It has revived my interest and belief in all such beautiful things as buried treasures and hidden cities and shooting men against stone walls and filibusters.

There are not many of these stories but every man tells them differently so they have all the freshness of a new tale.

It is the first time so they say that it has happened in twelve months, but after this it must be better.

At Panama they fine the ice man $1000 every day his machine breaks and so we have hopes.
