This morning Mr. B, a prominent insurance man, came to Dr. X's office and asked him concerning his son. Dr. X told him he knew nothing except the meager information in his son's letter. Then Mr. B told Dr. X that he, B, knew where the boat sailed and what was on board, and that one of B's agents (insurance) had visited a house in Brooklyn where some Germans lived and there was told that the ship would sail at such and such a time, that there were so many soldiers on board and that there were several hundred pieces of artillery on the ship.

The Greeks and the Hebrews met for the first time in the slave market. The medium of communication seems to have been Tyrian slave-merchants. In the Bible the Greeks are mentioned as bartering their brazen vessels for slaves. In another place Joel speaks of the Tyrians selling the children of

Judah to the Grecians.
