nation lined her docks No other port could
compare with tt Sho had drawn to her
.virtually all tho commerce of Croat Britain.
Then the port authorities felt their In
dependence and thought they would let up

nearest and biggest customer, complained
Kthat she was not getting vmue received.

price when they finally wish "to spll.
