Two were taken from the lower hold, one at each end of the vessel, and two more were found close to the carefully protected section of the vessel in which a rather insignificant but deadly shipment of high explosives was stored. The discovery of the four bombs and their immediate consignment to the sea saved the ship from being blown to bits.
Carmel of a consignment of thirty-two granite monolith columns, part of the initial shipment of material ordered for construction of the arcade of the Báb’s Sepulcher, designed to envelop and preserve the sacred previous structure reared by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Building operations are soon starting notwithstanding the difficulties of the present situation.
Presently the charter and the will were fetched from the Council-chamber into the Burgomaster's office, they were passed around to all the Councilors and the heirs, in order that they might see the privy seal of the city upon them, and the registry of the consignment written by the town clerk upon the charter was read aloud to the seven heirs.

"I see," said Uncle John. "But tell me this, please: Why is Sangoa so little known, or rather, so quite unknown?"

What a shocking waste of life! What callousness to its true worth!
