I have been in every Chinese den and haunt in East London I'm certain that Chang Li is nowhere down there. I have spent money like water employed Chinese and Easterns on whom I could depend there isn't a trace of him! And so we gave up last night. Purvis and I baffled.

Isn't that so, Pugh?" "Tress, what what was in the box?" "I will be frank with you, Pugh. If there had been something in the box, would you have been willing to go halves with me in my discovery?"
