THE MAN WHO NEVER SMILED:

SIN DUNCAN CAMPBELL'S LIFE

HEIR AGED 78:-

Sir

St.

Remarkable stories of the late Duncan Campbell, who died in Thomas's Hospital recently after seizure in a taxicab, were told to the Evening Standard by a friend of the Scottish baronet.

"He lived in the past." That was the description given by this, friend of the Hereditary Keeper of Bar- caldine Castle

For the past thirty years he lived in a detached villa in Ridgway-place, Wimble-a

don.

You could tell what manner of man he was," said his friend. "immediately you entered his home. Hanging on the wall, covered with dust, because he did not like them interfered with, are dirks, claymore, fencing foils, and swords of many kinds, with a goodly display of antlers..

They have lain there for cen turies; but as the foundations of our build- ings to-day are dug deeper and deeper the chances of the relics remaining hidden. become more remote

It may be said, in fact, that avory now building in the City offers the chance of discovery of this kind of antiquarian and historical importance. This has beca praved most satisfactorily within the last month or two in that little triangular plot. of ground near London Bridge which is bounded by Thames-street, Miles-lane,

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the man was that though he lived aloof from the world and was generally eccentric, he attended Royal garden parties and similar functions with the greatest regularity.

"PUTTING MONEY IN THE AIL

It was very seldom that Sir Duncan, visited the Castle, but when he did so he showed his eccentricity by staying at a hotel in Edinburgh.-.

“During the many years that I knew Sir Duncan I never saw bismile. Des pite the fact that he was at heart an aristocrat, he loved to talk to poor people:

He was a non-smoker and teetotaller Smoking is pulling money in the air, he

used to say. "

Part of the wall was discovered about two years ago by Mr. Frank Lambert, F.S.A who was then -engaged at the Guildhall Museum. The new section just unearthed is a continuation of the Lam- bert discovery, and lies a little to the west of Miles-lane It has long been a matter of conjecture how such a structure resisted the force of the tide, which, although not so high nor to powerful as it is now, was of considerable strength iu Reman daya. The difficulty has been brought usarer solution-by the discovery of a number of little wooden walls run- Ding at right angles behind the great one, consisting of tie-beams or smaller cross timbers, each 10ft. long and 18in. square, and apparently dovetailed into it.

An official at the Guildhall puts the date of the wall at about 100 AD., his opinion being based on the nature of the Samian pottery found in the recently excavated pits. Every specimen was-of shape and design which no one-with accurate knowledge of that ware would put more recently than the date mea- tioned. At later date, not exactly known, the Romans built the wall of London, nearer by 60ft to the edge of the river. It is a curions fact that at one portion of the site half the ground be tween
