That is as far as I am going to go in the way of excuse, explanation, or comment. The rest of my story is a simple rela tion of facts and occurrences in the order in which they came to my notice and happened to me. It may start off a little slowly and jerkily, just as we did - not knowing What was coming to us. I'd like to add that it got quite hot enough to suit me later - several times. Therefore, as my effort is going to be to carry you right along with me in this account of my experiences, don't be impatient if nothing very impor tant seems to happen at first. I felt a little ennui myself at the beginning. But that was certainly one thing that didn't annoy me later.
