''The consul is brother of Hackfeld,
and, as might have been expected, the
men were given their choice of going
back to the plantation or going on the
reef. They chose the reef, and they are

how the newspapers were really stolen
One morning as he was watching the
residences near Oakley and Warren av
enues, which is the locality where the
papers had regularly disappeared, he
saw a dog dash for paper and run
swiftly away with it. So astounde6
