THIS is the curious story of William Henry Pattinson, aged 69, a professor of languages, who collapsed in the street in Capetown recently and died.
On him was found a passport which showed that he
had only recently visited Hongkong.
But no one in this Colony seems to know anything about hini.
He did not register at any of the leading hotels.
So far as is known, he did not report his arrival or departure to the local police.
