that Carroll was not on board and when
the company arrived here telegram

ing that Carroll was sick at his hotel in

something had to be done and there was
nothing left, but TO take one of the
scientific committee and make d Clasher
of him. He was tall and Corroll was
short. He wore Carrolfs clothes and
looked about as awkward in them as
he could be. He acted awkwardly,
and didn't remember any great guam

"An angel from San Francisco was
