...study Terra Cotta glazing and firing in China." This is inaccurate. Bufano was not married until 1925, then to Virginia Howard, in Houston, Texas, by whom he had a son, Erskine Scott Wood Bufano, born in August 1928 at Ross, Calif. Mother and son have been residents of Mill Valley, Calif, for several years...

In the effort to conceal its identity the House even renounced such an abortive distinction as the Kirkland tower. Definite, but not startling, is its situation on both sides of Mill Street, between Plympton and Bow, conveniently near to the Weeks foot bridge, and to the delights of the Business School Cafeteria.

Young Gretchen, a burgomaster's daughter, is suspected of wanting to elope in order to avoid marriage with the Governor of Zeeland. She is consequently imprisoned in a haunted mill. The two Americans, ConKidder and Kid Conner, rescue her. This unexpected disappearance from the mill occasions the offering of a large reward. A telegram is at once dispatched to the Hague summoning Sherlock Holmes, containing the declaration "money is no object." Intercepting this, the two Americans change their disguise to that...
