UNITT’S VENTURE,
BANKRUPT IN CONSEQUENCE. /
Mr Fnitt, on being interviewed in London as to his future plans, said:: ‘.I suposo I will have to join the ranks of the unemployed, for 1 am bankrupt.” He explained that he went out to the yawl three timcsbefore they ran on to a sandbank. He first took off his daughter, secondly, his dog, and the third time he collected all possible valuables but was dismayed to discover that the tin box containing the money had been washed overboard. They worked • their passages back to Bristol aboard a collier from Oporto, he as purser and his daughter as a s tcwardcss. Their only worry since the wreclc had been dependence on others, owing to their pennilessness. Their failure was due to a defective motor. He believed they would have succeeded if only the motor had taken them round Finistcrrc. One of rescued possessions was a Bible from a troop of Boy Scouts he had founded.
