a Paris contemporary dealing with

gives an amusing account of Chateau

for the press, on returning one day he
was met by his monkey.

but as things did not appear much dis
turbed Chateaubriand thought no more
of the matter until it was time to re-
sumo work. Fontanes' manuscripts
were not to be found.
At last Chateaubriand looked into
the waste paper basket. and these were
the manuscripts. The monkey had
watched his master. and as he had
seen him fold sheet of paper and
tear 1t into four. so he had dealt with
Fontanes' writings With much labor
they were pieeed together and after

Chateaubriand thought II advisable

His orders had disappeared from II

The servants searched everywhere for
them, but they were not to be found.

you see ferryboats and yachts and lighters

than usually interesting. a hotiila of

when it gets little nearer you see that
II is a diaabled steamer surrounded by
