"Too Easy"
At the Tower of London, an officer said: "it's too bad of the Sandhurs! people, They've never told us officially about these thefts, and we shall take the matter up very seriously with them."
At the office of the Master Armourer, Sir James Mann, his assistant, Mr Arther Rennard, said: "I think it's likely we shall have to withdraw these pistols, They're too easy to at the academy, and purloin there seems to be a cruze for collecting them which makes the stealing worth while.
"The lens! the Sandhurst people could have done was to let us know officially. I have written them a sülf letter about it. They were supposed to count the pistols they had there."-- Express Service.
