young man in Belfast and that he's carried his love for her ever since.

"He's a doctor with a real bed-

side manner" said a London tea merchant who retired here. "He iliitters his patients jokes with

them and they love it. He sleeps and he even cooks meals for

in their homes when they need him of

them."

His arrest on a charge of mur- deflnl! a rich old patient was the biggest piece of news here since the end of the war.

Scotland Yard swooped on the doctor after long weeks of snoop tng around Elntbourng, uktng startling questions and digging through 400 dusty wills of the dead. The 'will-makers were pa- tients of Dr. Adams.

The man who arrested Dr Adams in Scotland Yard's gende- man detective. Supt, Herbert (Duke) Hannam. hawk - faced, BNY-haired sleuth who dresses in impeccable . wears a bow- ler and is said to own is dozen pairs of gloves and five dosen hnndkerchiefs.

The two menvthe detective with the rsmrod-straight back and the 730 - D0!-Ind rolypoly doctor who wears old fashioned clothes over thick suits of heavy underwear, are the key figures in what some crime experts call the most fascin- ating case of the century.
