crew. It appears that Capt. Mc
Gregor. who has been on the run
I for the company for year*, and th-?
j purser had a difference of opinion
immediately after the Dolphin roa.-h

| resulted In the purser manhandling
the captain pretty severely. M?^
iJrepor. who ts a capable captain,
but apparently a hard wan to pet
i along with, didn't have a friend
i among the office crew in Seattle,
iso they applauded Purser Pence's
work, and the latter was given
his walking papers Tho outcome of
the encounter was a surprise, as the
victor is a slim man. no longer
young, while Capt. McgTegor has
always managed to convey the im
pression that he could "lick his
