man called at our office yesterday, and introduced
another, Mr.. Albln b. Chaplin, who declares that
he mate OF the ship General Gates sailed in her
from Boston, in October, 1918, and did not leave
ter till March 1922 and that no such man as Jo-
lseph Price, or any OF those whose names Price
has given as having been roasted and eaten by the
New Zealanders, has ever been on board of her du-
ring that time. Price, il will be recollected stated
that this festival of Cannlbalsm took place in Octo-
Der, 1921. Mr.. Chaplin has the manners of a gem
tleman, has connexions living in Boston, and we
have no doubt of his intelligence and veracity.

has seen him, and charged him with The falsehood.
