the greatest shock and surprise of any event in my
adventurous life. Even now, after this long interval,
I find myself thrilling as I think of it, and feeling once
more that sudden flood of joy, amazement, and incredulity
which utterly submerged my mind. Let me say to that public
which has shown some interest in those glimpses which I
have occasionally given them of the thoughts and actions of
a very remarkable man that they are not to blame me if I
have not shared my knowledge with them, for I should have
considered it my first duty to have done so had I not been
barred by a positive prohibition from his own lips, which
was only withdrawn upon the third of last month.
