identifying Houses

Before houses were numbered,
London's business streets were
lined on both sides by a success
sion of gay signboards exhibiting
an almost infinite variety of blue
boars, black swans, red lions,
flying pigs and the like. Even
with these signs it was often hard
to find ones destination, for the
signs were often so badly painted
that it would have puzzled a natu-
ralist to make out the animal
meant.

Sir Henry Howorth was taken
aback one day when introduced to
a gushing lady who declared that
she was SO charmed to meet him
because she wished to talk to him
about her little dog.
"But l know nothing about
dogs" he protested.
"Oh, how can you say So" she
said, when you have written
books about them?"
"Never, madam, never!"
"But surely" she persisted,
"you have written a history of the
mongrels?"
"Mongols, madam, mongolsl"
he barked. 'Not mongrels."-

A lean Chinese boy in coolie

carrying the provisions out of sight.
Vic and the man went into the big,
main room that constituted almost
the entire cabin.
At both sides of it were raised
wide alcoves with windows; thick
blue canvas curtains could shut
them off from the main room. Each
of these contained three beds,
