The abundance of animal life was wonderful, compared with the want of it on the south side of Donkia pass, not five miles distant in a straight line! it is partly due to the profusion of carbonate of soda, of which all ruminants are fond, and partly to the dryness of the climate, which is favourable to all burrowing quadrupeds.
Pemberton Hodgson penetrated, when he afterwards followed my tracks, to ascertain the truth of the rumours, which had been carried by the blacks to Moreton Bay, of my having been either killed by the natives, or destroyed by a hurricane, which was said to have passed through the narrow valley of the confined creek.
On May 29th, Hodgson writes me as follows, showing that the same thing had come up through the heteromatic writing of A.'s wife at Granada in Spain, and meant nothing to her or to A. You may be interested in the inclosed. I am writing from my den, and haven't copy of your sitting at hand. But I remember that something was said at your sitting re B. and A. "GRANADA, May 6, 1894.

Be off, and let me pitch into your young man for daring to refuse my dinner.

Then Hodgson, accompanied by the Warreners, entered the inclosure which surrounded the tomb. Here from five to six thousand of the refuse of the city, many of them armed, were assembled.
But Joe said, "If that's Colonel Lajos Arpád, I suggest you have him in. I took the liberty of phoning him and asking that he meet us here." Frank Hodgson was the first to recover. "Arpád! That spy!
