MFR. Henry Savage Landor, the young
explorer, who has been recently tortured
in Thdbet, possesses many qualities which
at once attract. At first one is mesled
as to his real character, as In app sanance
and manner he is not in the least Like
the brave, dashing explorer or soldier SO
often described i'm books. His age IS
probably %, though ne looks much
younger He is small and dark, with a
pleasant face, and speaks in a slightly
drawing, languid voice; but beneath TINS
lazy manner Lies am enormous amount OF
will-power and genuine pluck, wnicn ex-
tend even to the minor matters of life.
