Foot by foot he made his way tavvard the ap- posite ledge. I agonized with him at every m,ovement of the swinging vine. Could. he inake it? Once he hesitated an instant. A cold sweat covered me and the possibility of his failure clutehed my throat. The crossing was made; he reached: -the' tree and dis- appeared in the branches. Crouching low I had sought tO hide mywlf from the savages, who by this time were spreading over the plateau in their search. A. series of sharp yelps from the hounds warned me that they had at last found the' fresh trail. 'Williams waved his hand. Out into space I swung.

Along the edge of the preciplioe we walked, coming shortly upon the n,ar- rawest point in the gorge. Here it was ecareely more than fifty feet from edge to ed,ge. By comparison with the average width it looked as though by sive/Ilium:an effort one might even leap across and land in the protecting branches of the grove of giant yew trees growing on the opposite cliff. Williams measured, the distance with his eye: "With a rope one could probably reacih the other eide from here," he said. True enough, but no rope was at hand: ' "Why a rope necessarily?' I asIced.

It is owing to the fondness of the Celtic tribes 'for the leek that their descendents, the Welsh, retain it as an emblem of their nationality. The leac or leek was an important table vegetable among the Anglo -Sax - one, for they called their gardens "leac•gardens," and the gardener was a "leek -ward." As otb.er specie -5 of the same tribe were introduced into the country, they also were called "leeks," with a pre- fix denoting some peculiarity,- of the Disease is Rampant. Cholera and typhus, due to the liv- ing conditions consequent upon the blight of famine, are said to be sweep- ing over the country. Peasants in. desperation are caiting their grain prematurely or eating harmful substi- tutes. The problem of relief from out- side sources is complicated by the un- willingness of any Government= to trust the Soviet authorities, who are alleged to be in the habit of placating certain elements with favors at the expense of the suffering majority. Even Berlin, hi discussing relief mea- sures, makes the restriction that any German expedition must work inde- pendently Of the Soviets. Russia's industrial production, for long on the downwai'd grade, has drop- ped with startling emphasis since the famine spread.
