In a day or two the whole collection would have been stored, and in the meantime it wasn’t likely that the police would bother whether Captain Trevelyan had had one or two pairs of skis." "But why did he hide the boots?" "I suppose," said Emily, "that he ‘was afraid the police might do exact- ly what I did-- The sight of ski boots might have suggested skis to them. So he stuffed them up the chimney. And that's really, of course, where he made his mistake, because Evans noticed that they'd gone and I got to know of it."

The method of reclaiming may vary from straining the oils through canton cotton, blot- ting paper, or felt strainers, to the use ( of filters consisting four layers or soil and sand, or leaving the oil in barrels for long periods of time so that the heavy particles will settle to the bottom. The function of reclaim- ing the oil is to remove the dirt and water from the oils.
