It was Mr. Blood‘s turn to sneer. "If your wit were as big as your voice, my dear, it‘s the great man you‘d be by this." "In the name of humanity, sir!" said he, on a note of anger. "This is England, not Tangiers. The gentleâ€" man is in sore case. He may not be moved without peril to his life," Captain Hobart was amused. "Who the hell may you be?" he exploded. "I . . .

The clatter of hooves and hcarso shouts that heralded their approach disturbed him not at. all But his lordship, who had now recovâ€" ered consciousness, showed considerâ€" able alarm, and the battleâ€"stained Jeremy Pitt sped to cover in a clothes press. Baynes was uneasy. Mr. Blood stood for a moment silâ€" ently considering his patient. â€" Then he called for water and linen and what else he nceded for his work. In the spacious, stoneâ€"flagged hall, the doctor found Lord Gildoy.

These high figures are mainly due to the exâ€" port of cocoa, the Geld Coast being the chief cocoa producing country of the world. The export for 1925 was 50 per cent. of the wor‘1‘s total producâ€" tion.

"I was there, my lord, in my qualâ€" ity as a physician, to dress Lord Gilâ€" doy‘s wounds." "Captain Hobart has testified to what he knowsâ€"that he found me at Oglethorpe‘s Farm on the Monday morning after the battle of Weston. But he has not told you what I did there." The judge broke in. "Why, what should you have been doing there in the company of rebels?" Blocd stood boldly forward, erect, selfâ€"possessed, and saturnine. As the Captain‘s evidence concludâ€" ed, Lord Jeffreys looked across at Peter Blood. The only witrmess called for the King was Captain Hobart. He testiâ€" fied bri{kly to the manner in which he had found and taken the three prisoners, together with Lord Gildoy. The clerk calledt upon Andrew Baynes to hold up his hand and plead. From Baynes, who pleaded not guilty, the clerk passed on to Pitt, who boldly owned his guilt. From them Mr. Blood‘s calm, de liberate glance passed on to consider the Lords Commissioners, and parâ€" ticularly the presiding Judge, whose terrible fame had come ahead of him from Dorchester. At the upper end, on a raised dais, sat the Lords Commissioners, the five judges in their scarlet robes and heavy dark periwigs, Baron Jeffreys of Wem enthroned in the middle place. The prisoners filed in under guard. Mr. Blood considered with interest the twelve good men and true that composed the jury. Neither good nor true did they look. The hall, even to the gallerieeâ€" thronged with spectators, most of whom were ladiesâ€"was hung in scarâ€" let. CHAPTER III. THE LORD, CH|E® JUSTICE. It was not until two months laterâ€" on the 19th of Septemberâ€"that Peter Blood was brought to trial, upon a charge of high treason. Two months of inhpman, unspeakable imprisonâ€" ment had moved his mind to a cold and deadly hatred of King James and his representatives. His chain companion on that march to prison had been the same Jeremy Pitt who had been the agent of his present misfortunes. The young shipâ€" master had remained his close «omâ€" panion after their common arrest. The soldiers trailed out by the door leading to the interior. Mr. Blood was thrust by his guards into the courtyard. From the threshold of the hall, he looked back at Captain Hoâ€" bart' and his sapphire eyes were blazing. ts Then the Captain stepped to the prees, and pulled open one of the wings of its massive oaken door.

Barnum did not consider himself finally committed to the project, yet he made every provision for its fulâ€" fillment the moment that he was satâ€" isfied there would be no extracedinary danger in the flight. He announced through the press that he would willâ€" ingly invest $50,000 if he thought "that there was no unusually good chance of the voyagers losing their lives." It was a good newspaper yarn but nothing ever came of it save talk. Barnum went to Spitalfields, Manâ€" chester, Lyons and other places abroad to ascertain the probable cost, and learned that it would be at least $830,000. The kind of balloon recommended was a balloon made of tulle elik, proâ€" perly seasoned and air tight. There were to be an inner and an outer balâ€" loon, fitting closely as hand and glove, but independent of each other. "The whole to be cighty feet in diameter. The balloon would hold 268,000 fest of gas and possess a lifting power of 16,700 pounds. Hodsman told Barnum that he had constructed a balloon, inflated it, left the gas in it for thirty days, and not a leak or break could bo found in the fabric at the expiration of that time. If Barnum would have such a balloon made for him, Hodman would willingâ€" ly attempt to cross from America to England. The voyage would have to be begun in America, according to the theory of Professor Nadir of France, who said that a strong current of air from west to east prevails at a cerâ€" tain altitude. Both scientists told Barnum that the passage could be made in fortyâ€"eight hours. Fiftyâ€"three years before Captain Charlee A. Lindbergh accomplished his flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris, that illustrious whowman, P. T. Barnum, startled the |eountry with a scheme to finance a balloon â€" voyage to Europeâ€"and |thereby obtained wide publicity for | Barnum and his museum. Thus assured, Barnum gave his close attention to the question and conferred with eminent scientists. Nearly every scientist assured him the undertaking was practicable. Next he turned his attention to the cost of preparing a balloon and the best means of preparing for it. A Philadelphia aeronaut named Wiso and his son were eager to try the feat, as were also cight aeronauts in Europe. One of them, an official in the English mint, had written to Barnum stating that he would make the transatlantic trip in a balloon if it were prepared as he desired. There was really nothing to fear, Professor Hodsman of Dublin had crossed the Irish Channel the previous year (1873) in a balloon, and he assured Barnum that there was little risk in the adventure. Barnum was usually front page news and when he arrived home from a Europeanitrip in 1874 he called in the newspaper reporters to tell them about his proposed overseas balloon. Barnum said he had no personal doâ€" sire to cross the Atlantic by air, and he would not encourage others to make the voyage until he was reasonably certain that it could be made without imperiling the lives of the acronauts.

It presents a historical sketch with the incidents leading up to the necessity for the surâ€" vey, the present boundaries, methods of survey, actual surveys made, and a general description of the district. An appendix giving the results of magne tic declination onservations is elso included. At that time only a small portion of this boundary line had been run upon the ground, namely that part of the meridianâ€"line boundary lying south G% Winnipeg River. _ The necessity for further demarcation of the boundary soon became apparent for reasons principally connected with administrâ€" tion, and in 1921 and 1922 the meriâ€" the point at which it turns northeastâ€" erly. This was performed under Ihe direction of two commissioners, the Director of Surveys, Toronto, for the Province of Ontario, and the Surveyorâ€" Ceneral, Oitawa, for the Dominion of Canada. The interests of the Province of Manitoba were considered to be the same as those of the Dominion since Domirion lands only were affected. When Ontario and Manitoba were extended in 1912 the boundary between them was defined. This was to be along the thenâ€"existing meridiandine eastern boundary of Manitoba to a point about 265 mifles north of the Inâ€" ternational boundary from which point it turned northeasterly in a straight line to the eastern edge of Island Lake and thence in a straight line to the inâ€" tersection of the €0th parallel of latiâ€" Bay. k . R These possibilities are indicated in the mineral dovelopment that has alâ€" ready talon place in the Pas area in Manitoba, on the recent discoverics of the Red Lake area in Ontario, in the forest wealth as a source of timber and pulp wood, in the available power resources of the innumerable water falls, in the hunllng, fishing, and tourâ€" ist attractions, ond the many other feaâ€" tures.
