By the Associated Press.

Discovered in a lifeboat after mem- bers of the crew of the liner Paris had reported the presence of a ghost aboard the vessel, George, after five days of munching a supply of canned corned beef, was glad to get ashore, he said, if for no other reason than a change of diet. His lifeboat, he pointed out, was near enough for him to smell fried chicken and pork chops, and it was a sneak to the savory galley that made 1926. his return trip a matter of news. He was sent to Ellis Island, where, it de- veloped, he had been employed before starting on his travels. The travels, he said, were monoto- nous, being merely from one French ail to another.
