| apologize for not having ac-
knowledged previous favors. It
was not possible to get messages
direct to you. Newspaper re-
porters and Associated Press
swipers were stealing my most
important messages faster than
l could write them. They have
even "sniped" much of the mate
rial for my greatest book-"What
l Killed in Niggerland, "-and
also many of my best and most
thrilling magazine articles, for
which was to receive from one
fifty to two dollars a word. But
l have plenty left. l now send
all of my dispatches around by
the new North Pole station to
insure their safe delivery.
To be brief as possible, / have
had the time of my life. All the
great things that l had previ-
ously accomplished; all the very
important events of my most
strenuous life, sink into the un-
fathomable depths of Oblivion
when compared with what l have
seen and done since crossing the
bOrderland of Blacklist Africa.

and live things l have captured
