Tony
Cnuvley
sugi;esled
that
the
chamber
shouldn't
livsist
on
a
future
drydock
capacity
of
10.000
tons,
saying
the

ance
of
equipment

expensive

enterprise,
and
that
few
big
ships
required
service
here.
However,
Bruce
Brown
retorted
that
between
300
and
400
ships
would
soon
be
travelling
bark

forth
from
Killmat
and
that
Rupert
was
the
logical
port
for
their
repairs."
Mr.
Oilker
pointed
out
that
the
present
three-unit

would
handle

to

In

are
believed
to
have
found
the
boy
and
put
him
aboard
a
train,
knowing
he
would

In

The
hosnital
found
that,
though
he
has
the
body
of
a
normal
boy.
he
has
many
anl-mal
tendencies.
"Ah
this
led
us
to
believe
that
he
was
taken
from
a
vil-.
lage
as
a
baby
and
mothered
since
by
she-wolves,"
Sharma
said.
"It
Is
not
the
first
time
such
a
thing
has
happened.
"The
