observed to phone in on Monday night by two gentlemen
on the opposite bank, to whom he offered a silk handker-
chief, observing, "Yen may as well have this." They said
it WAS too far to go round, to which he replied, their
journey was not so far as the one be was going to make.
They thought be was joking, but he immediately after
