One was Lokana, servant of the
King, do not know whether he was
the bearer of any messages. Be

was allowed to enter the palace
grounds. The King was not in
sympathy with Wilcox's plans. l
did not talk with Wilcox about
them. 1 did not say at my house
in the presence of Pahia that the

by the new constitution of 1887.
Do not recollect that 1 said the
Ministers ought to be put out, fol
they were the ones that did away
