Once in a while. two or three prisoners,
closely watched, march out from the
gloomy doorway TO carry on some neces-

the sea wall. and the guard, with the gun
over his shoulder, stands close by. Finally
one of the prisoners. nice-looking boy

into the hands of the lady nearest him,
whispering: Mail them, please He be-

Of the fort, she glances at the letters. They
have been written by different prisoners

human bones and an old drinking cup were

see fig tree growing out of what seemed
an impossible crevlce in the wall. and

is further affected by the amount Of return
