usual, the old clerks began to arrive at
the building and every newcomer was
greeted with ELUSIVE welcomes by his
comrades. And then they told tales OF
marvellous escapes and each was again
and again questioned as to where he
was at the awful moment.
Tears filed many eyes as each told oi
his experiences and how he had seen on'
