Companion Mr. Hedges'. throughout the cruise was Lady

Richmond Brown. Together they claim to have setup several world's records for deep-sea fishing, and to have nenterated into the territory of the Chucuraque Indians, from which, it is said, no white person has ever before escaped alive.

Lady Brown left Mr. Hedges on their return to Colon, in Panamá, and came on 10 England by passenger boat.

She was at the quayside when Mr. Hedges arrived, bringing home with him the 20-ton motor-launch, "Kasa," in which they journeyed inany thousands of miles, and the West Indian nigger, Henry Robin son, who accompanied them on the trip.
