Carib's assets foot up to a mere $1,200,000, three-fourths of which is represented by its present stake in the Barco game. An investing company, it has only one full-time official Secretary & Treasurer Charles Ferris French. This autumn he was suddenly presented with an opportunity to withdraw gracefully from the Barco game with winnings of more than 100% on the ante.

...admirers as the best writer in English on South America, his death last March evoked little more than the perfunctory tributes, compounded of respect and surprise, that seem to be reserved for literary figures who are generally thought to have been dead for years. But Cunninghame Graham was no mere Victorian period piece surviving to a cynical and indifferent age. Born in London in 1852, he was brought up by his Spanish grandmother and his Scotch father, lived through enough careers in his 84 years to make such celebrated literary men of action as Doughty or Wilfrid Blunt seem sedentary...
