The Amethyst escaped from the Yangtze River Saturday night and safely reached the China Sea, the Admiralty announced in London. The sloop had been bottled up in the river since April.

The happiness is not; because Britons have no fear of reprisals- they think Communist reaction is

DEPBO . July 3i --(AP) - Car Wood, the mum speedlboat king, disclosed today the design of s. secret ship that may revolution- ise ocean travel. .

It is the Ito-ton Ocnturi, aaeago- ing vessel. that slices through the waves on twin hulls and has no roll at high speed. Tile Csnturi is unlike anything that has ever been seen on the water.

Wood calls it the prototype, or model, of the express passenger liner of tomorrow. The industrial- ist inventor spent 28 years develop- ing the design at an expenditure of $800,000.

The basic design of the odd- looking craft, Wood said. will per- snit surface vessels to compete fav- orably with trans-ocean airlines.

The ship Vsnturi now is being fitted out as a yacht at Woods’s private 122-acre island estate be- low Miami Beach, Fla. Wood ex- pects it to be completed in about four months.
