they would depart without the proper
| leave taking OF their friends. Guards
were posted at all points of egress and a
| Jealous watch maintained. The victims
| were allowed to get into their team,
loaded with rice enough to last lifetime,
and before they drove off, white tell-tale
bows decked the carriage at various points.
BY the different directions the party took
it was not known by the send-off COM
! mittee whether they were to take tbs :37
train or drive a vay, until that train had
