"I shall start for San Francisco to-morrow, having other business there that I need to look after." "I'll go too, Joe," said Joshua.

A few thousand dollars more offered, and double purchase-money, had secured the secret of porcelain-making to Gotzkowsky, and bound the inventor down in Berlin for life. The arrangements necessary for the first attempts were made in one of the out-buildings of his house, and the articles offered to the king were the first-fruits of his factory.
