WANDERER'S LIFE OF ADVENTURE

ENDS AMONG ROSES.

GOLD: DIGGER AND TIBET

"EXPLORER

Few men, if any, of his own time have had more adventures and escanes than Mr. hairbreadth Alexander Hill Gray, the famous Bath rosarian, who died amidst the paradise of rosen he had created at his home, Beaulieu, Newbridge Hill, Bath, aged 91.

For the past 30 years he had sought to live in perpetual, son- shine.

He spent every summer in England, and retired every win ter to his beautiful island home at Santa Maria, in the Azores of which he was the uncrowned king.

Mr. Gray had roamed the world, and in a recent work, entitled "Sixty Years Ago," he told the story of his amazingly adventurous

career.
