It Wis all in coarse notes and totaled s63a5. He couldn't believe his eyes. An>s with his senses dazlled by his un2re- cedented success, he didn't forsut the promise he had made before he sailed away from the land of his birth. lie lad given his word that he would r.. turn in time to take part in the ai- ruai boxing carnival given for she benefit of the Nazarath House of Car diff. an institution that cares for and provides a home for orphans of ten der age.
