HEY came at us we turned the corner—three of them only, but viclous-looking fellows, and they carried knives. We were walk- t ing steaithily, but they still had the advantage. of the surprise, and there was nq time to draw.a gun. Isaacs, as was natural enough, for he was an old man, turped:and fled with great lumbering strides, making for the Toom from which we.hsd. came, and both the Chinaman and I -were suc- cessful in evading the first rush. - Our English_ guide, however, was not “so lucky. I found afterwards that he had been supplied through some agency, and though he would probably have been ready enough to fight in an ordinary way, his attitude towards the statuette and our precautions was that it was all bunkum. He was, in fact, actually looking behind him when we turned the corner. He paid for his temerity with many months in the hospital, for the first man to spring out left his knife quivering in his shoulder, ‘and the Chinaman and I were faced with the three of them. I narrowly missed putting my own assailant out of action with my first blow. He half-ducked, however, and my fist, which should have got him on i disa the jaw, slithered along the side of his face. He went reeling back, but I had no time to follow up my advantage, for I had to drop the coffer to defend my-| self against the second man, whose right 1 was in time to grip. The Chinaman had leaped out of the way for & moment, only to spring forward with a knife of his own, and he was such a ferocious-looking fellow as he hurled himself upon his assailant that the latter lost his nerve and gave way. For a second, then, I thought that it was all over, for the third man had not yet succeeded in -wresting his knife back from the Englishman’s body, and my own immediate oppenent was still dazed by the blow I"had got in. I tugged at my automatic and gotiit free. I could have ended the whole thing, seusse, | the midst of my agonized efforts, I saw i [ the “man who had been at my mercy y moment.

The .only one of our assailants who was comparatively unhurt was the man who had nearly throttled me, and I believe .that Tul-Kak would have shot him, had I not stayed his arm, with the help of which brief respite the man took a flying leap down the stairs and ppeared. “You saved my life, sir,” I told Tul- Kak. “don’t. want to shoot that man like & rabbit.

I was in a mighty bad condition and in spite of the fact that' I was treated for over eight months I did not improve at all. I was troubled with my stomach, kidneys were out of order, bowels would not move regular and had terrible pains in the shoulders, arms and legs. The pains, ® was told, were due to neuritis, but as I kept saying I thought my entire trouble was due to a system overrun with poison. I felt all along that if I could once get the bowels moving regularly that the other troubles . ‘would soon be corrected.
