...tired old tramp steamer that carried the uranium oxide from Antwerp to the eastern Mediterranean is not likely to be involved in so adventurous a mission again. Last week the salt-caked Kerkyra returned empty to the Greek port of Halkis, after carrying a load of cement to Benghazi in Libya on its regular run. Beneath the paint of the new name, dockside onlookers can still discern welded letters spelling out the old, outlined in cement dust. Scheersberg A has come in out of the cold...

The first $600 in profits was to have been mailed to her more than a year ago; so far she has not seen a cent. Guillermo Seco, a Manhattan physician, made a $35,000 investment through Holzer, who, he claims, sent him glowing earnings reports of the venture.
