Mr. McClure, for the prosecution, said that Wentworth introduced Tucker to Cmdr. Rich at al West End hotel us in Australian-Chinese, whose) father was allowing him £60,000 a year.
Tucker said that he was in a position to put up £75,000 for the commander's publishing busi-) ness, and suggested that it would be a good thing for Cmdr. Rich to have an interest in Tucker's ventures,
There were various meetings, and Tucker said that he had contracts for the supply of óbsolete arms to China including 65,000 Hotchkiss guns. He also remarked: "Wentworth and I have been negotiating to supply arms to Abyssinia. I have a contract with the Soley Armament Com- pany."

ANSWERS
Yes, the hunter goes around the squirrel. It is stated that he walks in a circle; hence he "goes around," anything that is inside the circle.
Of course Achilles passes the, turtle. The catch lies in the word Of course, if Achilles never "never," ran past the point the turtle had just left he would never catch the critter, obviously; and this is just what the crafty propounder wanted you to assume. In other words, if Achilles ran 100 yards, and then 10 yards, and then 1 yard, and then 1-10 yard, and so on, he naturally would always be some distance, no matter how small behind the turtle.
Zeno puts a definite stop to Achil les forward progress. But without this stop, in the ordinary course of events, Achilles leaves the turtle gasping in his wake.

A bit of forestalling may be neces sary hore: If you start to build up a map, district by district, and colour each district as you add it, you can always manage to draw one or two districts which need a fifth colour, But if you go back to the beginning and start over you can always colour that same map with only four colours,{
