Then he committed to writing his final tale, 4 long narrative with the proviso: “I cannot vouch for all the statements, so 1 write them, knowing they may be either fact or fancy.” His name, bo says, is Horace Raw ling, born on March 25, 1879, at Finch ingfield, Essex, and his mother, sis ters and brothers reside at Cedar Road, Hampton Wick, Middlesex. off the trophy sud the champloaship| for the current year. i Harvard won 8% points and gained second place.
