and among them were the two travellers.
| One of them, he said, had the temerity
| to bet him a few dollars that when the
| boat pulled out for Manila in the after
noon they would be aboard and without
| the captains knowledge or consent.

| they would have a hard time getting
aboard, and he asked the police to
assist in keeping off stowaways. In
| formation reached the Army people
| that the two men would attempt to
smuggle aboard by donning soldier uni
! forms.

and all employees of the troopshlp were

not found.
