DOCTOR'S

THRILL

(Continued from Page t.)

The whole journey was most pleasant except for one thing." smilingly remarked Dr. Loo. "That was the unearthly experience of getting up at 2.30 in the morning at certain sections of the airway route!"

Dr. Loo suld that he had not quite decided his plans of travel to Nanking. If he could get an aeroplane in Canton to-morrow, he would travel" that way.

If this connection is possible, Dr. Loo will have travelled from Lon-

Perhaps if Dr. Leo had arrived here three months hence, he might then have been able to travel to

Canton by air.

Dr. Loo sald that he was con- nected with the Nanking Govern- ment and was looking forward to renewing his ties with that city,
