New York, Feb. S.-(Br tha Associated

Hera ia tha story. After tha Mount

Cecile, tha famona ''fold ihip" that
raced la to Bar Harbor ia tha early dtri
of tha war had baea aeiaed ai a troop
ahlp, bar Geraiaa crew cut two-thirds of
tha way through tha four aim inch bolt,
that eoaaeeted tha engines with the
aia crank-shaft. Tha skillfully -made
cuts remained hidden by the Suing of
tha engines, ai were oaly discovered
recently whea tha engines were taken
apart.
It is to be presumed that ia re rials
American detention ramps thrra were
trained Certain engineers who waited
eagerly for reports which did not came
of "something happening", to tha con
verted troop ship. For it is believed
that the bolts were left barely holding

But tha break down never earns. Lock
or. toughness of steel permitted tha liner
to make a duaea round trips through
submarine infested seas carrying on
each voyage from ifliX) to 4,1100 man.
Just to round things out, she encircled
the globe to bring troops homo from

The Mount Vernon had several nsr

and 33 of her erew killed, but made her
