Something in the nature of the thing, or in my physical condition, deprived me of all knowledge of the past.

Since then I have read of several similar cases.

The curious thing about my own experience was that I could find no reference to my disappearance, in any way, nor could I learn of any automobile accident that might account for it.

I walked the streets day after day, hoping some acquaintance would accost me.

I waited patiently for some impulse to direct me to my former haunts.
