T took a copy of a foi'm Mr.' Meyer had "been 
required to fill out on board ship, as follows: 
Name and title

the same room by a Mr. I slay F. Prysdale, a 
British insurance agent, who had travelled be- 
tv/een Kiukiang and Anch'ing (see statement of 
Mr. Meyer's servant). It is understood that 
the Araerican Consulate at Nanking is endeavor- 
ing to secure a statement from Mr. Drysdale, 
who was apparently one of the last persons to 
have any conversation v/ith Mr. Meyer, 
September 31, 1918.
