...large percentage of the $250,000 sought, but a beginning. The real campaign will come after the General Convention of the Episcopal Church (Sept. 16-Oct. 3), and will be a slow, intensive process.

Morgan's friend, old George Fisher Baker, agreed that they were mighty useful fellows. Davison, as the world knows, was received into the Morgan fold. Wiggin acquired a rarer distinction.

In 1929 Submarine Boat, still submerged in losses, crashed into a receivership. Shippingmen thought it unlikely that the Dollar Line would place Transmarine's vessels back in the well-served intercoastal route from which they were withdrawn...
