Sullivan and Boven heard thelr fates impassively but Everett Me- Kibbon's head dropped to his chest, And Findlay McLeod, who testified for the Crown against all the others seemed overcome with sur- prise and despair.

Brandes, head of the U, B, Bug» ar Expedition that for eight months cut its way through an unexplored territory larger than the state of Texas, Some of the finest speci» mens, taken from cane 80 feet tall, were cut 2,000 miles up the Fly river, where the junglered pygmies and head-hunters, frenfled at thelr first sight of white men and a sea lane, kept the explorers constantly n danger, 4 There, in the original home of sugar cane, Dr, Brandes found evl- dence of mosaic, but most of the cane appeared to be unaffected, He made cuttings from the healthiest cane, waxed the ends, and shipped them to the United States in alr. tight cans of charcoal, The first shipment, planted by the government before Dr, Brandes returned, failed entirely to grow, due probably to excessive refriger- ation en route, The second shi ment already has produced thrifty young plants, Dr, Brandes brought the third shipment with him, snd » personally supervising the plant.
