Ship That Took Shore Leave, Aboul 12 years age an English steamer which ran between Latin America and England was pieked up by a tidal wave and washed far in- land on the coast of Central America. There it was 'deposited upright in | good condition, but stranded over a mile from the water. The owners collected their insur- ance and Lloyds proceeded to adver- tise the hull for sale. Some Central Americang took the boat at au Tow figure and used the engines as a power station, working the ship for nine years in this way with consid- erable profit. 'When the war came and boats rose a number of Americans bought anTop- tion on the boat and gambled in get- ting it back to the ocean. Using the ship's own power, they dug a channel ahead of the boat and finally got it float. (A little ealking and a crew enabled the vessel to reach San Francisco, where it was held up for f white pending an investigation of its papers, long since out of regis ry. When the Americans had rebabili- tated the ship, they vere offered $1,- 500,000 for it, but declined that sum to take a higher figure.
