BRIXHAM. England (AP)-The last of the ballast of Mayflower II was tucked into her bold Thurs- day. The best guess of veteran sailing men was that the little vessel will leave this harbor Mon- day to start the voyage to Am- cries.

The bottom of Mayflower II. a replica of the Mayflower in which the Pilgrims sailed, is painted white. For days that white has been showing above the waterline.

The premier later expressed qualified satisfaction with the ar- rnnsement. saying that he is still looking for a better deal and in- tends to continue negotiations.

"We're asking for something that would be more advantageous but couldn't be finalised as yet." he said after talking with Prime Minister St. Laurent and Trade Minister Howe. Wednesday. he conferred with the finance minis- ter.

Premier Matheson said that what he suggested "could happen in a month. or at the next session of Parliament."

While he would not mention what he was seeking specifically a federal informant said the pre- mier had indicated that the floor of tax-sharing payments to the provinces from Parliament's trea- sury should be increased.

The arrangements announced by Mr. Harris Thursday as the result of the island premier's consulta- tions will affect four other prov- inces-Newfoundland. New Bruns- wick. Msniboba and Saskatche- wan.
