Some Experiences
The complainant was represented by Mr. Hinahing Lo. Mr. J. M. d'Almada Remedios, for the defen- dant, applied for a remand and particulars of the offences alleged.
After considerable argument, Mr. Whyte-Smith slowed Mr. Lo to open
his case.

Mr. Remedios did not admit the alleged agreement and objected to Mr. Lo's ex parte statement.

Mr. Whyte-Smith suggested an amicable settlement of the dispute, and Mr. Remedios replied that his client was anxious to come to a settlement.
Mr. Lo asserted that his client had tried to avoid publicity, but was

was later rescued and afterwards went on to Tibet.
In Tibet, he was imprisoned by the Llamas for six days, 'but escaped, travelled 120 miles, past Mount Everest and reached the Indian frontier. His route was next through Burma down along the coast to the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, Mongolia, Manchuria, Korea and Japan. He worked his way in a Japanese steamer to Vancouver, thence to Alaska, Canada, the United States, and Central and South America.
"Up a Tree"
In the Amazon basin he was bit. ten by a strange reptile and later convalescing: took
А British steamer to Tristan da Cunha, one of the world's loneliest spots. From there, he worked across to South Africa, where in the Congo | region, he was six hours in a tree where he had climbed to avoid the attacks of a rhinoceros. Between Uganda and Abyssinia he met a small dwarf-like tribe, called Niam-Niam, where he went 15 days without sleep, for fear that if he lay down to rest the unfriendly people would kill him.

He said that any attempt at an amicable settlement was hopeless as defendant declined to abide by any agreement.
His Worship decided to give a week's adjournment in order to dis- cover what actually transpired at the S.C.A. He also expressed the hope that by the next hearing, the case would have been settled out of Court.
Mr. Remedios said that he was willing to work toward that end, but Mr. Lo remarked that he did not feel optimistic about it, and this led Mr. Remedios to retort that apparantly Mr... Lo had a grudge against his client.
The only decoration Captain Zetto wears is a gold medal in triplicate presented to him while in Central India by Maharajah Sir Kishun Parshud Bahadur, for having been the first white man to walk through the potentate's territory, although a black feather book which he carries with him is packed full of stamps, visaes, testimonials and signatures of a thousand and one officials.

"I am stronger than ever before," wrote a "Sanatogen-wer, after having taken this preparation for a time.
A hot climate has made many a man a'nervous wreck. Remember, however, that you can be strong and full of energy, if you take Sanatogen regularly.
Sanatogen by the power of its constituents- albumin and phosphorus-infuses into the cells of nerves, blood, and body, exactly those elements which build up nerve-strength lastingly,
