If you make one remark you lose your life." I agreed and kept my mouth shut without a muzzle.

That "memory" is as clear today as if it had happened yesterday.
One day while reading in my fine stateroom, a lady came to the open door and asked me if I would go out with her on the deck that pleasant afternoon and meet some friends of hers.

I thanked her, but refused as I was reading one of Hon.

Justin McCarthy's books, and as I had the honour of meeting him and his most interesting wife in New York City at the home of Mrs.Henry M.Field, I was much engrossed in what he wrote.

Again, another person came and entreated me to go to the deck; not suspecting any plot to test me, I went with her, and found a crowd gathered there, and a good-looking young man seemed to be haranguing them.
