The

has
left

Having
completed
Its

that

into

the
ship
took

to
Canada.
During

the
ship,
in
addition
to
its
regular
duties,
conveyed
sick
persons
from
Isolated

to
St.

and
rescued

In

On
one
occasion
Lieut.
J.
C.

commander
of
the
Rlverton,
received
an
emergency
call
at
his
home
and
11
minutes
later
the
f

was
steaming
outside
the
narrows.
Included
In
the
Rlverton's
adventures
was
the
towing
of
the

and
the
rescue
of
the
motor

The
vessel
also
brought

Hints
of
"disastrous
results"
from
gold

spokesmen
and
statements
from
tourist
heads
that
"it
would
not
make
much

were
among
the
almost
endless
repercussions
today
to
the
government's
announcement
that
the
Canadian
dollar
is
at,
par
with
the
United
States
dollar.
The
decision
means
that
gold
mines
will
now
receive
$35
an
ounce
for
gold,
instead
of
$38.50
an
ounce
which
they
formerly
got
in
Canadian
funds.
Exporters
of
other
Canadian
products,
including
lumoer
and
paper,
naturally
suffer
a
similar
revenue
loss.

for
