follow-by which is meant that the

on gems, but a slice of studded

technical but clear: the main in
terest lies in his shrewd observations
on the many strange characters
with whom he has come into con-
tact, and the effects they have had
on one another's lives.
1t is a sort of adventure story
without plot, dealing, as it does,
with smuggling, theft, chicanery,
narrow escapes. lucky finds, super

trade, and the like. Each incident
is so complete in itself that the only
thread necessary to hold them to-
