I hired the farmer to drive me to the railway station, where I took the train to New York.

I seemed to know the city, but no recollection guided me to home or friends.

I went to a small hotel, took a room, and began to read all the newspapers, seeking to discover if anyone was reported missing.

The sight of automobiles led me to conceive the theory that I had been riding in one of those machines along a country road when something threw me out.

My head might have struck a stump or stone and the blow rendered me insensible.
