Mcvea was dealing with that pleas

Portugal, who had proposed to put
the rather shaky government OF the
Cape Verde islands into his hands, to
set things going and pull the finances
together. This would have been a big
step, and meant some $4,000 year

too much of what Scotchmen are sup

the business district of Toronto for
the purpose of completing our camp
