ADDRESSES OF MAJOR LACEY 217 



in one of the caves celebrated the event by cooking the 

 reptile and eating it with their wienewurst luncheon. 

 They were not at all enthusiastic over the dish that so

The archaeological school had a large tent fly winch

 some festal night when its native population were alive 

 ages ago. 



We listened to the laughing Rito as it raced down the
