last that | saw waving back al

great deal of talk about him, the

utilize this force it will be necessary 10 bring il

railroad by which it can be transported. and
that is an old and poorly constructed affair AT
one place this railroad passes over Niagara
Falls,a cataract 1900 feet high. near Labrador. -
