The agent was told that he could no longer act for the ship in any capacity, and the Panaghia was ordered to a remote section of the harbor, where an Egyptian patrol launch was set to watch it night and day. Meanwhile, Captain Koutales' supplies of food and water were running out fast, and the Egyptians refused to allow him to replenish either...
...murky section of London that takes its name from the long-departed Elephant and Castle Tavern,* exuberant Teds rioted for three consecutive nights, crashed in the door of one theater, streamed through neighborhood streets and taverns, smashed windows, threw bottles, heaved automobiles over on their sides.

Dehill Jr., 31, of Cambridge. In Paris Mrs. Halpert found young Americans hemmed in by high costs and an abstractionist syndrome, but she spotted some work she liked, including...
Nevertheless, the roads are sure to profit by a merger. All three run parallel routes along sizable sections of track, could save millions in maintenance and tax charges by abandoning some sections, downgrading others. Since all three are dieselized, they would need less equipment, could shift engines from one section to another as traffic demanded, could also combine many duplicating services, from secretaries to freight yards...
