OF their own. Four of the brothers
were assisting in selling papers. All

Chinese. when All Far became man,

tial statements attributed to certain officials

full. He gave a formal military salute a. he
stepped on the deck.
During the voyage. which lasted twenty-five
days. he never showed the least sign OF weak
ness. He did not know that the Court Of Gas.
sation had ordered that he DO retired BY
court martial. When an officer informed him
OF this not a muscle OF his face moved. He
passed his time In reading and rarely spoke.
He said. though. that he bore spite toward nos
body and would gladly re-enter the military
service. His mental condition was good.
Another member OF the ships company said
officers and crew were not to address Dreyfus.
aud were not to answer any questions that he
might ask them. Lieut. Champagne, who
was particularly responsible for the prisoner
was ordered to communicate with him only in
writing. He found that Dreyius did not desire
to talk. When he was on deck. which was for
two hours daily. he did not appear to be de-
pressed or broken down. Toward the end OF
the voyage he ate little. and talked loudly In
his sleep.
NJ. Ngnie. Chief of the Department Of Public
Safety, who took charge OF the landing OF the
prisoner. is reported as saying that Dreyfus
has not aged nearly as much as the papers say
he has. His step on landing was firm and elias
tic though he had rolling gait that no had
acquired during his rough voyage from
Guiana. His manner was COOL and he was
apparently unconcerned. NJ. Vignie says he

no betrayal OF worry. WEAKNESS or nervous
