Father McCormack, who was named as a director, also took five £1 shares. It was agreed that Doyle should be paid £30 a year for the mill. At that point the scheme broke down, mainly because no one else would take any shares at all. A couple of years later Doyle tried again. This time he suggested a stocking manufactory.

"I'm damned," he said, "if I'm going to stand this." Meldon also dismounted. "Get up at once, Simpkins," he said. "We are late enough as it is." "I'm going straight home," said Simpkins.

During the past five years, when the product in the Congo fields has grown steadily, not a single karat has been stolen. The same situation obtains in the Angola fields. In company with Doyle I visited the eight principal mines in the Congo field and saw the process of mining in all its stages of advancement.
