in the fourth chapter paved the way TOT
his downfall, which was eventually
brought about by Messrs. Foster ana

to forgive the umpire.

Taylor, however, proved the steadler,
and deserved the long end Of the after

and the Ansons took advantage OF the
opening. To make matters worse the

and had no one to blame but himself
that the ship was scuttled and sunk.

be told briefly, and then the recitation
would probably require more time than
actually transpired in the enactment.
